Sepultura’s trajectory
From Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Sepultura are the most successful Brazilian heavy metal – and rock in general – band in history. The group was founded in 1984 by brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera, still teenagers, with Paulo Jr. (bass) and Wagner Lamounier (guitar and vocals) in the original lineup.
In 1986, the band released Morbid visionsthe group’s first studio album and one of their first albums deadly metal of the world. Young, the members have already gained recognition in the underground scene.
But it was in the 1990s that Sepultura gained worldwide fame. In 1996, the group released its most successful and acclaimed album, Emblematic Roots – an album with influences of indigenous music and recordings of the Xavante tribe, with tribal percussion.
Tracks like “Roots Bloody Roots”, “Territory”, “Slave New World” and “Ratamahatta” are some of the biggest hits of the band, who released 15 studio albums between Death metal, thrash metal, groove metal and your own influences.
The group had several members, but its core lineup (considered “classic”) included guitarist Andreas Kisser and lasted about ten years. In December 1996, after Roots, Max Cavalera left the band. His brother Iggor remained in the group until 2006.
Currently, the vocals are performed by the American Derrick Green and the drums are performed by Eloy Casagrande. The Cavalera brothers have famously distanced themselves from the band a lot since they left. In 2016, a biographical documentary titled Severe resistance was launched using testimonials from members of famous bands, such as Metallica and Motörhead; however, Cavalera refused to participate.
Sepultura have considerable global influence. Famous groups such as Slipknot, System of a Down and even Björk have already listed the band among their references. In 2016, Sepultura appeared on the list of the main artists to discover Brazilian music, according to the New York Times.
The last studio album released by the group was To block, 2020.
