The Worst is the fourth and final studio album by the Brazilian extreme metal band Sarcófago. Wagner Lamounier and Gerald Minelli view this record as a "summation" of the band's career.[1]
The Worst is notable for not only having a more death metal-oriented sound than the band's earlier works, but also containing traces of the then-popular genre of groove metal. The music is also slower than that on the band's previous album Hate and features a more prominent use of programmed drums.
The album cover features a photograph of Said Augusto, a close friend of the band.
