Description
Roots stands as Sepultura’s most culturally daring statement, weaving the band’s ferocious groove metal into the indigenous sounds and rhythms of their Brazilian homeland. Recorded in part with the Xavante people deep in the Mato Grosso, the album carries a weight and authenticity that lifted heavy music into genuinely new territory. Few metal records before or since have felt so rooted in place while simultaneously sounding utterly explosive.
