Sarcófago was a thrash metal/black metal band who formed in 1985, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, by Antichrist (vocals), Incubus (bass), Butcher (guitars) and D.D.Crazy (drums). Wagner "Antichrist" Lamounier, former vocalist, joined the band right after his departure from the well-known Brazilian thrash metal act Sepultura. There is no recorded registry of Sepultura featuring Antichrist on vocals, but the song "Antichrist" from the "Bestial Devastation" album is said to be about him.

The band's first appearence was on the Warfare Noise I compilation in 1986, together with Mutilator, Chakal and Holocausto.

Sarcófago were one of the pioneers of Black Metal and one of the most influential 80's Black Metal bands. They have been quoted as influences by such icons of Norwegian Black Metal as Euronymous (Mayhem) and Satyr (Satyricon)

The band split up in 2000.
