The definition of extreme metal: History of Sarcófago

I was born I live in Belo Horizonte in Brazil. I had opportunity to see them alive a lot of times. Old Sepultura, Chakal, The Mist, Mutilator. Old good times :-)

[@Peasant_in_a_tree]

You're the first person, that I've seen you a documentary on sarcafago. They are one of the most, if not the most important precursor to black/death metal there is. Thank you for the content. It's great.

[@user-qz4br8hy5t]

I am so glad that there is at least one short documentairy on Sarcofago a band being so much influential to the global extreme metal underground of the late 80s.

[@jpmtlhead39]

Its a real Shame and Sad that so many Metalheads never heard of or just know by hearing the name somewhere. Because Sarcófago are One of the Most Underrated Bands in Metal History. And what makes their Story even more Sad is the fact that they were so far ahead of their time,and were the Influence for so many Successfull Metal Bands Worldwide,and them never reach that "stage" that they Deserved so much. They are among the Greatest of Trash and Death Metal. PS: Great job pulling the Story abaut this Awesome Band.

The best Black Metal band to ever existed in history! True inspirational band to many Black Metal bands out there. INRI is truly the peak of what Extreme Metal is at its climax! Non others could match! Sarcofago forever! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rafaelmarmusic]

If Sarcófago reunites it could easily do a well payed tour, including Wacken and similars, for the brand around their name has gained huge recognition in recent years, thanks to the internet. INRI stands out as the first extreme music work based on Blast beats as a concept and substancial part of the songwritting, not a circunstantial byproduct of moments as it happened in other genres like grind, harcore, jazz....

[@CodyIgor]

Please do one on Necrophagia They never get mentioned or the credit they deserve

[@andrewjackson2843]

Hell yeah! They were the first true US "Death Metal" band imho. Had more of a horror and zombies creepy vibe than the other bands which were more into satanic lyrics and themes like Black Metal.

[@renatocamargo1843]

Some information at the beginning of the video is incorrect. Brazil already had a movement analogous to British psychedelia in the 60s and part of the 70s. This movement was called "Tropicália", where experiments with rock also took place. In the 70s, rock and heavy metal developed in Brazil and South America. See the Brazilian band "Rock da mortalha", which has a recording from 1974 and the Peruvian band called "Tarkus" with the song "El Pirata" from 1972. It is wrong to say that Brazilians' interest in rock/metal began after rock in rio.

[@rafaelmarmusic]

True, good correction. Brazil had an intense rock scene since early 70's, particularly motivated by antagonism against the current dictatorship ruling back then.

Finally a person explaining what happened in fact, I’m tired to see people saying that Black Metal emerged in Norway, as a Brazilian, I support everything you shared in this video, as I know people that lived that time, and everybody confirms the things you shared, so thanks for that

Nice documentary but they are few misses with this: saecofao very first demo from 1985 they is available on youtube,their black vomit demo not be confused with the misleading of the low quality warefare noise split & especially sepultura very first demo with Wagner,possesed,& skullcrusher from 1984. But none less great video

Best South American band ever, way way better than Sepultura. They're on my top 5 metal bands with Mayhem, Nocturnus, Viogression and Ripping Corpse.

[@SatanicDuck666]

🤘nice picks

[@Tiago_Destro]

A banda Behemoth gravou um cover da música "Satanás", do Sarcófago. Por mais que a estética da banda faça parecer que Sarcófago era uma banda de Black Metal, o próprio baixista Wagner disse em um documentário chamado "Ruído das Minas" que eles sempre foram uma banda de Death Metal. Foi realmente uma pena Sarcófago não ter continuado em atividade e não ter tido a notoriedade que merecia, seria uma das melhores bandas do mundo. Uma das minhas músicas preferidas é "Desecration of virgin".

[@Rat66669]

I have a special interest on sarcofago rn and its so hard to find stuff about them my autism is autisming so hard rn

I don't mind the AI narrator, since he sounds like a buttoned up TV news announcer discussing underground metal, but it does need some refining for proper pronunciation of certain proper names and what not. But mostly I'm amused at Wagner's grown up life after the band.

@@sam.n7762 I had this EP and i know João from cogumelo and Wagner as well. I live in belo horizonte also. It was released by cogumelo. Sarcófago needed to deliver one last album to end the record contract with Cogumelo Records, and the band had already disbanded. João kept pressuring, so Wagner and Gerald recorded this EP to fulfill the contract and put an end to the band.
