Unofficial discography:
- War Metal Live 86 by Sodomistic Rituals Productions (tape limited to 150 handnumbered copies)
In the beginning of their career, they had a Nazi imagery, though they only did that in order to shock people (much like Sepultura, Escola Alemã, and others...) Their style is somewhere between death, black and thrash, before such distinctions were drawn. Rodrigo Fuhrer did lead vocals from first demo until "Campo de Exterminio".
After their first album, Holocausto leaned towards a more technical thrash sound. In "Tozago as Deismno", they mixed heavy guitars, with industrial and doom influences, along with heavy experimentalism. Afterwards, they changed their name to PexbaA and started to play avantgarde jazz / rock.
Holocausto disbanded in 1994, but reformed in 2004.

Ну почему етим бразильцам в голову пришло такой авангард записать?
