The Worst (Sarcófago Album)
''The Worst'' is the fourth and final studio album by the Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago. Wagner Lamounier and Gerald Minelli view this record as a "summation" of the band's career.Franzin, 1997, p. 16. ''The Worst'' is notable for not only having a more death metal-oriented sound than the band's earlier works, but also containing traces of the then-popular genre of groove metal. The music is also slower than that on the band's previous album ''Hate Hatred or hate is an intense negative emotional response towards certain people, things or ideas, usually related to opposition or revulsion toward something. Hatred is often associated with intense feelings of anger, contempt, and disgust. Ha ...'' and features a more prominent use of programmed drums.

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 ...

The genre is primarily derived from thrash metal, but played in slower tempos, and making use of rhythmic guitar parts. It was pioneered in the late 1980s by groups like Exhorder, Prong and Bad Brains, and then popularized by the commercial success of Pantera, White Zombie, Machine Head and Sepultura.

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).

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.

Drum Programming
Programming is a form of music production and performance using electronic devices and computer software, such as sequencers and workstations or hardware synthesizers, sampler and sequencers, to generate sounds of musical instruments. These musical sounds are created through the use of music coding languages. There are many music coding languages of varying complexity. Music programming is also frequently used in modern pop and rock music from various regions of the world, and sometimes in jazz and contemporary classical music. It gained popularity in the 1950s and has been emerging ever since. Music programming is the process in which a musician produces a sound or "patch" (be it from scratch or with the aid of a synthesizer/ sampler), or uses a sequencer to arrange a song. Coding languages Music coding languages are used to program the electronic devices to produce the instrumental sounds they make. Each coding language has its own level of difficulty and function.
