SEPULTURA (Brazil) - MORBID VISIONS (First Press 1986) (Cogumelo Records)

#Sepultura #BrazilianMetal #PureMetalHolocaust SEPULTURA is a Brazilian Thrash Metal band formed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera. SEPULTURA has also been credited as one of the second wave of thrash metal acts from the late 1980s to early-to-mid-1990s. The brothers' early influences included Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, and metal and hard rock artists of the early 1980s, such as Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne. The Cavalera brothers started listening to more extreme metal bands at the time such as Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Kreator, Sodom, Slayer, Megadeth, Exodus, and Exciter. They also had influences on Brazilian metal from bands like Stress, Sagrado Inferno, and Dorsal Atlântica. By 1984, they had dropped out of school. After several early membership changes, Sepultura established a stable lineup of Max on guitar, Igor on drums, lead vocalist Wagner Lamounier, and bassist Paulo Jr. Lamounier departed in March 1985 after disagreements with the band, and moved on to become the leader of the pioneering Brazilian black metal band Sarcófago. After his departure, Max took over the vocal duties. Jairo Guedes was invited to join the band as lead guitarist. In early 1987, Jairo Guedz quit the band. Guedz was replaced by São Paulo-based guitarist Andreas Kisser MORBID VISION is their first full-length album released in November 10, 1986 through Cogumelo Records. While later albums have a more political edge, MORBID VISION (along with the "Bestial Devastation" 1985 E.P.) is notable for Satanic themes and imagery. The band said many lyrics were fashioned after those of early extreme metal bands such as Venom and Celtic Frost (note the similarity of the album title to Morbid Tales) All pre-1992 releases of MORBID VISIONS featured the first movement of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana ("O Fortuna") as an unnamed introduction. This composition was left off the CD re-release, probably due to copyright issues. This album would mark the last appearance of the group's original lead guitarist Jairo Guedz.
