Massacration is a fictional American heavy metal band created by Brazilian humorists and musicians Bruno Sutter (as vocalist Detonator), Fausto Fanti (as lead guitarist Blondie Hammett), Marco Antônio Alves (as bassist Metal Avenger), Adriano Silva (as rhythm guitarist Headmaster) and Felipe Torres (as drummer Jimmy the Hammer), all of them part of the comedy troupe Hermes & Renato. Self-described by the Portuguese-language epithet "a banda da galera" (roughly translated into English as "the people's band") and frequently compared to fellow semi-fictional act Spinal Tap, by whom they were heavily influenced, Massacration is known for their humorous lyrics (sung by Sutter in a distinctive, over-the-top falsetto and written in a mixture of a comically broken English and Portuguese) which poke fun, in a light-hearted and good-natured way, on clichés of the heavy metal subculture and the "metalhead/headbanger" stereotype, parodying both musically and aesthetically famous bands of the genre such as Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Judas Priest, Manowar, Sepultura and Angra, among others.
