Roots

Sepultura

A massive collision of Brazilian tribal percussion and down-tuned groove metal. Raw, politically charged, and thick with the humidity of the rainforest.

February 21, 1996 · Roadrunner Records

Find on Amazon

A relentless, earth-shaking surge of primal energy and political defiance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the berimbau intro to the crushing main riff of the opening track.
The Xavante tribe's chanting merging with heavy distortion on Itsári.
The chaotic vocal interplay between Max Cavalera, Mike Patton, and Jonathan Davis on Lookaway.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Roots sound next to the rest of Sepultura's catalogue?

Forest saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
