Sepultura

Producer: Jens Bogren

There is an endless consumption
A careless production destroying what stands in its way

A product drenched in blood. Profit at any cost

Expanding
No limits
Lost focus
Blind eyes

The war is raging
Fighting for justice
Trapped in a nightmare
Must hear them screaming

Stand in direct opposition
To the values that we share
It strains and betrays our community

Expanding
No limits
Lost focus
Blind eyes

A war is raging
Fighting for justice
Trapped in a nightmare
Must hear the screaming

The greed. The hunger continues endlessly
There's ways to change this
Buyer beware

Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte. Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a major force in the death metal, thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alternative metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal.

The first Sepultura show was on December 4th, 1984. The band played two songs that never were re-recorded or released.

The band name comes from a Portuguese translation of Motörhead’s song “Dancing on Your Grave” which is “Dançando na sua Sepultura”. Sepultura means “grave” (sepulchre) in Portuguese (and in some other Latin-based languages). Originally, they wanted to call the band Tropa de Choque (Shock Troops), but found that the name had been used before.
