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.
The band recorded a string of albums in the late eighties but
were done by 1990.
Fourteen years later, they reunited in tribute to their late
guitarist (Soto Jr., who died in 2001) and released
Tales From The Black Book.
