SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
From their humble beginnings in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Sepultura went on to
become the most successful Brazilian heavy metal band in history. Over a
ten-year period, the band grew from strength to strength, transforming itself
from a primitive death metal ensemble into one of the leading creative
trendsetters of the international aggressive music scene. Unfortunately, a
bitter internal crisis almost destroyed the band, and Sepultura struggled to
recover their previous momentum.
Hailing from Brazil's third largest city, Belo Horizonte, Sepultura (which means
"grave" in Portuguese) were formed in the mid-'80s -- a time when that country
was beginning to emerge from a 20-year military dictatorship. Max Cavalera
(vocals/guitar), Igor Cavalera (drums), Paulo Jr. (bass), and Jairo T. (lead
guitar) had a hard time even finding rock & roll albums, and especially
"socially unacceptable" genres such as heavy metal and punk. Their early
influences were Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Slayer (literally the first three
records purchased by Max on a visit to the "big city" Sπo Paulo), but the band
soon progressed toward a death metal sound, inspired by emerging bands such as
Possessed and Death. Their drive and determination (they sang in English from
day one) more than made up for their geographic isolation and inexperience, and
though they were only in their teens and still learning how to play their
instruments, the band quickly evolved into underground contenders. After landing
a deal with independent Cogumelo Records, Sepultura recorded four songs for a
split LP with fellow Brazilians Overdose. Reissued on CD and named for its first
track, 1985's Bestial Devastation was self-produced and recorded in just two
days -- and it shows. Recorded with minimal time and money in August 1986, their
first full-length album, Morbid Visions, showed little improvement, but
contained their first hit, "Troops of Doom," which attracted some media
attention and convinced the band to relocate to Sπo Paulo (Brazil's largest city
and financial capital) in order to further their career. They also replaced
guitarist Jairo T. with Sπo Paulo native Andreas Kisser, whose greater musical
ability would help take the entire band to the next level.
In 1987, Sepultura's technical proficiency finally caught up with their creative
vision, and their second full-length album for Cogumelo, Schizophrenia,
displayed an incredible evolution in terms of production and performance. It
also became a minor critical sensation across Europe and America, drawing the
attention of Roadrunner Records, which promptly released the album worldwide and
signed the band to a long-term contract. No longer restrained within Brazilian
borders, the band set about composing 1989's Beneath the Remains, the first of
four albums which would solidify Sepultura's position as perhaps the most
important heavy metal band of the '90s. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro under the
guidance of leading death metal producer Scott Burns, Beneath the Remains was an
immediate critical and commercial success, and the band's ferocious performances
on the subsequent European tour (which saw them systematically blowing
headlining German thrashers Sodom off stage) further cemented Sepultura's
reputation. The band also filmed its first video, for the single "Inner Self,"
and finished the year tour with a triumphant set of shows in its homeland.
After obtaining new management and relocating to Phoenix, Arizona, Sepultura
entered Tampa's Morrisound Studios with producer Burns to record 1991's highly
acclaimed Arise album. First single "Dead Embryonic Cells" proved to be another
resounding hit, and the title track would gain even more attention when its
video was banned by MTV America due to its apocalyptic religious imagery. The
world tour that followed elevated the album to platinum sales worldwide (a
figure rarely achieved by bands of such extreme nature) and, in a strange twist,
found singer Max Cavalera marrying band manager Gloria Bujnowski, who was almost
twice his age. Such was the band's success that its label, Roadrunner, obtained
a co-distribution deal with Epic Records for its next recording, 1993's Chaos
A.D.. By incorporating social issues (especially relating to Brazil) into their
lyrics, as well as displaying some of their punk and hardcore influences for the
first time, the album was another worldwide smash thanks to singles like
"Territory" and "Refuse/Resist." After touring for over a year, the members of
Sepultura took a well-deserved break before starting work on their most
ambitious album yet, 1996's Roots. The introduction of native Brazilian
percussion and musical styles into their trademark down-tuned guitars and
increasingly sociopolitical themes resulted in a highly unique record which
could be loosely described as heavy metal world music. Roots marked Sepultura's
creative peak, and the band's continual rise to ever-greater fame seemed
guaranteed until a family tragedy set off a series of events which would break
up the band.
Just hours before taking the stage at England's Monsters of Rock festival, the
band discovered that the teenage son of manager (and singer Max's wife) Gloria
had been killed in a car accident. A shocked Sepultura took the stage as a trio
while Max and Gloria boarded the first plane back to America. Only a few months
later, the band confronted Max about severing ties with Gloria and finding new
management. Still recovering from the recent trauma of a death in his extended
family, Max viewed this as a huge betrayal and left the band amid much bad blood
and acrimony. As the band's creative leader, many expected his departure to
spell the end of Sepultura, but the band announced that it would carry on and
soon began looking for a replacement.
After a long search, Sepultura recruited Cleveland native Derrick Green as their
new singer and began laying down tracks for 1998's Against. Though it retained
much of the intensity and diversity of its predecessor (including a
collaboration with Japan's Kodo percussion ensemble on the track "Kamaitachi"),
the album lacked the unique spark which had characterized the band's prior work.
It also sold only half as many copies as Cavalera's first album with his new
band, Soulfly, clearly showing with whom fan loyalty remained. Undaunted,
Sepultura returned in early 2001 with Nation. The album followed in the
footsteps of its predecessor, despite better reviews and a more seasoned Green
on vocals. In order to reach out to its slowly shrinking fan base, the group
released one of its last live shows with Max, Under a Pale Grey Sky, in the fall
of 2002. An EP of covers, Revolusongs, was released in 2003, followed by the
full-length Roorback, 2005's Live in Sπo Paulo, and 2006's Dante XXI, and 2009's
Clockwork Orange-inspired A-Lex. The following year the band announced they had
signed to Nuclear Blast, where they would go on to release 2011's Kairos, as
well as their 13th studio album, The Mediator Between the Head and Hands Must Be
the Heart, in 2013.
