SEPULTURA Roots – Vinyl 2xLP (black)

Pressing info : Expanded and deluxe edition. 2017 repress on 180g black vinyl 2xLP. Newly remastered on 180G Vinyl.

After the tremendous success of Chaos A.D., this 1996 album saw Sepultura taking a further step away from their thrash metal, um, roots, with a groove-based approach that married traditional Brazilian rhythms and chants with contemporary nu-metal stylings. Guests included Mike Patton and members of Korn and Limp Bizkit. It’s a divisive but undeniably bold and influential album. This edition is remastered and expanded, with an extra disc of demos, instrumentals and live cuts.

Standouts include demos for “Dusted” and “Roots Bloody Roots,” instrumental versions of “Dictatorshit” and “Cutthroat,” a version of “Attitude” recorded live at Ozzfest, and the unreleased first take of “Kaiowas.”
