A two-member war machine built around Aubert Mutilator on vocals and programming and Iscariot Destructor on guitars and bass, Mutilação Anticristã traffics in raw, lo-fi black/death metal with an uncompromising anti-Christian and satanic worldview. The duo released "Metal Negro Anticristo" in 2012 and followed it with the even more abrasive "Noite de Sexo Bestial e Profano" in 2014, both recorded in the Sergipe underground without concession to polish or accessibility.
