Hate (Sarcófago Album)
''Hate'' is the third studio album by Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago, released in March 1994 through Cogumelo Records. It has a more stripped-down approach than their previous record,Gimenez, 1995, page 54. '' The Laws of Scourge'' (1991). ''Hate'' is also notable for its controversial use of a drum machine.Franzin, 1997, page 16. At the time, Sarcófago were attempting to become the fastest band in the world, and there were no drummers in their native Brazil who could play at the required speeds. Frontman Wagner Lamounier claimed to have no qualms about using this device, on the basis that most death metal drummers use trigger pad A trigger pad is an electronic sensor on a drum that produces a certain sound assigned from a sound module once the head has been struck.

Sarcófago
Sarcófago was a Brazilian extreme metal band formed in 1985. They were fronted by Sepultura's original singer, Wagner Lamounier, and Geraldo Minelli. The front cover of the band's debut album, '' I.N.R.I.'', is regarded as a great influence on black metal's corpse paint style make-up. That record is also considered one of the " first wave" albums that helped shape the genre. The band broke up in 2000, after releasing the '' Crust'' EP. Former members, minus Wagner, played throughout Brazil in 2006 under the moniker Tributo ao Sarcófago (Tribute to Sarcófago). In 2009, rumors surfaced that the original ''I.N.R.I.'' line-up were reuniting for a small, high-profile tour, but proved to be false. A reissue of their back catalogue is in the works, a joint effort between Cogumelo Records and American label Greyhaze. History Early days (1985–1988) Sarcófago ( Portuguese for 'sarcophagus') was formed in 1985 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Equally indebted to Finnis ...

Extreme Metal
Extreme metal is a loosely defined umbrella term for a number of related heavy metal music subgenres that have developed since the early 1980s. It has been defined as a "cluster of metal subgenres characterized by sonic, verbal, and visual transgression". The term usually refers to a more abrasive, harsher, underground, non-commercialized style associated with the speed metal, thrash metal, black metal, death metal, and doom metal genres.K. Kahn-Harris, ''Extreme Metal: Music and Culture on the Edge'' (Berg Publishers, 2007), , p. 31. Hardcore punk has been considered an integral part of the development of extreme metal in song structure and speed, apart from the case of doom metal. Definitions Extreme metal acts set themselves apart from traditional heavy metal acts, such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Motörhead, by incorporating more abrasive musical characteristics such as higher tempos, increased aggression and a harsher extremity.

The Laws Of Scourge
''The Laws of Scourge'' is the second studio album by the Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago. It was on this album that the band's lyrical content shifted from Satanism to more realistic subject matter; "Midnight Queen" is about a prostitute, while "Screeches from the Silence" is about living life in a care-free manner. After the lo-fi black/thrash metal style of '' I.N.R.I.'', ''The Laws of Scourge'' marks a change in musical style, with the band playing clearer and more proficient death/thrash metal. This was also the last full-length record to feature a human drummer, as from ''Hate'' onwards, the band would use a drum machine.

Drum Machine
A drum machine is an electronic musical instrument that creates percussion sounds, drum beats, and patterns. Drum machines may imitate drum kits or other percussion instruments, or produce unique sounds, such as synthesized electronic tones. A drum machine often has pre-programmed beats and patterns for popular genres and styles, such as pop music, rock music, and dance music. Most modern drum machines made in the 2010s and 2020s also allow users to program their own rhythms and beats. Drum machines may create sounds using Analog synthesizer, analog synthesis or play prerecorded Sampling (music), samples. While a distinction is generally made between drum machines (which can play back pre-programmed or user-programmed beats or patterns) and electronic drums (which have pads that can be struck and played like an acoustic drum kit), there are some drum machines that have buttons or pads that allow the performer to play drum sounds "live", either on top of a programmed drum beat or ...

Wagner Lamounier
Wagner Moura Lamounier (born 30 April 1969) is a Brazilian musician who achieved fame for having been the original vocalist of Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura, and for having created and led the first-wave black/thrash metal band Sarcófago from 1985 until it disbanded in 2000. Life and career Lamounier sang briefly with Sepultura during the early part of the band's career, contributing the lyrics to the song "Antichrist" (a reference to his own moniker) featured on the band's first release '' Bestial Devastation''. He then moved to his own band (Sarcófago) which, while less commercially successful than Sepultura, is widely hailed as a major influence on the most extreme spectrum of metal music, being revered by black, thrash and death metal fans. Lamounier left the music industry when Sarcófago split in 2000, and he is currently a professor of economic science and applied statistic at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte.

Trigger Pad
A trigger pad is an electronic sensor on a drum that produces a certain sound assigned from a sound module once the head has been struck. This device allows drummers to play at a constant dynamic regardless of the physical force used. Triggers are also used to add more definition to drum sounds and prevent bleeding between sound sources, making it easier to hear clearly every drum hit without rumble or excessive cymbals. An example is where very rapid bass drum hits become difficult to distinguish or even hear in the presence of a full band. Other uses Triggers are used to count and monitor drum hits, usually as a training device (e.g., to see if a drummer misses hits), and to officially monitor tests and competitions of drumming speed. Mike Portnoy uses an electronic drum pad with a hardwired electronic metronome as what he calls the "secret cowbell", to count off the songs in a way that only his fellow band members and the technicians can hear. Triggers can send a MIDI ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
