Information about Sepultura

Sepultura (Portuguese for "grave") is a heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, formed in 1984 (28 years ago). The band was a major force in the death metal and thrash metal realms during the late 1980 (32 years ago) and early 1990s, and their later experiments melding hardcore punk, nu metal, and industrial music with extreme metal provided a blueprint for the groove metal genre.

Sepultura have released eleven studio albums so far, the latest being A-Lex (2009, 3 years ago). Their most successful records are Arise (1991, 21 years ago), Chaos A.D. (1993, 19 years ago), and Roots (1996, 16 years ago), each of them having surpassed the one million mark worldwide. Sepultura has sold over 15 million units worldwide, gaining multiple gold and platinum records across the globe, including in countries as diverse as France, Australia, Indonesia, United States, Cyprus, and their native Brazil.
