Sepultura are a Brazilian extreme metal band formed in Belo Horizonte in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera. They are widely regarded as one of the most influential extreme metal bands in the world, known for fusing thrash metal with groove, death metal, and later incorporating tribal and indigenous Brazilian elements.
Emerging from South America’s underground metal scene, Sepultura became a global force in heavy music during the late 1980s and 1990s.
Sepultura’s sound is defined by aggressive riffing, percussive rhythms, and a progression from raw thrash metal to more experimental and groove-oriented styles.
The band are especially known for integrating Brazilian percussion and cultural influences into extreme metal, helping expand the genre’s global identity.
