Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band, originated in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in 1984. The band's original lineup included brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, Paulo Jr., and Andreas Kisser. Sepultura is known for their influential contributions to the thrash metal and groove metal genres, combining aggressive, politically-charged lyrics with powerful, intricate musical compositions.
The band garnered widespread attention and acclaim through their relentless dedication to their craft, culminating in the release of their album "Beneath the Remains" in 1989. This pivotal release solidified their place in the metal scene and propelled them to international recognition. Additionally, their subsequent albums, such as "Arise" and "Chaos A.D.," further expanded their reach and showcased their ability to push the boundaries of extreme metal.
Sepultura's discography boasts an array of iconic songs that have left an indelible mark on the metal genre, including "Roots Bloody Roots," "Refuse/Resist," and "Territory." These tracks epitomize the band's signature blend of ferocious instrumentation and socially conscious themes, resonating with audiences and cementing their status as pioneers within the heavy metal landscape. Furthermore, albums like "Roots" and "Chaos A.D." stand as monumental achievements, underscoring Sepultura's enduring influence and impact on the global metal community.
In January 1991, Sepultura performed for an audience of over 100,000 people at the Rock in Rio Festival. Having relocated from their native Brazil to Phoenix, Arizona in 1990, the band secured new management and recorded the album "Arise" at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida. Following the album's release, Sepultura embarked on an extensive tour throughout 1991 and 1992 to support the album.
In 1996, the band found itself reduced to a three-piece lineup, with Andreas Kisser assuming lead vocals, as Max Cavalera left the concert site earlier in the day upon learning of the death of his stepson, Dana Wells, in a car accident. After completing Dana Wells' funeral, Max returned and resumed touring with Sepultura. A few months following Wells' tragic death, the band held a meeting with Max, expressing their desire to dismiss their manager, Gloria Bujnowski, who was both Max's wife and Dana's mother, and seek new management. Their rationale was that Bujnowski was allegedly favoring Max while neglecting the rest of the band.
In 2011, Sepultura underwent significant changes, with drummer Jean Dolabella leaving the band after Wacken Open Air, replaced by Eloy Casagrande. Various milestones followed, including the announcement of a biography, "Relentless – 30 Years of Sepultura," and the release of the thirteenth album, "The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart."
On December 8, 2023, the band revealed plans for a farewell tour in 2024, marking their 40th anniversary. This conclusive 18-month tour signifies Sepultura's disbandment in 2025.

It will be their farewell tour 2024/2025. they've already announced it.
-
Really? but why tho ? they are not that old...
-
I think (my opnion) that their concerts are not that profitable anymore.
-
thats sad.. i might go to one of their concerts this year then, maybe it will be the last time seeing them live
-
2024 will be their last tour, they've already announced it.
-
It's true. check on news blog. the 2025 tour will be the farewell tour
-
-
See you guys here in Brazil!!!
-
Looking forward to see you guys in bogota colombia !!
-
Things are not the same without max and igor... its not the real sepultura anymore smh
-
Lol... a die hard max fan, who would expect that smh
-
And the problem is?
-
No problems at all. I'm just saying people that love the old sepultura is the most common thing nowadays.
-
It's not that i love the old sepultura, the thing is that i don't support the "new" sepultura. Not because of anything technical, but because of what happened and the way max and igor were forced to leave their OWN band.
-
They were not forced to leave the band, dude. Max and igor left at their own will, everybody knows that
-
Not only that, but max's wife were screwing things over..
-
I was already a Sepultura fan at that time. I was getting all my information from reliable sources, and I know what the other members did to force them out of the band
-
Say whatever you want to say, I have my point.
-
-
Can't wait to see you guys finally, shame it'll be the first and last time but what a tour to go to
-
And Sweden? You recorded your 2 last albums here but no shows here? Eloy was in Stockholm in november with his drum clinic and ask him, the Swedish fans miss Sepultura!!
-
I'm pretty sure they just had a concert there, no?
-
lol i'm swedish man, i would know if they come here for a concert....
-
-
See you guys in Dublin
-
Phantom Self it's my favorite
-
Their new album is awesome banger of an album! it gives me Arise vibes
-
Alethea, Vandals Nest, Sworn Oath, so many to choose from
-
I really like Dante XI the most, though I also enjoy "Phantom Self" and "Age of the Atheist" from the same album. Overall, it's a strong album. I like the music with a good melody, but Sepultura's heaviness is almost too much for me. They're the only band this heavy that I like, although I do enjoy a few songs by Slayer too.
-
Both are just great!
-
No doubts, man!
