Screeches From The Silence in a classic and official music video by the iconic band from Belo Horizonte Sarcófago, one of the most important ones in Brazilian — if not worldwide — metal.
The video — circulating in typical VHS quality and likely captured from MTV broadcasts in the ’90s — carries not only the song itself but also that ’90s nostalgia, when pretty much only a few TV shows played good music, and even then, you had to dig through a lot of cheesy stuff or poseur crap to find the gems.
Composed of dark settings and the trademark energy of a live performance, the clip also stands as a historical record of the band’s trajectory, led by the master of heteroscedasticity Wagner Lamounier (former Sepultura), who helped shape the foundations of black and death metal in Brazil and around the world.
The track Screeches From The Silence is part of the album The Laws of Scourge (1991), which leans more toward thrash than their earlier releases — but in my opinion, it never went really far away from the band’s essence.
If you are a false, don’t listen!
Lyrics
The sunshine of dawn will born
Rain falls at the end of the night
Wetting your face, your soul
Speed is your way of lifeSoon you’ll meet your face
Reflected on the wet asphalt
The red of your blood, your blood!
The lights end everywhere
You feel your soul burning in pain
Now you see the face of death
Calling you for a silent kiss[Chorus]
Something strange being inside of me
Am I awakening to a new life?
I can’t stand this agony
Somebody please hear my screeches
From the silenceSlowly discovering you’re alone
Fighting to escape from reality
Bleeding, your body starts to rot
Awakening in a curse of agonysomething strange compressing you mind
(Your) pain, slowly turns into despair
A despair of a spirit leaving his corpse
Be welcome to your fate![Chorus]
