Chakal & Mutilator & Sarcófago & Holocausto - Warfare Noise I [split] (1986) 2xLP Reissue [2013]

 

C H A K A L

 Chakal was formed in early 1985 in Minas Gerais by William Wiz (drums), Destroyer (bass), and Mark (guitars). With the addition of Sgôto on vocals, the band made their first live appearance at the "Metal BH II" festival on December 10th, 1985. Other bands who performed at the festival included Sagrado Inferno, Armmagedon, Sepultura, and Minotauro.

In 1987, the band released their Abominable Anno Domini LP, and began a successful career throughout Brazil, with concerts in Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Recife.

In 1990, the album The Man His Own Jackal was released, which demonstrated more complex song structures, riffs, and lyrics. While those in Brazil praised the creative effort, international critics questioned and criticized the band's originality.

In 1993, on their Death Is a Lonely Business album, the band flirted with a death metal-oriented sound. After a period of inactivity, they became active again in 2000 with Deadland, which marked the return of the vocalist Korg.

 

M U T I L A T O R

 Formerly known as Desaster, but changed their name to Mutilator before releasing their first demo.

According to Rodrigo Neves, Mutilator went on hiatus in 1993 and the 2001 reunion was only a false restart.

Reunited for E Aí Cara? Metal Fest on April 7th, 2018 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is a permanent reunion, according to Ricardo Neves.

 

S A R C Ó F A G O

 Guitarist and growler Wagner Lamounier (Antichrist to his friends) started Sarcófago in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1985, shortly after being booted out of fellow death metal upstarts Sepultura, and igniting a bitter rivalry that would rage for years to come. The band's lineup was in constant flux early on, but by the end of the following year, Sarcófago had managed to record three promising demos, namely Satanic Lust, Black Vomit, and the notorious Christ's Death, all of which circulated in the tape-trading underground and helped the band gather a small but rabid following.

 Bassist Gerald Minelli (aka Incubus), guitarist Zéber (Butcher), and drummer Eduardo (D.D. Crazy) were soon on board and Sarcófago signed with local metal imprint Cogumelo Records, which issued their debut full-length, I.N.R.I., in July 1987.

 According to Wagner, the band split up in 1987 after recording the I.N.R.I. album and reformed in 1989.

 

 H O L O C A U S T O

 In the beginning of their career, they incorporated a Nazi aesthetic, though they only did that in order to shock people (much like Sepultura, Escola Alemã, and others). Their style is somewhere between death, black and thrash metal, before such distinctions were drawn. Rodrigo Magalhães did lead vocals from first demo until "Campo de Extermínio".

After their first album, Holocausto moved towards a crossover/thrash sound. On "Tozago as Deismno", they mixed heavy guitars, with industrial and doom influences, along with heavy experimentalism. Afterwards, they changed their name to PexbaA and started to play avantgarde jazz/rock.

The band reformed in 2004, playing thrash metal, and returned to their early extreme style with 2016's "War Metal Massacre."
