A landmark release within an iconic discography, Roots marked a major change for Sepultura. The derelict speed and furious thrash riffs of the Brazilian innovators earliest days gave way to the groove-bombed and tribally-pounded out rhythms of Ratamahatta. Max Cavaleras intense metal screams came complemented by guest vocalists like Mike Patton, Korns Jonathan Davis and the chants of their home countrys Xavante people. A globe-dominating metal masterwork, the original Roots album is being presented in this 5LP deluxe box set alongside rough demos, alternate takes and a crushing live performance from Ozzfest 96.
