Thrash Metal

Vulcano
Vulcano is among the earliest of Brazilian extreme metal bands,
alongside
Overdose
and (of course)
Sepultura ,
having formed in 1981.
Their first official release was actually a live album
(entitled, simply,
Live ), with their first studio
album,
Bloody Vengeance , appearing a year later in 1986.
Typical of extreme bands of the time, complex songwriting
and technical musicianship were definitely not on display
here, the band delving into messy thrash alongside traces
of very early black metal, somewhat in the same league as early
Venom .
Yet their influence on later South American bands is undeniable,
and thus their place in metal history is secure.
