Massacration

MTV Brasil and Hermes & Renato produced a short, 10-minute mockumentary showcasing the band's fictional backstory in 2005 to promote the release of their then-upcoming debut Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death.{{cite web|url=https://whiplash.net/materias/news_756/299592-massacration.html|title=Bruno Sutter: a origem do Massacration e do Hermes & Renato|work=Whiplash.net|author=Lucas Steinmetz Moita|date=April 2, 2019|access-date=March 22, 2021|language=Portuguese}}{{Cite web|title=Rockstória do Massacration|website=YouTube|date=May 15, 2009|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCefQr2xGLc|access-date=July 8, 2024}} Massacration's origins trace back to 1979 (in a nod to the same year when Spinal Tap was formed) in the United States, when petty criminal and talented guitarist John "Blondie" Hammett (played by Fausto Fanti), after being arrested for the sixth time, became cellmates with quail smuggler and castrato singer David "Detonator" Sutter (played by Bruno Sutter); united by their mutual tastes on rock and heavy metal music, they soon developed a very strong friendship. Having renounced crime following their release from prison, the duo got acquainted with up-and-coming tambourine player Donald Polai (played by Lecuk Ishida, a producer for MTV at the time who occasionally made one-time appearances for Hermes & Renato's sketches) and they decided to form a band, Death Mania; the trio performed their first gig at a bar south of Phoenix, Arizona, but Death Mania only lasted for a day as Polai soon after committed suicide, apparently influenced by the group's "ominous" name.

Crestfallen over the death of their friend, Detonator and Hammett sunk into a deep depression; they eventually became regular customers of popular Italian restaurant Massas Crézio (or "Crézio's Pasta"), where they would constantly binge-eat to the point of growing morbidly obese. Touched by their situation, the restaurant's owner, Italian Brazilian immigrant Crézio, intervened and conceded them a rent-free room at his house where they could live and rehearse until recovering their spirits, and so they overcame their depression and lost all the extra weight they had gained. Motivated to start anew and form another group, they put an ad in a local newspaper looking for personnel; coincidentally, the spots were filled by Crézio's employees Jimmy "The Hammer" Lombardo (played by Felipe Torres), Klaus "Headmaster" Bissonette (played by Adriano Silva) and Rick "Metal Avenger" Banday (played by Marco Antônio Alves). As a homage to Crézio and his restaurant the band was initially christened Massascrézio, but as time went by the name was changed to Massacrézio, Massacrétion and, finally, Massacration.

Shortly after their very first show, Massacration was approached by world-renowned record producer Dick Dornelle (played by then-Hermes & Renato member Gil Brother), who had previously worked with bands and artists such as Queen, Iron Maiden and Michael Jackson. They then signed to his label Shusi Records and spent the following two months (due to the song's "high level of complexity") at a studio in North Carolina to record their first single, "Metal Massacre Attack (Aruê Aruô)", which was a critical and commercial hit, debuting at number one on Billboard Hot 100 – anachronistically in front of contemporary names like Usher, Maroon 5 and Gavin DeGraw – and awarding them a "Gremlin Award". However, success quickly went to Detonator's head and he began squandering the band's fortune on frivolities and inhalants (to which he became strongly addicted), what led to a deterioration of the relations between him and his colleagues. Following a racist joke made by a heavily intoxicated Detonator during a benefit concert in Somalia, the remaining members of Massacration expelled him from the band and returned to their former jobs at Crézio's restaurant, effectively ending the group's activities.

Many years later, Detonator, now a homeless beggar living in obscurity, ran into Hammett by chance; instantly recognizing themselves, they settled their differences and decided to reunite Massacration, recording the singles "Metal Bucetation" and "Metal Milkshake", the latter of which selling over 12 billion copies and awarding them both a "Sixfold Diamond" certification by the RIAA and the elusive "Nobel Prize in Music", which had only been previously given to Mozart, Beethoven and Frank Sinatra. Pleased by their massive success, the "God of Metal" decided to adopt Detonator as his legitimate son, and created for him and his bandmates the paradise of "Metal Land", where they continued to live since.

