Who Are You? #1

February 13, 2008

This mystery arrived in my mailbox today. I thought the dude in middle with the nasty homemade codpiece might be “Evil Chuck” Schuldiner circa 1983, but no dice. Please comment first, then think later–this is a good one!

Obrigado, Javier!

    I’m voting Brazil. So, it’s either: a 7th grade Sepultura OR Holocausto at 6th grade Halloween Were Exciter patches easy to come by in Brasil in 1984?

    Exciter toured Brazil with Venom in 1986, so I’m sure their fan base was pretty dedicated in the preceding years.

    Definately Sepultura with Wagner ANTICHRIST who went on to form Sarcofago.

    Yep, L-R: Max Cavalera, Wagner Antichrist, and Lil’ Igor Cav. I could barely believe it myself, but Max’s tattoo is the tell-tale kicker. Here’s the awesome story from Soulflyweb.com:

    Max: “I don’t have a first tattoo anymore, it’s under this one, there’s was a dragon there. When I was young, i was only 14 when I got this, it was because a friend of mine got a tattoo and I really liked it, so I sold some of my albums to get this tattoo (laughs), I sold like 10 records to get the money for the tattoo.”
