A music video for "Saci" premiered in advance on October 31, 2013, coinciding with the Brazilian holiday of Dia do Saci. "Metal Folclore" was critically acclaimed, being praised for its humorous plot and array of guest appearances; in the subsequent  years following its release, Detonator e as Musas do Metal was chosen by readers of website Whiplash.net the second best band of 2015. In a brief period of two months since its release date, the album sold over 1.7 copies. Plot. Detonator is forced to flee from his home at "Metal Land" after it is entirely ravaged by zombies, subsequently shipwrecking in the shores of Brazil, where he is rescued by two fishermen. He then decides to turn Brazil into a second Metal Land, and summons creatures of Brazilian folklore (and Saquito, a testicle-shaped mascot used by a Minas  Gerais-based cancer association who acquired infamy after becoming an Internet meme in 2013) to his aid. Despite accomplishing his mission, he eventually stumbles across Gemini Saga, angering him; in retaliation, Saga beats him up relentlessly. Furious, Detonator promises to get his revenge on the "next album".
