Dica de CD: “Scream Bloody Gore” (1987) da banda americana de Death Metal “Death”


Trapped inside a life which is not yours. Spirits within causing terror, fear and darkness. Evil Dead. Evil Dead. Voice speaks out, all will die tonight. Insanity fills your mind, you hear them calling. Evil Dead. Evil Dead. Covered in blood, all hope is lost. Forever to rot, controlled by the powers of the Evil Dead. Evil Dead.” – “Evil Dead

Quando me perguntam qual o filme de horror número 1 do top 10 de minha preferência, cito sem pensar “The Evil Dead” (1982), de Sam Raimi e com Bruce Campbell. Se ficarmos pensando muito no assunto, encontraremos vários filmes que poderiam ocupar esse posto e a dúvida na escolha seria cruel. Portanto, a maneira mais fácil de responder a questão é simplesmente pensar rápido e disparar no alvo: “The Evil Dead”.
Se a mesma pergunta fosse feita com os CD´s de bandas de metal extremo, e adotando o mesmo procedimento utilizado na escolha dos filmes, minha resposta seria rápida e certeira: “Scream Bloody Gore”, da lendária banda americana de Death Metal “Death”, que não existe mais após a morte de Chuck Schuldiner em 2001, vítima de câncer.
O “Death” e seu líder e criador Schuldiner são parte integrante e fundamental da história do metal extremo mundial, com seu som agressivo e letras sangrentas, muitas delas inspiradas em filmes de horror. Confira alguns exemplos que ilustram esse texto.
Em 1987, “Scream Bloody Gore” foi lançado pela “Combat” nos Estados Unidos. A ilustração da capa é de autoria de Edward J. Repka, mostrando um grupo de esqueletos celebrando a morte.

Under command a newborn child. Submerged in blood, the dead they smile. Growing possessed, burning inside. A bloody feast for us tonight. The way of death. Is growing near, just take my hand. Skies grow black. Unholy corpses upon their land. The dead they gather around. Praising the child they found. Possessed, the child shall kill. The future is now revealed. Baptized in blood. Destined to burn. Baptized in blood. Reborn they´ll learn…” – “Baptized in Blood

Massacred, hacked to death, my revenge. Slicing deep, into your flesh, the pain intense. Dreams of hate, misery, fill my mind. Puke in your face in disgust, it´s time to die. You must die in pain. Mutilation…” – “Mutilation

Out to find the truth. Behind the myth of. Man eating man. Finding bodies tied. Up to a stake. You cannot understand. Filled with ignorance. You watch them eating your friends. Ask for evidence. A hook right through your tits. Torn to pieces. Trying to escape. They torture you by. Cutting off your cock. When you´re dead. They´ll feast upon your flesh. Your brains they´ll eat and chop. Pray if you want. Pathetic rancid cunt. Face reality. Death your final plea. Torn to pieces.” – “Torn to Pieces
