SARCOFAGO – Steelfest Friday 17/5 2025 [Day 3]
The Laws Kill Destroy with Gerardo Incubus Minelli
“As stated by Gerald Minelli Sarcófago was born from the ashes of a previous band called Pained, in which himself, DD Crazy and Zéder “Butcher” played. It is unclear if Pained actually changed its name into Sarcófago. Wagner Antichrist joined in March 1985, after leaving Sepultura.
In 2006 Minelli, Manoel Henriques, and Fábio Jhasko (joined by other guest musicians) started performing some live concerts as a Sarcófago tribute band. However, those concerts were NEVER intended to be considered a Sarcófago reunion, nor have any of the musicians involved claimed it to be so.
In 2025 Minelli started touring with a backing band performing tribute shows to Sarcófago.” – The Metal Archives

“Whoredom Rife was forged in silence during 2013 and 2014 in the outskirts of Nidaros, Norway. The band was founded by V. Einride and K.R in 2014, based on new ideas and ideas dating back as far as the early nineties. The idea behind the band is to breathe new life into the art form and lifestyle that we know as True Norwegian Black Metal.”
“Founded in 1998 in southern France by Kaiser, AD HOMINEM had one clear goal: to defy the stagnant standards of contemporary black metal. After two demos and four years of simmering rage, Planet Zog – The End (2002) erupted like a declaration of war, establishing AD HOMINEM as one of France’s most extreme black metal acts with its provocative lyrics and thrashy martial soundscapes.”
“IMPRECATION, originated in Houston, Texas in late 1991, was founded by Ruben Elizondo (percussionist) and Phil Westmoreland (guitarist). They recruited Dave Herrera (vocals), Mark Beecher (bass) and Victor Fernandez (guitarist). With this lineup, the band recorded their first demo CEREMONY OF THE NINE ANGLES in April 1992.”
“The band was formed in Athens, Greece, but later moved to Adelaide, Australia, then to Germany, and is currently residing back in Athens, Greece.
“German black metal act Baxaxaxa was formed in Niederwerrn, Bavaria in 1992. The demon after which the band was named didn’t help them much from the start, and Baxaxaxa was disbanded in the very same year after recording the Hellfire demo. And more than strange – Baxaxaxa was resurrected in 2017 by its original drummer Condemptor.”
