Belo Horizonte, Brazil (1983 – present)
Sepultura is a Brazilian thrash metal band, formed in 1983. Their name means “grave” in Portuguese, which they chose after Max Cavalera, one of the founding members, was translating the lyrics of the Motörhead song “Dancing on Your Grave”.
Sepultura was formed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1983 by Max Cavalera (guitars and vocals), his younger brother Igor Cavalera (drums), Paulo Pinto (bass) and Jairo Guedes (guitars). Sepultura signed to Cogumelo Records after a few years of performing, with a sound influenced by their favorite bands such as Ratos de Porão, Discharge, Possessed, GBH and Metallica. Their first EP was Bestial Devastation, a split with Overdose’s album on the flipside. Their first LP was Morbid Visions (1986), which included the moderate hit “
Troops of Doom” that attracted the band some attention. After Morbid Visions, Jairo Guedes left the band for another death metal venture and Sao Paulo based guitarist Andreas Kisser replaced him. Their second full-length album was Schizophrenia, which was a critical success that led to a contract with Roadrunner Records.
With Roadrunner distributing Schizophrenia worldwide, Sepultura reached new audiences of metal fans, cemented by 1989’s Beneath the Remains (1989), which was followed by a long European tour. By the time they released 1991’s Arise (1991), Sepultura were located in Phoenix, Arizona and had become one of the most critically-praised metal bands of the 1990s, with Arise going platinum by the end of its supporting tour. Musically, Arise was slightly different from the first three Sepultura albums. Slowing down and also experimenting with some groove-laden rhythms.

Sepultura didn't die. It still lives becaus Kisser is there. It just became a band with some new themes and concept. Derreck Green is actually a good frontman and a singer. Max left to Soulfly with war,god and roots themes ,while Sepultura got something new sound and concept like Dante's Divine Comedey and Clockwork Orange. The same situation reminds me of Nightwish. Because Band is not just the frontman,it's all the people in there
