[1] Vulcano was launched in 1981 in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil by Zhema Paul Magrão and Carli Cooper.
Due to their early date of formation, Vulcano is regarded as one of the first bands in the Brazilian and Latin American extreme metal scene.
[3] The band's first record, Om Pushne Namah, was released in 1983, and is different from most early extreme metal in that the lyrics were sung in Portuguese, not English.
In this early period, it was very difficult to secure live performances, and the band had to produce their own shows, and promotion was limited to pasting up posters, but Vulcano persevered, and moved forward in 1984 to release the demo Devil on My Roof.
In this period of reflection the Vulcano still did some live shows, but the only official release from the band was a Cogumelo Records compilation from 2000 with a re-release of the song "Bloody Vengeance".
