Sepultura Music

Artist Overview
Formed in 1984, Sepultura put Brazilian metal on the map. Their early recordings are typified by speed, aggression, and anger, much of which stemmed from the band's preoccupations with the poor social conditions in their native land. Few metal groups contain such a rich and powerful sound as Sepultura, who merge brutal heavy metal with tribal rhythms and world music. After a remarkable run of albums, frontman Max Cavalera left the band under tense circumstances (going on to form Soulfly) and was replaced by American vocalist Derrick Green in 1998.
