Bloody Vengeance

Hailed as one of the founders of the South American extreme metal scene, Vulcano came to be in 1981 in São Paulo, Brazil. Struggling with a non-existent infrastructure for this kind of music, the band released their debut EP \"Om Pushne Namah\" in 1983, which was sung in Portuguese and followed by \"Live!\" in 1985, the first metal live album ever published in Brazil. \"At the beginning, everything was very different and precarious here in Brazil\", mastermind Zhema remembers. \"Nobody knew exactly how to write a metal song like the Europeans, so we did it our way - no good instruments, no good amplifiers, no recording studios, no audio engineers.\" In 1986, the five-piece unleashed their first full length \"Bloody Vengeance\", which was indeed recorded and mixed within 24 hours by Vulcano themselves. Rivalling even the ringleaders from that time - say, Slayer and Kreator - in terms of ferocity, the album quickly became an underground classic and has maintained this status ever since.
