Sepultura

Sepultura  is a Brazilian thrash metal band from Belo Horizonte, formed in 1984. The band was a major force in the death metal and thrash metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal. Sepultura has had several changes in its lineup since its formation; the band's current line up consists of vocalist Derrick Green, guitarist Andreas Kisser, bassist Paulo Jr., and drummer Eloy Casagrande.

Sepultura has released 13 studio albums so far, the latest being The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart (2013). Their most successful records are Arise (1991), Chaos A.D. (1993), and Roots (1996). Sepultura has sold over 3 million units in the USA and almost 20 million worldwide, gaining multiple gold and platinum records across the globe, including in countries as diverse as France, Australia, Indonesia, United States, Cyprus and their native Brazil.

On the eve of completing 30 years of existence, Sepultura met with producer Ross Robinson, with whom they had worked 18 years prior on the masterpiece "Roots", to build together the new disc by the most internationally successful Brazilian rock band. Recorded between June and July of this year, the album "The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart" is scheduled for release on October 25 via Substancial Music in Brazil and Nuclear Blast worldwide. On their 13th studio album, Sepultura retains the characteristic critical stance in their lyrics. Musically, "The Mediator" is a bomb, varying between fast, aggressive and brutal songs with others in which the weight of the groove forms a true wall of sound.
