SARCOFAGO - Hate LP (Dark Purple Vinyl)

When it comes to Sarcófago's Hate, the first thing that comes to people's minds are the drum machines used on the recording, instead of a real drummer. Drum machines are a particularly sensitive topic when it comes to metal music. Judas Priest had a very publicized and controversial experience with drum machines and was harshly condemned in the 80's for it's use on Turbo and Ram It Down, so the metal community always feels a little cautious when it comes to programmed/electronic drums.

To summarize the album's impression: it is one of the most violent and brutal records ever made by a Brazilian death metal band, and aside from the drumming machine controversy, it has the finest points of any extreme metal album. This record was a defining moment on Sarcófago's history, as the next album Worst is highly criticized and paved the way to Sarcófago's demise.
