Sepultura. The name alone conjures images of tribal rhythms colliding with the raw brutality of metal, a sonic tapestry woven from the depths of Brazilian socio-political unrest. Emerging from Belo Horizonte in the mid-1980s, the Cavalera brothers, Max and Igor, forged a sound that defied easy categorization, initially rooted in death and thrash metal but quickly evolving to incorporate elements of hardcore punk, tribal percussion, and indigenous instrumentation. Albums like "Beneath the Remains" and "Arise" established them as titans of the burgeoning death metal scene, while "Chaos A.D." marked a daring stylistic shift, introducing groove-laden riffs and socio-political commentary that resonated globally. The band's cultural impact is undeniable, their music serving as a powerful voice for marginalized communities and a scathing critique of political corruption. The addition of Andreas Kisser’s intricate guitar work and Paulo Jr.’s solid basslines cemented the band's signature sound. Following Max Cavalera's departure in 1996, Sepultura persevered with Derrick Green on vocals, continuing to explore new sonic territories and maintain a relentless touring schedule. Notable collaborations include work with artists like Mike Patton and Carlinhos Brown, further expanding their artistic horizons. Still relentlessly innovative, Sepultura continues to push boundaries, evidenced by their recent albums which showcase a renewed intensity and commitment to their original vision.
