In 1989, they changed their sound a little, going more in a direction of Bay Area thrash, and released the EP Pay For Your Lies, featuring a cover of Black Sabbath's "Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes".

During that period Korzus became a major metal band in Brazil; they even struck a friendship with their idol, Formula One racer Ayrton Senna.

A videoclip for the song "Agony" was made, and it received heavy air play on Furia Metal (a Brazilian version of MTV's Headbangers Ball).

After the departure of Beto Sileci and Marcello Nicastro, the band started to try an audience out of Brazil, due to the success of Sepultura.

This lineup recorded a live CD at the Brazilian edition of the Monsters of Rock festival in 1998 and in 2004 they released the album Ties Of Blood.
