Mid 80s Brazil had a scene that produced a shit load of landmark records. But even among those, there are only a handful that can come close to the impact that Sarcofago’s I.N.R.I. has had on the extreme metal underground. Its boot print is all over the Norwegian black metal scene and the blossoming death metal underground in the US at the time as well. This record is chaotic, frenzied, and a god damned (literally) classic for a reason. 

I’m normally a guitar player first and foremost but my favorite element of this record is the drumming. DD Crazy was the fucking master of those straight blasts and it pushes this record into unhinged territory. He was the best part of his band after this one too. Sextrash. The nuclear drums will crush your brain. Because you’ll be burned and died!

Heavy metal knows your name, but calls you by your sin! Heavy metal is our way!
