Brazilian bands everyone should know : Korzus

Korzus has been around since 1983 . Their discography starts with the Black/Thrash Metal opus "Sonho Maníaco" , released in 1987 . They still sung in portuguese by then . The lyrical content was ridiculous (my opinion) and since negativity was hovering over the band and their drummer commited SUICIDE (and there was a song called "suicídio" on their debut) they decided to DROP OUT the satanic lyrics and adopted enligh as their official language for the next releases .


They stablished themselves as thrash legends altought there have been some gaps between albums that I myself consider a major fault for a band with their importance in the metal scenes here ...

Yes, Korzus are very good! I also like Krisiun, Sarcófago, and Violator.

I today like both Sarcofago and Violator . I used to despise Sarcofago in the past , because the band was blantantly anti christian . Now I can enjoy some of their material , but not all . Violator is musically cool , but since the band is a sort of "communist Metal" , I tend NOT to give them much publicity , since I today consider communism the same as nazism .

Sarcofago was friggin hilarious. Thanks to the language barrier, their attempts at writing lyrics in English were a cavalcade of unintentional comedy.

I remember one song called "Ready to F*ck All the B*tches" in particular was a hoot.

"I will lick you of the feets til the head! Making you fell (sic) torrential orgasms!"

Never knew Violator was communist metal but I don’t really pay much attention to the lyrics. I just like their sound.

Oh yeah , Sarcofago sounds hilarious with such lyrics nowadays . Still , they where very important for the developmento of extreme Metal (Black and Death Metal) but I like some of their records like Rotting and Laws of Scourge , I'm O.K. with these albums and I don't "idolize" the band as many people on the realms of Black Metal do . They where just precursors to Black and Death Metal , but way better bands appeared lately .
