Biography
Sepultura, a Brazilian heavyâmetal band formed in Beloâ¯Horizonte, Minas Gerais, by brothers Maxâ¯Cavalera (guitar, 1984â1996) and Igorâ¯Cavalera (drums, 1984â2006), began as a teenage trio in 1984 and released the raw EP Bestialâ¯Devastation in 1985, followed by Morbidâ¯Visions in 1986 on Cogumelo Records. The band signed with Roadrunner Records, issuing Schizophrenia (1987) and Beneath the Remains (1989), which established their reputation in the global thrash scene. The breakthrough came with Arise (1991) and Chaosâ¯A.D. (1993), the latter featuring the sociallyâcharged single "Dead Embryonic Cells". In 1996 the album Roots blended tribal percussion and sold over 1.2â¯million copies worldwide. Maxâ¯Cavalera departed the same year, and vocalist Derrickâ¯Green joined, leading to Against (1998), Nation (2001), and Rootsback (2003). Subsequent releases-Danteâ¯XXI (2006), AâLex (2009), Kairos (2011), The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart (2013), Machine Messiah (2017)-showed a shift toward groove and conceptual themes. Quadra (2020) and The Cloud of Unknowing EP (2026) continue the band's evolution. Notable tour highlights include headlining Rock in Rio (1991) and extensive worldwide campaigns under Roadrunner and Nuclearâ¯Blast, while Roots achieved a Billboard 200 peak, cementing Sepulturaâs influence across groove, thrash, and nuâmetal.
