Rising from their modest roots in Brazil, they were born as a primitive, almost black metal flavored death-thrash outfit. Sepultura's ambition and incredible talent has since seen the cohesive unit successfully and seamlessly cross-pollinate death metal, thrash metal, mainstream metal, hardcore, punk and even tribal influences into a distinct metal powerhouse that is continuing to destroy musical boundaries and open minds with its socially conscious outlook. In this interview conducted for Pit Magazine, Derrick Green, the band's hulking front man, discussed their latest effort 'Roorback'. . . .and in case you missed these recent features: The Quill http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewthequill.html Iced Earth http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewicedearth.html All Out War http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewalloutwar.html -- REVIEWS -- - METAL JUDGMENT - http://www.metaljudgment.com Hypocrisy 'The Arrival' (Abyss, Death, Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/hypocrisya_frames.html Capharnaum 'Fractured' (Abyss, Death, Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/albums/capharnaum_frames.html Silencer 'Found On The Sun' (Zilla) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/silencer_frames.html Throttlerod 'Hell And High Water' (Redwolff) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/throttlerod_frames.html Beloved (US) 'Failure On' (Blind) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/belovedus_frames.html Runemagick 'Darkness Death Doom' (Lugubrious) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/runemagickd_frames.html Blinded By Faith 'Under An Occult Sun' (Behemoth) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/bbf_frames.html Soul Demise 'In Vain' (Snake) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/souldemise_frames.html The Heavils 'The Heavils' (Requiem) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/heavils_frames.html December Aeternalis 'I Slept With Glass In My Mouth' (Slither) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/da_frames.html Mastodon Concert (Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/mastodonla_frames.html Dillinger Escape Plan Concert (Hel) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/dephobla_frames.html The Gathering, Agalloch, November's Doom, Lucubro Concert (Requiem) http://www.metaljudgment.com/summary/tgandl_frames.html Cathedral 'The Ethereal Mirror' - Classic (Solomon) http://www.metaljudgment.com/classics/cathedral_frames.html Enertia - Demo (Zilla) http://www.metaljudgment.com/demos/enertia_frames.html Bodyfarm - Demo (Lugubrious) http://www.metaljudgment.com/demos/bodyfarm_frames.html -- NEW RELEASES -- 2/21 - To Elysium - Nightmare's Nest 2/21 - The Wounded - Atlantic 2/23 - Debase - Unleashed 2/23 - Primal Fear - Devil's Ground 2/23 - Fleshcrawl - Made Of Flesh 2/23 - Council Of The Fallen – Deciphering the Soul 2/23 - Orphaned Land - Mabool 2/23 - God Forbid - Gone Forever 2/23 - Nattefrost – Blood And Vomit 2/23 - Monstrosity - Millenium 2/23 - Threshold - Extinct Instinct 2/23 - Cruachan - Tuatha na gael 2/23 - Vond - Selvmord 2/23 - Hate - Awakening Of The Liar 2/23 - Katatonia - Brave Yester Days 2/23 - Orphaned Land - Mabool 2/23 - Tribute To Possessed - Seven Gates of Horror 2/24 - Error 2/24 - Pain of Salvation - 12:5 2/24 - Prong - Scorpio Rising 2/24 - Anathema - A Natural Disaster 2/24 - Anata - Under A Stone With No Inscription 2/24 - Deicide - Scars Of The Crucifix 2/24 - Wolverine - Cold Light Of Monday 2/24 - Exmortem - US Berzerker Campaign 2/24 - Beloved - The Running 2/24 - Anata - Under A Stone With No Inscription 2/24 - G3 - Live: Rockin' In The Free World 2/24 - G3 - Live in Denver (DVD) 2/24 - Opeth - Lamentations Live. . .
