Album Description:

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band that was formed in 1984 by the Cavalera brothers, Max and Igor. One of their early releases was the album "Morbid Visions," which was released in 1984 on Shark Records. The album is a classic example of extreme metal, and it helped to establish Sepultura as one of the most important metal bands of the 1980s.

Sepultura was formed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1984 by Max and Igor Cavalera. The band's name comes from the Portuguese word for "grave." The Cavalera brothers were joined by guitarist Jairo Guedz and bassist Paulo Jr. The band's early music was heavily influenced by bands like Venom, Slayer, and Hellhammer. Sepultura quickly gained a reputation as one of the most extreme metal bands in Brazil.

In 1985, Sepultura released their debut album, "Bestial Devastation," which was a split album with another Brazilian band called Overdose. The album was released on Cogumelo Records, a Brazilian label that specialized in metal music. "Bestial Devastation" helped to establish Sepultura as one of the most important metal bands in Brazil.

In 1986, Sepultura signed a deal with Shark Records, a German label that specialized in metal music. The band then began work on their second album, "Morbid Visions." The album was recorded at J.G. Studios in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and was produced by Sepultura and Harris Johns.

"Morbid Visions" was recorded on a tight budget, and the band members had to borrow equipment from friends to complete the recording. The album's sound was raw and unpolished, and it reflected the band's influences from the extreme metal scene.

"Morbid Visions" was a groundbreaking album that helped to establish Sepultura as one of the most important metal bands of the 1980s. The album's raw and unpolished sound was a departure from the more polished sound of many metal bands at the time.

The album's impact on the metal scene was immediate and profound. It influenced countless bands in the extreme metal scene, and it helped to popularize Brazilian metal around the world. "Morbid Visions" was a seminal album that helped to shape the direction of extreme metal for years to come.
