It is pretty easy to guess this record came from Brazil. Just listen to Antichrist's "singing" (okay, spewing out of blood and guts). It has the characteristic brazilian accent (see also Max from Sepultura).

Malignant as all fuck, packed with good riffs and cheap production that it is quite a charming experience to listen to. Label partners (at the time) Sepultura unleashed their own brand of pure vomitory blasphemy with their Bestial Devastation EP and the Morbid Visions LP, mixing Slayer, Possessed and (early) Sodom into one mean piece of underproduced sonic warfare, but Sarcofago, dare I say, went beyond that. INRI, speaking as a whole, is far more simple in it's structuring, far more brutal, and just as charismatic.

The cover art gives you a good idea of what you might find in the music. Damn, I wouldn't like to meet guys dressed like THAT in a dark alley. Or anywhere, for that matter. The amount on ammo over them would make Rambo pee on his pants. Completed with inverted crosses, corpsepaint, spikes and kvvl as fvck black outfit.

Inside: just pure fucking old-school black metal the way it was meant then and the way it is supposed to be now! "Nightmare", "INRI", "Christ's Death", "Satanas" and "The Black Vomit" (from the Warfare Noise I compilation and available only on CD versions) are all brilliant displays of pure annihilation.

If you heard "Seven Churches", "Morbid Visions", "Apocaliptic Raids", "In the Sign of Evil/Obsessed by Cruelty" and the like and you feel like you need more, then this is for you. HAIL SATAN!!!!
