Biography

Mutilator was one of the most representative bands of the Brazilian Heavy Metal scene in the 80's and 90's. The band released only two LPs, but these two albums are still considered true references for all who listen to heavy music in the world.
The band started out in 1985, using the name Desaster. When Sílvio SDN came in, they renamed the band as Mutilator. The first demo was recorded, and it took them to the Warfare Noise I compilation, released in 1986, which also featured the bands Chakal, Sarcófago and Holocausto. This was a very important compilation for the promotion of the Heavy Metal scene of the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte city), who had already yielded such bands as Sepultura and Overdose.

In 1987, Sílvio SDN left the band. The band then recorded its first LP, "Immortal Force", in which they produced a vigorous Death/Thrash Metal, deeply influenced by Slayer, Possessed and Bathory. A very fast "blast-beat" drumming and fast guitar riffing gave Mutilator a special place in the diverse brazilian scene. And also showed the world its fury.
In 1988, the band recorded the LP "Into The Strange", with a different line-up, which headed towards the Thrash Metal style. Most worked songs, unplugged moments and two instrumental tracks. Now the band was infinitely superior than a lot of other bands around the world.
The band split-up in 1989 or 1990, because of the departure of Magoo, the main compositor. Magoo formed a new band, called Chemako, with other influences beyond rock and metal.
Magoo died in 1997. Before this tragedy, Mutilator was trying to reunite. His death killed Mutilator too, and "killed" a lot of fans around the world.
