Holocausto Releasing "War Metal Massacre"
Nuclear War Now! Productions has set March 1st the international release date for Holocausto's "War Metal Massacre."
It is extremely rare that a band is able to recapture a sound that it first established over 30 years ago but then lost in the process of its evolution on later recordings. With the original lineup from the mid-1980s, Holocausto was instrumental in the development of the unique strain of black metal that emerged from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil at that time.
Known as the original "deathcore" to the most seasoned veterans of that scene and those who have come to understand it from a historical perspective, this variety of metal shares nothing in common with what the term has come to more typically represent in the present day. Instead, it is the savage brand of black metal, primarily popularized by the infamous Sarcófago, which repeatedly pushes itself to the brink of total musical disintegration before somehow managing to resist its own self-annihilation.

"Warfare Noise" Vinyl Re-Issue Streaming
Greyhaze Records has officially released the vinyl LP reissue of "Warfare Noise," the seminal four-way split album featuring Brazilian extreme metal acts Sarcofago, Chakal, Holocausto, and Mutilator.
To celebrate the re-emergence of this beast, New Noise Magazine is hosting a stream of the album in its entirety. Check it out below. "Warfare Noise" is also now available for purchase at this location.
First released in 1986 via Brazilian metal label Cogumelo Records, the album's original masters had lost much of their audio prowess due to the long amount of time elapsed since its first release. This new album reissue, however, was carefully restored by mastering engineer Dave Eck and is, once again, available the same way as it was over two decades ago. The savage output of all four bands can be heard just as in the original version.
The packaging of this reissue was also carefully restored by graphic artist Fernando Lima and is now available as a faithful representation of the 1986 release. Aside from the insert, the packaging also includes a special poster with a depiction of the concert flier for the "Warfare Noise" release show which took place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1986 featuring all four bands.

Despite having been out of print for decades, the "Warfare Noise" compilation is one of the most important documents of early Brazilian metal. It features bands that have played an important role in the development of black and death Metal including important influence in bands such as Mayhem, Darkthrone, Blasphemy, and Beherit. The vinyl LP version features the original eight tracks from that album. The compilation is also one of the first albums ever released by Cogumelo Records, who was responsible for the first releases by metal giants Sepultura.