Amidst Massacration's 2012–16 hiatus, Bruno Sutter gave an interview to newspaper Folha de S.Paulo in-character as Detonator in 2014, explaining that, emboldened by the success of the TV series The Walking Dead, zombies invaded Metal Land and he was forced to escape (in an allusion to the plot of his then-recently released rock opera Metal Folclore: The Zoeira Never Ends...); he and his bandmates were separated, and Blondie Hammett was unfortunately killed during the zombies' raid.{{cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/ilustrada/2014/11/1546355-detonator-lanca-album-solo-e-diz-que-massacration-foi-engolido-por-zumbis.shtml|title=Detonator lança álbum solo e diz que Massacration foi 'engolido por zumbis'|author=Thiago Rahal Mauro|work=Folha de S.Paulo|date=November 11, 2014|access-date=February 11, 2021|language=Portuguese}} When they reunited safely, in 2016, Blondie was replaced by his long-lost brother Red Head Hammett so that they could continue performing.

Even though the band's first televised appearance dates from 2002, it would not be until 2004 when they released their first actual song, accompanied by a music video, "Metal Massacre Attack (Aruê Aruô)"; the success of the music video prompted them to produce more, for the songs "Metal Bucetation" and "Metal Milkshake", and soon after they began performing their first shows, accompanied by then-Sepultura drummer Igor Cavalera (under the pseudonym "El Covero") as a live musician.{{cite web|url=https://www.wikimetal.com.br/iggor-cavalera-baterista-massacration-temos-odio-metaleiros-idiotas/|title=Quando Iggor Cavalera foi baterista do Massacration: 'Temos ódio dos metaleiros idiotas'|author=Larissa Catharine Oliveira|work=Wikimetal|date=June 24, 2021|access-date=November 6, 2021|language=Portuguese}}

In 2012, coinciding with Bruno Sutter's departure from Hermes & Renato (then called "Banana Mecânica"), he put Massacration on hold, explaining that "one shouldn't keep on repeating the same joke".{{cite web|url=https://www.virgula.com.br/musica/detonator-fala-sobre-saci-perere-alexandre-frota-e-de-sua-nova-transformacao-o-detonathor/|title=Detonator fala sobre Saci Pererê, Alexandre Frota e de sua nova transformação: o DetonaThor|author=Itaici Brunetti|work=Vírgula|date=April 16, 2015|access-date=December 26, 2020|language=Portuguese}} At the time, fans speculated that Sutter's decision of leaving the troupe was influenced by his then-girlfriend (and future fiancée) Nyvi Estephan, who received the pejorative nickname of "Yoko Ono" amongst them.{{cite web|url=https://extra.globo.com/famosos/reporter-do-bbb-20-nyvi-estephan-foi-noiva-de-humorista-de-hermes-renato-24197580.html|title=Repórter do BBB 20, Nyvi Estephan foi noiva de humorista de Hermes & Renato|work=Extra|date=January 17, 2020|access-date=December 5, 2020|language=Portuguese}} Expressing his desire to focus on a more "female-centric" project, he founded in 2013 a new band based around his "Detonator" character, Detonator e as Musas do Metal, of which he is the sole male member;{{cite web|url=https://musica.uol.com.br/noticias/redacao/2013/07/10/filho-do-deus-metal-detonator-come-morcego-e-fala-sobre-novo-cd.htm|title='Filho do Deus Metal', Detonator come morcego e fala sobre novo CD|work=UOL|date=July 10, 2013|access-date=December 26, 2020|language=Portuguese}}{{cite web|url=https://blogs.oglobo.globo.com/ultimatum/post/apoteose-gloria-de-detonator-505485.html|title=Apoteose e glória de Detonator|author=Sílvio Essinger|work=O Globo|date=August 1, 2013|access-date=December 5, 2020|language=Portuguese|url-access=subscription}} their debut album, the rock opera Metal Folclore: The Zoeira Never Ends..., came out the following year.
