7	'''Massacration''' is a parody HeavyMetal band from Brazil, proclaiming themselves "the greatest and most classic heavy metal band and the inspiration behind most metal bands since 1985, whose members' hairdos and posing influenced all heavy metal culture."
8
9	The band was created for the sketch comedy show ''Hermes e Renato'', but their sketches were successful enough to warrant two albums and an entire tour.

49	!!The band shows examples of
50	* AffectionateParody: Massacration were originally created by Brazilian comedy group ''Hermes & Renato'' to star in a music video making fun of HeavyMetal band conventions (such as Brazilian metal bands singing in English, or the emphasis on macabre imagery in lyrics and clips), but ended up becoming quite successful as a real HeavyMetal band, even though they're still spoofing the genre; they've even released albums and opened shows for serious bands, like Sepultura.
51	* AlbumIntroTrack: The aptly-named "Intro" in ''Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death'', a cake recipe [[LyricalDissonance communicated with a sinister voice as if Satan himself is doing a spell]].
52	* BadBadActing: "Away Doom" has a character (played by comedian Gil Brother [[EpunymousTitle Away]]) screaming for help as he's being murdered, despite the fact that it's sounding that he's dying... [[DieLaughing of laughter]].
53	* BeenThereShapedHistory: In an interview they claimed ''they'' were the ones who invented heavy metal, not Music/BlackSabbath: the story goes that Blondie Hammet and Tony Iommi worked at the same steel mill and, one day, Hammet forgot a mixtape containing some of his riffs at work. Iommi took the tape with him and recorded the riffs on Sabbath's first album, passing them off as his own. In retaliation, Hammet caused the accident where Iommi (or, as he called him, "that motherfucking mustachio") lost two of his fingertips.
54	* BigRockEnding: "Metal Bucetation", among other examples.
55	* BlackComedyRape: "The Mummy" is about an old emperor cursed by a sphinx after he raped her, awaking in the present era in order to rape anyone who is close to him. The video implies at the end that [[spoiler:he screwed the band members and guest vocalist Falcao]].
56	* BreakupSong: "The Bull" is about the narrator's woman being seduced by a long-haired (though in the video is bald), intelligent millionaire.
57	* CripplingCastration: Played for laughs. In several mock-up interviews, vocalist Detonator claims that he's a ''castrato'', which explains his high-pitch voice. According to him, he did it to himself "for the metal god".
58	* TheCameo:
59	** Falcão appears in "The Mummy" both singing in the song and in the video itself.
60	** Porn stars Kid Bengala and Fabiane Thompson feature in the video of "The Bull".
61	** Likewise, DJ Sabrina Boing Boing is featured in the video of "Metal Milf".
62	* TheComicallySerious: Detonator. Just the fact that he maintains a badass image while speaking in a comically high voice is funny enough, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP62kh_9kBQ behold]] as he keeps a straight face through a barrage of puns so lame that they wrap around into being funny!
63	* DepravedDentist: "Metal Dental Destruction" is about a crazy, alcoholic fake dentist who operates with no professional procedures at all who ends up pulling every teeth from the narrator's mouth.
64	* DoubleEntendre: Probably the most on-the-nose ever, in "Metal MILF":
65	--> ''"Feel my fire, suck my sword\
66	You're my metal MILF"''
67	* DrivenToSuicide: In the fictitious backstory, their first drummer, a tambourine man called Donald Polai, committed suicide after the band's first gig.
68	* FadeOut: "The God Master" uses both FadeIn and fade-out.
69	* FakeBand: The band originated at a sketch show. They are a downright stereotype of every heavy metal cliché in the book, from being dressed on denim and [[HellBentForLeather leather]] (they adopted a more HairMetal look later on) to singing in Engrish to being [[RockMeAsmodeus devil worshippers]] (the video for "Metal Bucetation" even has the devil chasing them around... only to ask for their autographs), but the joke made so much of a success among viewers, they have two albums out, which are pretty good, [[MST3KMantra as long as you don't take it all too seriously]]. Oh, and they also helped make heavy metal more popular among Brazilian teens, along with ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''. Think [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Dethklok]] mixed with [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap SpinalTap]], some black humor-laden slapstick and a blatantly overblown backstory.
