| Sarcófago is the most polemic among all Brazilian Heavy Metal bands. From the beginning in 1985 until today, they have always had an extreme anti-Christ and pro-Satan ideology.
The band was created in 1985, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Antichrist, who had just left Sepultura, was the singer; Incubus played the bass, Butcher was the guitar player and D.D. Crazy played the drums. Although Sepultura never recorded anything with its first singer, their partnership is present in Sepultura's first album, Bestial Devastation: the song "Antichrist".
Sarcófago's first two songs were included in the "Warfare Noise I" compilation (1986), along with Mutilator, Chakal and Holocausto. Because Wagner Antichrist left Sepultura due to ideological and musical divergences, his appearance with a new band and their debut in the "Warfare Noise I" Compilation caused a situation involving several gossips, bad tempers, mutual accusations, shouts and, of course, fights.
They didn't become as huge as Sepultura. Even so they have released several albums by Cogumelo and toured South America and Europe. Their albums were released in Europe by Music for Nations. In the Black/Death Metal genre Sarcófago is, by far, the band who suffers the most with piracy.
