Black Legion Records proudly presents the 2025 remastered CD reissue of Sexual Carnage, the feral 1990 debut by South American deathrash legends SEXTRASH. This release is officially licensed from Junior Krueger and available in hand-numbered copies, staying true to its cult legacy. Tracks 12–14 are sourced from the rare XXX EP, adding extra filth to an already infamous classic.
One of Brazil’s most notorious and influential acts—alongside Sarcófago, Holocausto, Vulcano, and Dorsal Atlântica—Sextrash delivered a record that oozes cult appeal from every pore. From its unrelenting sound to its depraved artwork, Sexual Carnage is a cornerstone of underground extremity, now louder and filthier than ever in this definitive remastered edition.
Few albums embody pure chaos and depravity like SEXTRASH’s notorious debut, Sexual Carnage. Born out of the blasphemous Brazilian underground that also spawned the early works of Sarcófago and Vulcano, this record doesn’t just flirt with the extreme—it dives headfirst into a pit of filth and fury, grinning all the way.
From the moment “Intro (the End of the Intro)” lurches into the feral assault of “Seduced by Evil,” the listener is battered by manic drumming, sloppy-yet-razor-sharp riffing, and a vocal performance that sounds more like ritualistic possession than traditional growling. Behind the kit, D.D. Crazy unleashes unhinged speed and primal violence, while the late Pussy Ripper (R.I.P. 1997) delivers the venomous vocals and perverse lyrical visions—deliberately provocative, often absurd, and totally irredeemable.
What makes Sexual Carnage stand out isn’t just its extremity—it’s the raw charisma bleeding from every track. The production is muddy and abrasive, yet it adds to the underground charm. Guitars slash and stumble through chaotic solos, the bass rumbles like a dying engine, and the whole thing feels like it’s about to fall apart at any moment—but never does. It’s ugly, it’s loud, and it’s proud.
This is the kind of album that only Brazil could have birthed in the late ‘80s—savage, sexually perverse, and completely anti-commercial. It captures the sound of teenage blasphemers with no budget, no filter, and no desire to be accepted. In that sense, Sexual Carnage is more than an album; it’s a mission statement.
Essential for fans of early South American death/thrash chaos, and a testament to the beauty of extremity when taken to its illogical conclusion.