70	* FoodSongsAreFunny: "Feel The Fire... From Barbecue", "Cereal Metal", "Hammercage Hotdog Hell", and, of course, [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds "Grand Pedido"]].
71	* GoodAnimalsEvilAnimals: Parodied in "Evil [[FowlMouthedParrot Papagali]]", about a parrot hailing from hell... who only wants crackers.
72	* GratuitousEnglish: Par for the course, but "Metal Milk Shake" deserves special mention for being nothing but this.
73	* GuestStarPartyMember: Among other live-only musicians that played with the band one can find names such as [[Music/{{Sepultura}} Igor]] [[Music/CavaleraConspiracy Cavalera]] (during the pre-''Gates...'' era, as "El Covero") and [[Music/{{Angra}} Ricardo]] [[Music/{{Shaman}} Confessori]] (in the reunion shows, as "El Perro Loco"). And then there's guest vocalist [[Music/RatosDePorao João Gordo]].
74	* HarshVocals: Detonator. The InUniverse explanation is that the God of Metal ordered him to cut off his nuts to make his voice more Metal - but he accidentally cut off his penis instead, so now he doesn't just sing high, he ''speaks'' high.
75	* HeavyMeta: "Metal is the Law", "Cereal Metal", "Let's Ride To The Metal Land (The Passage Is R$1,00)", "The Fire, The Steel, The Heavy, The Metal", "The Big Heavy Metal", "Good Blood Headbanguers" and "The Hymn of Metal Land".
76	* HiddenTrack: An electronic version of "Metal Massacre Attack (Arue Aruo)" is hidden after "Metal Bucetation" in ''Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death''.
77	* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Mixed with some gratuitous Brazilian Portuguese, to boot.
78	* IntercourseWithYou:
79	** "Metal [[ForeignCussWord Bucetation]]" is this as a call to arms.
80	--> ''"All the nation, stop the punhetation, decretado eu sou![[note]]Or "suck my sacred balls", no one can agree for sure on the last part[[/note]]\
81	All the nation, fuck the bucetation, Angel Saiah![[note]]there is not much consensus about this either[[/note]]"''
82	** "Metal Milf" is about fantasizing with an older female metalhead.
83	--> ''"You've got nothing to lose\
84	[[CrossesTheLineTwice 'cuz you'll die soon]]\
85	you are no spring chicken, baby!\
86	come into my room!"''
87	* LikesOlderWomen: "Metal MILF", natch.
88	* ListSong: "Metal Milkshake" and "Hammercage Hotdog Hell".
89	* LongestSongGoesLast: "Metal Bucetation" (6:21) closes ''Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death'', although the song itself ends just before the 4-minute mark (it's followed by a period of silence and a [[spoiler:remixed]] reprise of "Metal Massacre Attack").
90	* PoirotSpeak: At least 85% of the songs, especially in "Metal Is the Law" and "Metal Bucetation", which invoke the usage of ''embromation'', a Portuglish gag which uses a portmanteau of Portuguese words with the English suffix ''-ation''. The band's name itself is an example of this trope.[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke "Massacre" translates the same in both English and Portuguese, adding -ation to invoke broken English.]][[/note]]
91	* PostStressOvereating: In the fictitious backstory, after the death of Polai, both Detonator and Blondie Hammet became addict to pasta from a restaurant named "Massas Crezio", and ate so much of his food they wound up going 100 pounds overweight.
92	* ProductPlacement: "Grand Pedido" is, for all intents and purposes, a song written for a ''UsefulNotes/McDonalds'' ad.
93	* RecordProducer: ''Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death'' was produced by João Gordo, frontman of classic Brazilian punk rock band Ratos de Porão and a good friend of the group. ''Good Blood Headbanguers'' was produced by Roy Z, producer of Music/BruceDickinson and [[Music/JudasPriest Rob Halford]]'s solo albums, among others.
