Massacration is a brazilian humorous heavy metal band, the self-proclaimed "greatest and most classic heavy metal band, the inspiration behind most heavy bands since 1985, whose members' hairdos and posing influenced the whole heavy metal culture". The classical line-up consists of Detonator (a castratto vocalist, Bruno Sutter), Blond Hammet (lead guitar, Fausto Fanti), Jimmy "The Hammer" (drums, Felipe Torres), Headmaster (rhythm guitar, Adriano Pereira) and Metal Avenger (bass, Marco Antônio Silva).

History

Origin

According to a mockumentary shown in MTV in December 2004, the band began when a young delinquent called John Hammet was directed by the sixth time to a unit for infractors. There, Hammet played guitar as his only hobby, thus calling the attention David Sutter, committed for trafficking quails. They had become very close friends. After being released from detention, they approached Donald Polai and formed a band called Death Mania. Unfortunately, the band lasted nothing but a couple of minutes after their first gig when Polai, influenced by the name, committed suicide.

Hammet and Sutter then went on to work in a pasta restaurant, named "Massas Crezio" (Crezio's Pasta). In order to return to musical career, they decided to put an ad in a local newspaper looking for a drummer, a rhythm guitarist and a bassist. The three candidates who filled these spots were, respectively, Jimmy "The Hammer" Lombardo, Rick Banday and Klaus Bisonnette. The band was formed again. In homage to Crezio, the owner of the ristorante where Hammet and Sutter worked, the band was rebaptized as MASSASCREZIO. The name later on suffered a series of mutations: MASSACREZIO, MASSACRETION, and finally MASSACRATION .

Since then, the band had achieved sixfold diamond records with their hit single "Metal Milk Shake", that sold 12 billion copies. After that, they were heralded with the Nobel Prize of Music. Nobel Prize medal. ...

Biography

The band was idealized by and composed of members of the Brazilian comedy act Hermes & Renato that aired on MTV in 2002, in a trash horror movie-like segment that showed a youngster who bought a Massacration record and, by playing it backwards, triggered a curse that, ultimately, turned back against him. [1] After this segment, followed an "exclusive interview" with the five band members and then, the video premiere for "Metal Massacre Attack". In these segments, the name of the band did not have the present spelling: it read "Masacretion" on the record cover, and "Massacrassion" from the interview sketch up to the video itself.

Massacration

After the making of the song (and video) "Metal Massacre Attack", the video began airing not only on the Hermes e Renato comedy show, but also on the MTV regular rotation videos. The promo video was such a success that the crew was forced to make more songs and videos. "Metal Bucetation" followed "Metal Massacre Attack". Image File history File links Massacration. ...

In 2005 they finally finished their first album, Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death, produced by João Gordo, lead singer of Ratos de Porão, a reputed hardcore punk Brazilian band. The first single was Metal is the Law. Year 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

They have been requested to perform live their songs, and have so far appeared in the Abril Pro Rock Festival and Brasil Metal Union (the latter an all-heavy metal festival). Most of the humour effect of the band relies on its use of a fake English (mocking the fact that many Brazilians prefer foreign music despite being unable to understand it), exaggerate posing, outrageous clothes and gear. The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...

The success they achieved was so high, they even have their own MTV show, where only heavy metal videos are broadcasted (which, to some, is surprising, considering the pop-oriented nature of MTV).

It is rumored that their tour drummer is Igor Cavalera, former member of Sepultura. Massacration actually opened some venues for Sepultura during the course of 2005, and Cavalera actually played with them in some venues, under the alias "El Covero" (Spanish for the gravedigger).

Style

Massacration chiefly satirises Manowar, Angra, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, with minor references to Sepultura, Saxon, Black Sabbath and Viking Metal in general. Their main targets are the Brazilian heavy metal fans who can't speak English but still love the genre, the Brazilian groups who sing in (often broken) English (like Angra, Dr Sin, Sepultura, Viper and others) and the heavy metal culture in general, with its leather jackets, black clothes, long hair and frowns. The very fact that the Brazilian headbangers laughed at their jokes and even embraced their music is both an evidence that the Brazilians are good-hearted and that too many Brazilian headbangers are really clueless. Manowar is an American heavy metal band from Auburn, New York, which formed in 1980. ... Angra may mean: Angra (Azores) or Angra do Heroísmo, a district in the Azores Angra (band), a Brazilian heavy metal band Angra dos Reis, a town in Brazil Angra Nuclear Power Plant in Brazil This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists pages that might otherwise share... Judas Priest are an English heavy metal band formed in 1970 in Birmingham. ... Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from east London. ... Sepultura is a Brazilian thrash metal band, formed in 1984. ... Saxon are a British heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Barnsley, Yorkshire. ... For other uses, see Black Sabbath (disambiguation). ... Viking metal is a cross-genre reference usually used to describe the lyrical and thematic elements of bands rather than the music itself. ...

Regarding their lyrics, they are intentionally written in a very broken English (which may be unintelligible in a native speaker's ears) mixed with embromation (macaronic words formed by the adition of typical English suffixes like -ation, -atic, -ful, -ness and others to Portuguese roots. Sometimes entire sentences or stanzas can be in Portuguese -- and not gibberish, unlike some foreigners believe. For istance, the introduction of Metal is the Law includes the lines: ai, ai, ai, ai,/ em cima, embaixo/e puxa e vai, which would translate to ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh/above, below/pull and go.

The overall image of the band, their subjects and the recurrent terminology suggest a heavy influence of Manowar -- a band that, in Brazil, even headbangers consider ridiculous. However, while most of their songs have names that suggest violence, death, sorrow and sacrilege, they are actually always light-hearted, humorous and naïve, pointing to a joyride lifestyle instead of the gloomy atmosphere of actual heavy metal records. Manowar is an American heavy metal band from Auburn, New York, which formed in 1980. ...

Brazilian critics have remarked that while they don't sound much better or much worse than the bands they mock, the very fact that they are at par with them suggests that there must be something very wrong in the heavy metal world.^{[citation needed]}

"Trivia"

Jimmy "The Hammer", Blondie Hammet, Detonator, Headmaster And Metal Avenger

• The Manowar song "Kill With Power" was written by Massacration at Eric Adams' request. Later on, Manowar insert some "little fag solos" (according to Detonator) and began to play it as if it were their own song, including it in their third studio album, Hail to England.

• It was once mentioned in their half-hour heavy metal show Total Massacration that the introduction to Yngwie Malmsteen's song "I'll See the Light Tonight", off his third album Marching Out, was ripped off from the intro to Massacration's "Metal Massacre Attack".

• Because of their incredible sales, Massacration have a Triple-Radioactive-Plutonium Disc.

• Their motto is: “DEATH TO ALL THOSE WHO PLAYS FALSE METAL”.

• Detonator let his hair grow since he was nine years old because, according to him, his father doctrined him in the ways of metal. Blondie Hammet and Headmaster admittedly wear wigs. Metal Avenger has naturally long hair but never washes it and Jimmy "The Hammer"' hair is taken care of by his boyfriend.
  In the same interview for Verão MTV Detonator said that he is the last castrati, method which they cut off the testiscles in order to have a "metal style" voice, he also, said that André Matos is also castratti.

• Many of the members' names refer to real-life heavy rock musicians: John Hammett (and also his stage name, Blondie Hammett) is a reference to Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett; Jimmy "The Hammer" Lombardo refers to Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo; Klaus Bisonnette (Metal Avenger's "real" name) refers to Greg Bissonette, who played with David Lee Roth (though Greg is actually a drummer). David Sutter (Detonator's "real" name), though, refers instead to the actor who portrays him, Bruno Sutter.
