KORZUS: Footage From 25th-Anniversary Concert Available

December 26, 2008

Veteran Brazilian thrashers KORZUS played a special 25th-anniversary concert on December 5, 2008 at Blackmore Rock Bar in São Paulo, Brazil. Two separate video reports on the event have been filed by Brasil Heavy Metal and Showlivre.com (see below),both featuring performance footage and interview clips with members of the band.

Formed in 1983, KORZUS is one of the oldest and most important bands of the Brazilian thrash metal scene, along with groups like DORSAL ATLÂNTICA, SARCÓFAGO, SEPULTURA, GENOCIDIO and VULCANO. The band made its first vinyl appearance as part of the seminal metal compilation called "SP Metal" on the Baratos Afins label back in 1985. KORZUS went through numerous lineup changes over the years, with the group's three-member nucleus — Marcelo Pompeu (on vocals),Silvio Golfetti (on guitars) and Dick (on bass guitar) — remaining intact for much of this period.

KORZUS' classic lineup (1988 - 1992) consisted of Marcelo Pompeu (vocals),Silvio Golfetti (guitar),Marcelo Nicastro (guitar),Dick (bass) and Beto Silesci (drums, replacing Zema who committed suicide in 1988).

Golfetti temporarily played guitar for SEPULTURA on a European tour in December 1991 when Andreas Kisser was unable to perform due to an arm injury.