94	* RockMeAmadeus: "Metal Bucetation" has musical shoutouts to Music/{{Helloween}}'s "The Dark Ride".
95	* RockStarSong: "Massacration".
96	* ShoutOut:
97	** Fausto and his brother Franco's stage surnames reference [[Music/{{Metallica}} Kirk Hammett]].
98	** Headmaster's "real" name is said to be Klaus Bissonette, in reference to jazz drummer Greg Bissonette (who also played with Music/DavidLeeRoth), which is funny considering that Headmaster is a guitarist. More fitting is Jimmy "The Hammer", whose "true" name is Jimmy Lombardo, as in [[Music/{{Slayer}} Dave Lombardo]].
99	** The list of references on "Metal Milkshake":
100	--> ''"[[FightingGame Round one! Fight!]] [[DrivingGame Final lap! Start!]]\
101	Game over! ''Platform/{{Playstation}}''! ''Creator/{{Atari}}''!\
102	Playback! Ketchup! Brother! Away!\
103	Marshmallow! OK! ''Music/MichaelJackson''!\
104	[[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne McLaren]]! Bacon! {{Greatest hits\|Album}}! Fax modem!\
105	UsefulNotes/{{Internet}}! Puff! Metal! Tape deck!\
106	[[Series/BarneyAndFriends I love you]]! Pause! Stop! Michael Jackson!"''
107	** "Metal Dental Destruction" proclaims that anyone who falls into the titular DepravedDentist will end up looking like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiao_Macale Tião Macalé]].
108	** "Metal Glu-Glu" is a parody about Brazilian comedian and TV personality [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Mallandro Sérgio Mallandro]] as some kind of sex god. He even guest appears on the song!
109	** "The God Master" is another tribute to a Brazilian comedian, in this case, Costinha. The track consists of three of the lewd jokes he recorded in the 70s, played over metal riffs.
110	** The unlucky album which gets shot in the video of "Sufocators of Metal"? ''[[Music/KingCrimson In the Court of the Crimson King]]''.
111	** In "Massacration" the band proclaims themselves as friends of "George Bush" (though they don't specify if it's UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush or UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush; probably the latter) and that they made more goals than [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romario Romario]].
112	** "Metal Milf"'s final verses are the chorus of "Panela Velha", a song by sertanejo[[note]]rural Brazilian-style Main/CountryMusic[[/note]] singer Sérgio Reis, which similarly invokes the LikesOlderWomen trope.
113	* SpokenWordInMusic: "The God Master", accompanied with a repetitive background track to boot.
114	* StageNames: Everybody in the band, what with being a parody band.
115	* StartMyOwn: After the first disbandment, Detonator went on to create his solo band, called ''Detonator e As Musas do Metal'', an all-female group with him on vocals. Bruno Sutter himself also fronts ''Children of the Seven Keys'', his own ''Music/{{Helloween}}'' tribute band, having been the singer of a Music/{{Death}} tribute band even before Massacration, and he has also recorded a solo album with mostly original compositions.
116	* TakeThat: "Sufocators of Metal" is one towards people who loan albums and scratch them or don't return them at all, even going so far as to declare them [[NoTrueScotsman "not a headbenze"]].
117	* TitleOnlyChorus: "Good Blood Headbanguers", "Massacration", and, to a lesser extent, "Metal Is The Law".
118	* TitleTrack: "Good Blood Headbanguers".
119	* ToiletHumor: "Bad Defecation (The Bost Thunder)" is about taking a shit.
120	* VocalTagTeam:
121	** "The Mummy" has Detonator and guest vocalist Falçao taking turns at singing.
122	** The same goes for "The Bull", while Detonator sings most of the lines, Blondie Hammet also gets the chance to sing, mostly in the chorus.
123	* WordSaladLyrics: "Metal Milkshake".
124	* YouNoTakeCandle: It's easier to say which songs don't fall into this. As a proof, here are some lyrics from "Metal Massacre Attack (Arue Aruo)":
125	--> ''"Far away\
126	across the sea\
127	Master never grow\
128	Now the way\
129	Against the fear\
130	Master will is sure."''
