Sepultura – Roots (25th Anniversary) 5LP Box Set

Sepultura – Roots (25th Anniversary) 

Sepultura, which means “grave” in Portuguese, is a Brazilian heavy metal rock band from
Belo Horizonte. Founded in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band has been a
major force in the groove metal, thrash metal and death metal genres during the late 1980s
and early 1990s. Later in their career, their style drew on influences from alternative metal,
world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal. Sepultura is considered in the
second wave of thrash metal acts from the late 80s to mid-1990s along with bands like
Pantera, Testament, Sacred Reich, Dark Angel, Machine Head, Death Angel, and Forbidden.
The band has released 15 studio albums, with the latest being Quadra in 2020. Their most
successful records are Beneath The Remains (1989), Arise (1991), Chaos A.D.(1993) and
Roots (1996). They have sold over 3 million records in the U.S. and 20 million worldwide,
gaining multiple gold and platinum records around the globe, including in countries such
as France, Australia, Indonesia and their native Brazil. Roots is the band’s 6th studio
album and the band’s last to feature founding member and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Max
Cavalera. Following the shift to slower tempos and Latin-tinged rhythms on the album Chaos
A.D., Roots delves even further into Brazilian musical textures. Both in sound and overall
aesthetic, Roots is also a conscious nod to Brazil’s marginalized indigenous population
and cultures. The song “Itsári” features a Xavante chant that re-appears on the song “Born
Stubborn” and serves as a loose thematic thread for the whole album, which on the whole
showcases the band’s increased affinity for experimentation and collaboration. “Lookaway”
features guest appearances by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis, then-Korn drummer David
Silveria, House of Pain/Limp Bizkit turntablist DJ Lethal, and Faith No More/Mr. Bungle
vocalist Mike Patton. Since its release, Roots has sold over two million copies worldwide.
