A band which started out as 50% Death Metal and 50% Black Metal with Bestial Devestation and Morbid Visions. Then went to thrash metal with Schizophrenia, Beneath the Remains, and Arise. Slowed down their tempo and simplified their
music with Chaos A.D. which used lots of
guitar pedal effects and tribal sounds and downtuned guitars. Some
people believe it
may be responsible as starting nu-metal a little. Speaking of which Sepultura then released a damn korn-sounding abomination known as Roots. Horrible album. After that the original vocalist left and in his place came a black
hardcore vocalist. They released Against which had a
hardcore sound to it and it was much better then Roots.
Two years later they released Nation, a conceptual album based on creating a new nation. Then they released Roorback, which got rid of all the tribal sounds of the past four albums and kinda returned to an older sound. What's in the future for Sepultura? No one knows. But they are still together. This year is their 20th year as a band.
