Good Blood Headbanguers [sic] is the second studio album by fictional heavy metal band Massacration. "Good blood" is a literal translation to English of the Brazilian colloquial expression "sangue bom" (meaning a trustworthy person), while the intentional misspelling of "headbangers" is a reference to the fact that the digraph ge is written as gue in Portuguese.

Originally slated for a 2007 release,[1] after a series of delays due to label issues it eventually came out on October 10, 2009 through EMI;[2][3][4][5] its cover art was officially unveiled to the public three days prior alongside an outtake of their previous album Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death, "Anal Weapon War".[6] Produced by Roy Z, famous for his work with other bands and artists such as Bruce Dickinson, Judas Priest, Helloween, Halford and Sebastian Bach,[7][8] it sees the group heading towards a faster, more aggressive sonority influenced by thrash metal, but also experimenting with glam metal elements as seen in the power ballad "The Bull". Famous brega singer Falcão makes a guest appearance on the track "The Mummy", the album's leading single and for which a music video was made; former pornographic actors Fabiane Thompson [pt] and Kid Bengala [pt] appear in the music video for "The Bull". Two more music videos were made for "Hammercage Hotdog Hell" and "Sufocators of Metal".

Owing to their 2012–16 hiatus, Good Blood Headbanguers would ultimately be Massacration's final release with guitarist Fausto Fanti ("Blondie Hammett"), who committed suicide on July 30, 2014.[9] A follow-up, Metal Is My Life, came out in 2024.
