They were pioneers of the Brazilian thrash metal scene, being acknowledged as an influence to many other bands including Sepultura[1][2] and Korzus.[citation needed]
The band's first work appears on the split album Ultimatum with another Rio de Janeiro-based band, Metalmorphosis, in 1984. Afterwards, Dorsal Atlântica released a string of studio albums from 1984 to 1996, before breaking up in 1997.
Most their lyrics were written in Portuguese. Only some of their work contains two versions (English/Portuguese), and only one album is fully in English.
The band was always led by guitarist/vocalist Carlos 'Vândalo' Lopes. He is now playing with a psychedelic/funk band called Mustang.
