A Brazilian metal band founded in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, *Sepultura* has become one of the most famous thrash/death metal bands in the world. With their first stable recording line-up established in 1985, including Max on guitar/vocals, Igor on drums, Jairo T. on lead guitar, and Paulo Jr. on bass, this "classic" line-up remained together until 1996 when Max Cavalera left the band over a disagreement. Derrick Green took over vocals in 1998.

Since their formation, *Sepultura* has been considered one of Brazil's most famous cultural exports. Their intense and aggressive sound has garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide. Influenced by various genres such as punk rock and hardcore music, they have crafted a unique style that blends heavy riffs with powerful lyrics.

Despite lineup changes throughout the years, including Igor Cavalera leaving the band in 2006 due to differences with other members, *Sepultura* continues to create groundbreaking music. They have inspired numerous artists within the metal genre and have influenced bands like *Cavalera Conspiracy*, *Soulfly*, and many others listed among their similar artists.

The band’s 14th studio album, Machine Messiah, produced by Jens Borgen (Opeth, Amon Amarth) was inspired by the robotisation of our society.Guitarist Andreas Kisser explains. “The concept of a God Machine who created humanity and now it seems that this cycle is closing itself, returning to the starting point. We came from machines and we are going back to where we came from. The messiah, when he returns, will be a robot, or an humanoid, our bio-mechanical savior.” While Kisser describes the previous album as an “explosion of feelings”, he asserts that this one is more “relaxed”. Certainly, from the brooding tone of the opening title track, it seems that Sepultura are surfing a creative streak on Machine Messiah. Beyond that the full-on thrash assault of I Am The Enemy, the eastern-tinged aggression of Phantom Self and the jaw-dropping instrumental Iceberg Dances, help to round out the band’s most rounded release since the mid-90’s. 2LP+ - Limited Double Gold Vinyl housed in Gatefold Sleeve. 2LP - Double Gatefold Etched Picture Disc Vinyl.
