Die!

Endless war, endless screams
In the boundaries of Hell we live
Total death, total hate
On the devastated plains we fight
Evil minds, insane minds
Mutilated corpses over the ground
Soldiers of Hell, soldiers of death
Seeking victims to exterminate

Black death, black night
Where the spirits leave their crypts
Torture souls, drifting souls
By the world of hate
Multi-radiation, multi-death
Destroys and kills
Even in the deep of Hell
Fallen corpse, fallen angel
Total injury is the only rule

Mayhem

Death, slaughter, death rules
Under the sign of fear we live
Bestial lust, bestial rites
Darkness send its bestial warriors
Shrill cries, tormenting cries
Break the silence of the dark night
Living with hate, living with death
Giving the world total destruction

Bloody world, rotting world
Corrosion of insane human mind
Black pest, devastating pest
Under the evoking circle we pray
Baptized skulls, evil skulls
People screaming, chained underground

Mayhem

Sepultura

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte. Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a major force in the death metal, thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal.

The first Sepultura show was on December 4th, 1984. The band played two songs that never were re-recorded or released.

The band name comes from a Portuguese translation of Motörhead’s song “Dancing on Your Grave” which is “Dançando na sua Sepultura”. Sepultura means “grave” (sepulchre) in Portuguese (and in some other Latin-based languages). Originally, they wanted to call the band Tropa de Choque (Shock Troops), but found that the name had been used before.
