In Belo Horizonte , the scene had some of the most extreme bands , close to what became to be named as death metal . Bands such as Sepultura , Sarcófago and Mutilator continued further and were in some ways more extreme than the German thrash metal bands ; they were influenced by European extreme metal bands like Sodom and Hellhammer and had a very raw and primitive production , which " added to the atmosphere " according to their fans , while others would claim they " sounded ' worse ' than their European counterparts " . The band Sarcófago wore an early form of corpse paint and their first album '' I.N.R.I. '' " was huge among Norwegian black metalers " . Sarcófago , as well as Sepultura , were also important for a chaotic , non-Norwegian black metal style called war metal . The first prominent band of the scene were Overdose , a traditional heavy metal act that became increasingly progressive and more aggressive over time . Sepultura members used to borrow equipment from them , and were invited to take the B-side of Overdose 's debut record , which became the '' Século XX/Bestial Devastation '' split . Later on , Sepultura started to boycott Overdose and actively try to stop their success . Jairo " Tormentor " Guedz , the original guitarist of Sepultura , joined Overdose for a short period as a bass player . After disbanding , Cláudio David ( lead guitarist ) formed Elektra , and André " Zé Baleia " Márcio ( drummer ) formed Eminence . Jairo also played bass in Eminence . The active sabotage of Sepultura towards the other bands from the city made the scene slowly go to ostracism , since no one else could get successful
