Rotting

About

Rotting is an EP by the Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago. It was released in August 1989. Prior to recording, drummer Eduardo "D.D. Crazy" left the band to join Sextrash and was replaced by Manoel "M. Joker" Henrique. The EP was recorded following a brief tour to promote the band's debut release I.N.R.I. and was licensed to Music for Nations in Europe. The EP's cover was censored upon its release in the US. Later, the EP was seized by the authorities from European importers and distributor, once again because of its controversial cover, which depicts what appears to be a traditional grim reaper making out with Jesus Christ. The EP features a much more technical approach than the band's previous effort I.N.R.I.. Additionally, instead of a collection of relatively short song, the EP features four tracks over 6 minutes in length, the longest, "Tracy", nearly reaching the 9 minute mark. The EP doe, however, retain the death metal sound of I.N.R.I., featuring several tempo and riff changes in amongst odd song structure, with "Tracy" containing approximately 20 riff. The EP is also noticeably fast with the average tempo for each song being 260 beats per minute. .
