Sextrash was formed in mid-1987 by Sarcófago'sformer drummer, D. D. Crazy, with Oswald Scheid (vocals- RIP), Tomy Simmons (bass) and Damned Sentry (guitars).This line up yielded a heavy, aggressive and fast sound, and the band released the EP XXX under the French label Maggot Records. This EP reached fifth place in the play list of the English magazine Metal Forces.
In September 1990, Cogumelo Records released their first LP, Sexual Carnage. Its ten songs display their raw, heavy and unique style. This album has just been released in the CD format as part of the Cogumelo Remasters series. The CD includes the EP XXX as bonus tracks, as well as a version for Sarcófago’s Satanás. The album Sexual Carnage influenced many bands in Brazil and abroad, putting the band amongst the most radical in the death metal Brazilian scene.
In September 1992, they released their second LP, Funeral Serenade, recognized by its technical superiority. The lyrics are abusive and anti-moralist, mixing their ideas, visions and fantasies with the reality of the world in which we all live.
In live presentations, Sextrash proved itself as a true revelation of the Brazilian underground scene, adding to its rare and strong music a morbid atmosphere. The band broke up in 1997, after the tragic death of lead vocalist Oswald Scheid in a car crash.
A reunited version of Sextrash opened up for German thrash metal veterans Kreator in Belo Horizonte in April 2005 and they soon signed a new deal with Cogumelo Records.
