While previous South American bands, such as Sepultura, Vulcano and Sarcófago had toyed with anti-Christian sentiment and Satanism, Holocausto used vivid descriptions of Nazi atrocities in the concentration camps, leading to accusations of antisemitism.
[1] The band have claimed that they were "only trying to expose the horrors of the Holocaust in all its gruesome detail" and "that the album's shocking and unflinching descriptions were simply meant to show their own revulsion to the events that had inspired their name".
[1][2] The band continued with numerous line-up changes, releasing a series of albums through Cogumelo Records, without capitalizing on their early notoriety.
1988's Blocked Minds and 1990's Negatives were thrash-oriented and stylistically similar to Voivod's music[citation needed], while 1993's Tozago as Deismno carried an industrial influence.
These albums proved a lack of success for the band, that has been ascribed to their line-up difficulties and their late adoption of English lyrics and the subject matter of their debut.
