Sepultura

Released: January 13, 2017

Producer: Jens Bogren

I've taken all I can take
I feel the need to destroy
Fight or flight is born in me
Chronic pain set free

Anger raging. The demons within
Silent violence. Created this sin

Killed by the stress

The demon within
Silent violence
Just have to let go

Broke all the rules of the game
I tried to make it all end
Of course you will have to pay
Live life toiled and fray

Hard-wired to life day after day
There's not a difference it all seems the same
Triggered frustration from feeling this way
Social destruction

Anger raging. Silent violence
Torture unfolds. Silent violence

It started as nothing but grew into something
Just feeding away until you cannot function
You're never controlling but in disillusion
It's grinding away like a modern day plague

Anger raging. The demons within
Silent violence. Created this sin

Killed by the stress

The demon within
Silent violence
Just have to let go

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.
