PH, you better prepare for this...
Wormhole Bookings in association with Xaninho Discos proudly presents the Cult Brazilian Extreme Metal Legacy of SARCOFAGO coming to Asia this August.
Performed by original bassist Geraldo “Incubus” Minelli and his band The Laws, the project will bring the raw, uncompromising sound that helped define early black and death metal.
Formed in 1985 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Sarcófago became one of the most influential underground acts in extreme metal history. Their ground-breaking 1987 debut album I.N.R.I. remains widely regarded as a foundational release in the evolution of both black and death metal. The band’s raw sound, chaotic intensity, and provocative imagery helped shape the global extreme metal movement and inspired countless artists across the genre.
Across their career, the band released a series of influential records that cemented their cult status. Albums such as Rotting, The Laws of Scourge, Hate, and The Worst expanded their sound from primitive black metal toward more technical and aggressive death metal territory. The band officially disbanded in 2000 after releasing the Crust EP, but their legacy has continued to grow worldwide.
Today, Sarcófago’s influence is widely acknowledged across the global metal scene, including among Norwegian pioneers such as Mayhem and Satyricon, as well as many modern extreme metal artists.
The current live project began in São Paulo in 2019 with the goal of reviving the brutal essence of Sarcófago for new generations of fans. The line-up was originally formed by producer Michel Crisaor alongside musicians Rodrigo Malevolent and former Sarcófago guitarist Fábio Jhasko, who recorded the legendary album The Laws of Scourge. In 2021, founder Geraldo Minelli officially joined the project, bringing an authentic connection to the band’s original era.
Since then, the band has performed extensively in Brazil and Europe, including a major European tour featuring more than 20 shows. With renewed momentum and a growing international following, the project continues to celebrate the enduring legacy of Sarcófago.
These exclusive shows promise a relentless celebration of old-school death and black metal, honouring one of the most influential bands to emerge from Brazil’s legendary underground scene.
