SEPULTURA "Roots" /CD/

First re-release of the fifth full-length album by the legendary Brazilian Death/Thrash Metal band.
This album can be considered very innovative looking back the other releases before it. Comparing this album with the others, it is totally different. The music here is heavily influenced by Discharge but it can be considered a big mix of Hardcore, Thrash, Tribal music and Death Metal. Well, the true Death Metal has a bit (a lot) gone away but some influences can be found in some riffs spread in the album. The tribal influences started with Arise album where were used only for the intros, but here we have the explosion of these ones. The atmosphere on this song is strange, in some parts is ritualistic…like early Brazilian music, made by the natives….in this case we can really see what would have been the band's style in the future. Its starts the Sepultura groove period that continued with the following, boring and too tribal influenced “Roots”. “Chaos A.D.” is probably the most mosh-worthy album in the history of Metal. Almost every track here is laden with brutal yet simple pit grooves that are nearly irresistible.
This is the last great Sepultura’s album. Like its two predecessors, “Chaos A.D.” received very positive reviews from music critics, with many commending the album's experimentation and sense of the band coming into their own. AllMusic declared it one of the best heavy metal albums of all time. The album was also a commercial success, debuting at #32 on The Billboard 200 and eventually being certified Gold for sales of more than 500,000 copies in the United States.
The original version included a hidden bonus at the end of "Clenched Fist" in the form of laughter outtakes from "We Who Are Not As Others", increasing the length of track 12 to 8:01. An American pressing on Epic separates the laughter outtakes to a 13th track lasting 2:01.
180 gram vinyl. Includes a black/white printed inner sleeve featuring album artwork and lyrics. Credits are included on a separate double sided black/white printed insert with a band photograph on one side, as well as thanks list and album credits printed on the reverse.

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary Brazilian Groove/Thrash Metal band.
The first release in three years from Sepultura, which is fronted for the second time out by new vocalist Derrick Green, who replaced founding vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera, after six previous studio efforts. This time around, his vocal styling and melody lines play an integral part in the songwriting (on "Against", he merely came in and sang what the rest of the band had written), and there's a renewed sense of confidence and cohesion in both, his performance and those of guitarist Andreas Kisser, drummer Igor Cavalera and bassist Paulo (Jr.) Pinto.
As a result, "Nation" features material such as "Sepulnation" and "Border Wars" that holds up well next to their best efforts on albums like "Chaos A.D." and the 1996 masterpiece, "Roots". Likewise, the band continues to expand their own artistic borders by seeking out new musical combinations, whether with dub wizard Dr. Israel on "Tribe to A Nation" or the Finnish string quartet Apocalyptica on "Valtio". The album also features guest appearances from artists such as Hatebreed singer Jamey Jasta, Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra, Ill Niño singer Cristian Machado, as well as Ratos de Porão frontman João Gordo.
According to the official site, a video for "One Man Army" was scheduled to be filmed at the end of August 2001. However, due to a lack of support from Roadrunner Records, the video was never made. Sepultura blamed Roadrunner Records for not promoting the album and left for SPV Records in 2002.
The album received better reviews than "Against", but sold fewer copies. As of April 2002, “Nation” has sold over 55 700 copies in the U.S. and went gold in Brazil.

The third live album by legendary Brazilian Groove/Thrash Metal band.
Sepultura are one of the most successful acts ever to come out of Brazil with global album sales in excess of 30 million and are one of the most important and influential Metal acts of their generation. Celebrating their 30 years of rocking around the world, Sepultura returned to their native Brazil to celebrate and produce their 30 Years Anniversary live album.
In a spectacular performance that finds Sepultura accompanied throughout by the French Industrial percussion group Les Tambours Du Bronx, notorious for beating 225-liter barrels with beech wood bats or even axe handles, the show was recorded from the band’s main stage appearance at the legendary Rock In Rio Festival, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 19, 2013. Featuring Sepultura’s most revered tunes, including “Refuse/Resist”, “Territory” and “Roots Bloody Roots”, which sees the audience chanting the entire cut from beginning to end, the sheer volume of sound, percussive enormity and powerful presentation sets, this release apart from any previous Sepultura concert offering to date. By adding the pounding of fourteen drums from Les Tambours Du Bronx, Sepultura’s music is increasingly technical, undoubtedly forcing both bands to remain focused through the entirety of the set. Les Tambours Du Bronx’s tribal intensity proves to be vital, when performing with Sepultura, and provides them an additional aspect to their music.
Musthave to every fan of Sepultura!

Expanded Edition re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary Brazilian Thrash/Death Metal band.
An ultra-classic from one of the most powerful Death/Thrash Metal bands to ever come! This album marked the band's transition from third-world obscurity to major contenders in the international Extreme Metal arena.
As soon as the deceptively gentle acoustic intro gives way to the title track's Thrashing brutality, the listener is propelled at maximum speed and intensity through to the very last crunch of "Primitive Future". In between, Sepultura offer their first bona fide hits with "Inner Self" and the inspired "Stronger Than Hate", featuring lyrics written by Atheist's Kelly Shaefer. It's not over there as they charge ahead with the triple threat of "Mass Hypnosis", "Sarcastic Existence" and "Slaves of Pain", all of which feature mind-blowing solos from guitarist Andreas Kisser, thunderous double-bass work from drummer Igor Cavalera, and the furious howling of singer Max Cavalera.
The complete absence of filler here makes this one of the most essential Death/Thrash Metal albums of all time. This is an album that will strike your heart with memorable tunes that will stick in your mind forever.
A jaw-dropping release and one of the greatest Metal albums of the 80s! Any fan of Thrash Metal should get this album!!
