SEPULTURA

Release Year: 1997
Artist Origin: BRA
Style: savage blackened death thrash metal

even though recorded with strictly limited time and short on money, with obvious lack of performing skills, yet sharing plain fanatic commitment, first two studio efforts by Sepultura, 1985's split LP with Overdose and 1986's debut full-length remain ultimately significant artifacts of grim, morbid and violent, Southern style extreme metal, blending death, black and thrash into an over-explosive cauldron of unbridled aggression that is truly hard to match - no surprise it is still regarded an absolute classic among the admirers of the rawest metal available; European re-issue combines both recordings and comes with a remastered sound, vintage photo collection and liner notes by Don Kaye in the booklet, as well as Necromancer demo version and Anticop live track as bonus
