Morbid Visions
''Morbid Visions'' is the debut studio album by Brazilian metal band Sepultura, released on November 10, 1986, by Cogumelo Records. While later albums have a more political edge, ''Morbid Visions'' (along with the 1985 EP '' Bestial Devastation'') is notable for Satanic themes and imagery.

The production quality of the album is rather poor. In the liner notes of Roadrunner's reissue of the album (which includes the tracks from ''Bestial Devastation''), Cavalera admits that the band neglected to tune their guitars during the recording.

All pre-1992 releases of ''Morbid Visions'' featured the first movement of Carl Orff's ''Carmina Burana'' ("O Fortuna") as an unnamed introduction. This ...
