Release Date: 1989 | Tracklist

Review Summary: Don't judge this album by its cover: besides some shortcomings, it gets even more brutal than its artwork.

In the 80s and early 90s, in the beginnings of the Norwegian black metal scene, it’s not hard to imagine how life felt like for metalheads of that league: you can easily picture a bunch of guys with black T-shirts, jackets and bracelets blasting some Bathory, Venom and other extreme metal bands in the speakers of the basement of Helvete, the famous record shop owned by Mayhem’s guitarist Euronymous. But what is weird to imagine in that picture is their long hair banging to the sound of a South American band. It sounds strange, but it’s true: Euronymous himself, one of the founding fathers of Norway’s early black metal scene, cited Sarcófago’s debut album I.N.R.I. as one of his personal influences.

Early Sarcofago (from INRI to The Laws of Scourge) is awesome. Pos'd.
