Massacration is a self-proclaimed "greatest and most classic heavy metal band, the inspiration behind most heavy bands since 1985, whose members' hairdos and posing influenced the whole heavy metal culture". The classical line-up consists of Detonator (a castratto vocalist, Bruno Sutter), Blond Hammet (lead guitar, Fausto Fanti), Jimmy "The Hammer" (drums, Felipe Torres), Headmaster (rhythm guitar, Adriano Pereira) and Metal Avenger (bass, Marco Antônio Silva).
Massacration was created in the sketch comedy show Hermes & Renato along with other fake bands like samba school "Unidos do Caralho a Quatro" or the axé band "Coração Melão" (Melon Heart). But, like The Monkees, Massacration became a huge success, and a real band.

There, Hammet touched guitar as its only hobbie, thus calling the attention David Sutter , that it fulfilled penalty for traffic of codornas. The two had become the best friends. When set free of the detention, the two had joined it Donald Polai and had formed a band baptized of Death Craze . The band had shortness duration therefore minutes after the first show, Donald Polai, influenced for the name of the band, committed suicide.
Hammet and Sutter had started to work in a plant of masses, call “Crezio Masses” . In order to return to the musical career, they decide for announcing in the classified ones to the search of a drumist, a guitarist and a bassist, that they had come to be Rick Banday (Metal Avenger) in the Bass, Klaus Bisonnet (Headmaster) in the Rhythm Guitar and Jimmy Lombardo “The Hammer” in the Drums. The band was formed. In homage the Crezio, that it sponsored the band with ravioles and capeletes, the band was baptized of MASSASCREZIO , that later turned MASSACREZIO, that later turned MASSACRETION, and finally, MASSACRATION .
The band conquered six diamond records with the single Metal Milk Shake , that sold 12 billion copies. They had received, after that, Nobel of music.
[edit] Biography
The band was idealized by and composed of members of the Brazilian comedy act Hermes & Renato that aired on MTV circa 2002.
After the making of the song (and video) "Metal Massacre Attack", the video began airing not only on the Hermes e Renato comedy show, but also on the MTV regular rotation videos. The promo video was such a success that the crew was forced to make more songs and videos. "Metal Bucetation" followed "Metal Massacre Attack".
In 2005 they finally finished their first album, Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death, produced by João Gordo, lead singer of Ratos de Porão, a reputed hardcore punk Brazilian band. The first single was Metal is the Law.
They have been requested to perform live their songs, and have so far appeared in the Abril Pro Rock Festival and Brasil Metal Union (the latter an all-heavy metal festival). Most of the humour effect of the band relies on its use of a fake English (mocking the fact that many Brazilians prefer foreign music despite being unable to understand it), exaggerate posing, outrageous clothes and gear.
The success they achieved was so high, they even have their own MTV show, where only heavy metal videos are broadcasted (which, to some, is surprising, considering the pop-oriented nature of MTV).
It is rumored that their tour drummer is Igor Cavalera, former member of Sepultura. Massacration actually opened some venues for Sepultura during the course of 2005, and Cavalera actually played with them in some venues, under the alias "El Covero" (Spanish for the gravedigger).
Massacration debuted in 2006 in Rockgol, a Brazilian MTV show, in the Pirulândia team, along with Supla, Falamansa, Sonic Jr. and Lucas Santtana.

- The Manowar song "Kill With Power" was written by Massacration at Eric Adams' request. Later on, Manowar insert some "little fag solos" (according to Detonator) and began to play it as if it was their own song, including it in their third studio album, Hail to England.
