Continuing with Extreme-Metal's monthly section for music, here is May's feature:
SARCOFAGO (Black/Thrash/Death Metal)
Formed in 1985 in Belo Horizonte, (Minas Gerais), Brazil
Sarcófago was an influential Brazilian extreme metal band. They were fronted by Sepultura's original singer, Wagner Lamounier, and Geraldo Minelli.
The front cover of the band's debut album, I.N.R.I., is regarded as a great influence on black metal's corpse paint style make-up. That record is also considered one of the "first wave" albums that helped shape the genre. Their second LP, The Laws of Scourge, was one of the first technical death metal records to be released.
The band broke up in 2000, after releasing the Crust EP. Former members, minus Wagner, played throughout Brazil in 2006 under the moniker Tributo ao Sarcófago (Tribute to Sarcófago). In 2009, rumors surfaced that the original I.N.R.I. line-up were reuniting for a small, high-profile tour, but proved to be false. A reissue of their back catalogue is in the works, a joint effort between Cogumelo Records and American label Greydaze.

Legendary influential hardcore
March's feature for extreme music from around the world:
SIEGE -Hardcore Punk/Early Grindcore from Weymouth, Massachusetts, USA
[formed in 1981]
Kurt Habelt, Henry McNamee, and Rob Williams formed what was to become Siege around 1981. The three youngsters from Weymouth, Massachusetts had been playing music together since 7th grade or so. The band didn't really solidify until they recruited ska band saxophonist Kevin Mahoney on vocals in 1983. Although Mahoney was from Braintree, Massachusetts (near Boston and home also to Jerry's Kids and Gang
California Oldschool Grind
February's feature for extreme music from around the world:
PHOBIA -Grindcore from Orange county, california, USA
[formed in 1990]
Before I start you should know that I am a bit biased when it comes to Phobia, I love everything I have ever heard by them and consider them an essential listen for any lover of extreme music.
Anyhow, Phobia! This is their earliest release that I have heard and if you have only heard their stuff from say Cruel and onwards it's possible you could be turned off by the fuzziness of the guitars, some say it make
The most cursed Experimental Black Metal?
January's feature for extreme music from around the world:
STALAGGH -Experimental/Noise/Black Metal from Amsterdam, Netherlands
[formed in 2000]
Stalaggh were a black metal/experimental noise group who took their name from the German word "Stalag" which was a WWII concentration camp. The extra G and H stands for "Global Holocaust". In an anonymous interview, the collective claimed that the real names and faces of the members involved will never be revealed and they will never perform live. A special hallmark of the recordin
Blackened War Death Metal
December's feature for extreme music from around the world:
TEITANBLOOD -Blackened Deathmetal from Madrid, Spain
[formed in 2003]
Dissected and analyzed, it would be easy to mistake Teitanblood for a simple mash-up of black and death metal influences. What sets them apart is the awe-inspiring manner in which they weave it all together, shrouding the ensuing cacophony in a impenetrable mantle of malignant atmosphere. The production is characteristically grimy, sounding like it was recorded in the bowels
