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.
The main inspiration for Massacration probably came from the movie Spinal Tap, which deals with the clichés of heavy metal music the same way Massacration does.
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 & 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/'Engrish' (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 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).
The Mummy
Massacration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
Down inside the pyramid of Cheops
There lies a king of a dynasty of fuck
He ate the esfinge's fiofó
Two thousand years without any fudation
Can you imagine the faraó's situation?
Now he wants revenge of bucetation
And he rises with a big pirocation
The Mummy wants to do a bacanal
The Mummy is very sensual
The Mummy loves heavy metal
The Mummy is going to fuck you now!
(guitar solo)
The Mummy wants to do a bacanal
The Mummy is very sensual
The Mummy loves heavy metal
The Mummy is going to fuck you now!!
The Mummy...
The Mummy...
The Mummy...
The Mummy...
The Mummy wants to do a bacanal
The Mummy is very sensual
The Mummy loves heavy metal
The Mummy is going to fuck you now!
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
Tumbalacatumba tumba tá
The lyrics to "The Mummy" by Massacration tell the story of a mummy who has risen from the dead in order to seek revenge for his unfortunate situation. The song starts by describing the mummy's origins, lying inside the pyramid of Cheops, a king of a dynasty of folly who had committed certain disrespectful acts towards the Sphinx. The mummy had been cursed with 2000 years of inactivity, without any foundation, and now, he desires retribution for the wrongs committed against him. The chorus emphasizes his intentions as the mummy wants to do a bacanal, which means to have wild, uninhibited fun.
The rest of the lyrics describe the mummy's character; how he is very sensual and loves heavy metal. He is seen as a force to be reckoned with, a menacing figure that is out seeking revenge. The guitar solo adds an element of heaviness and intensity to the song, further emphasizing the mummy's power. At the end of the song, the chorus is repeated again, encouraging the audience to feel the energy of the song and rock out.
Overall, the song is about letting go of inhibitions and having fun, exploring the wild and the unknown, which is embodied by the character of the mummy.
