All bands gotta start somewhere, and Sepultura, one of the more influential metal bands, started here with this EP. This is a LOW quality EP put out by a bunch of young teenage Brazilians who were translating their lyrics into English word for word.

The Curse. Ambient noise with someone, even the band claims to not remember who it was, belching. Well, that's what it sounds like. What is he saying? I havn't a clue.

The rest of the album is poor quality, straightforward, uninspiring death metal. Lots of tremolo picking,(from distant sounding noise that I assume is guitar) blast beats, raspy growls, and utterly chaotic guitar solos. The songs, Antichrist and Necromancer are actually not too bad.

OK, this is a very poor quality EP put out by a bunch of kids with little money. However, I do recommend it for fans/collectors since that is why I first listened to it. I wanted to hear the first ever release by the interesting Sepultura. As mentioned this is also one of the earliest death metal releases, and some of the earliest/most intense drumming I've heard.

For collectors/fans/metal historians
