"...WHEN THEY WERE STILL VERY MUCH AN ADOLESCENT THREE-PIECE ADDICTED TO SLAYER AND CELTIC FROST."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on early shots of Brazilian thrash/extreme metal band SEPULTURA (none are even 18 yet! Max can't be older than 16!), c. 1984-'85.
OVERVIEW: "The first shot is of Sepultura’s first hardcore punk side project, GUERRILHA, which consisted of Max & Igor Cavalera with Jairo and Bibica from MUTILATOR. The other photos are the band when they were still very much an adolescent three-piece addicted to SLAYER (notice wall graff) and CELTIC FROST. Despite Lamounier having been a member since the band’s inception, he departed in March of the same year of the first shot to form SARCÓFAGO, having become disillusioned with SEPULTURA’s direction."
Bit of a random leg day as usual, and fully clothed long pants and all, which was a poor choice. Even dumber are my clips of calf raises in pants. My video editor is on vacation, whadya want from me. Did a few sets and few reps of:
Bottoms up/racked Kb reverse lunges
Weighted 1L calf raises
Weighted Bulgarian split squats
Handstand hold work
Pistol squat work
A-Z today is Crypta "Under the Black Wings" from their 2021 record, 'Echos of the Soul' — if not familiar with Crypta, very much like a couple of the members' former band Nervosa, do check them out. Very good, kickass Brazilian thrash!

Nervosa wasn’t doing anything new on Jailbreak or any of their previous 4 albums, though “Nail the Coffin” had more than a few traces of Arch Enemy-style melodeath to go with the thrash that was their original M.O. The solos were certainly straight out of the Arch Enemy/In Flames playbook, as were Prika Amaral’s clearly enunciated shouty rasp. Nervosa had a full grasp of their craft and knew how to deliver a sturdy and aggressive banger, and “Nail the Coffin” was exactly that.
Amazônia! Mata Atlântica! Araucária! Caatinga!
Amazônia!!!
Gringo você entrou e agora vai se fuder
A floresta está armada esperando sua chegada
Matem o gringo na aldeia macabra
Corta a cabeça e põe na jangada
Entreguem o corpo na embaixada
E assinem no peito: Floresta Armada
