| Wagner Antichrist, from Sarcófago, formed Cirrhosis in late 1988 with the proposal of playing a brutal yet technical sound. While Wagner returned to Sarcófago, Cirrhosis stabilized its line-up with Juarez (bass), Luiz Fernando (vocal), Rodrigo and Marlon (guitars), and Fernando (drums). This team signed with Cogumelo Records, which released a split-album featuring also the band Loucyfer. Following the release of “Alcohol Rules” the band toured Brasil, and soon international recognition came along. But in 1993 the band split due to particular divergences.
The band resumed its career in 2001 with a new line-up: Juarez (vocal/bass), Fernando (drums), Marcos and Henrique (guitars/backing vocals). Shortly after the first rehearsals they managed to close a deal with Cogumelo for the release of a new studio album.
Alcoholic Death Noise, produced by Geraldo Minelli from Sarcófago, is a knock out! Cirrhosis returns to the origins of traditional Death Metal, with unheard aggressiveness: stabbing guitar riffs, morbid rhythm guitars, and insane drums.
The album’s themes are diverse: Brazilian misery and starving dying children in “Welcome to Misery”; drunken life and the true reality of life’s dark side in “Alcoholic Death Noise”; hidden dreams and the truth about women’s dreams in “Sexual Delight”; and many others.
Alcoholic Death Noise shows the crudeness of Death Metal roots. Their version to Sarcófago’s Midnight Queen pays a masterful tribute to the origins of the Death Metal from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
With great production, the album is surely aimed at a noisy alcoholic death!
