Brazilian extreme metal band formed in 1985 by Wagner 'Antichrist' Lamounier; noted for the 1987 debut I.N.R.I. and an influential early black/death/thrash sound.

Formed in 1985; frontman Wagner 'Antichrist' Lamounier was in Sepultura's first lineup. Early lineup on I.N.R.I. included Butcher (guitar), Incubus (bass, Gerald Minelli) and D.D. Crazy (drums). Reviews emphasise the album's raw production, frantic blastbeat drumming, satanic/controversial lyrics and strong influence on subsequent extreme metal.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Sarcófago's 1987 debut I.N.R.I. as a seminal, violent, and influential record in early extreme metal. Reviewers highlight frantic blastbeat drumming, satanic/controversial lyrics, and the raw production. The band's lineup (Wagner 'Antichrist' Lamounier, Incubus, Butcher, D.D. Crazy) and historical importance in Brazil are emphasized.

For:Fans of extreme metal (black/death/thrash), metal historians, listeners curious about 1980s underground metal.

 Thanks to the sounds and the lyrics, this I.N.R.I. is definitely among the very first Black albums in history... and all this in Brazil!

 I.N.R.I is, therefore, an undoubted masterpiece, both for its considerable historical importance and for the violence and speed unleashed.
