One special night in 96. My boys from my band went to see Ozzy, Sepultura and Life of Agony. Loa canceled at the last and Ozzy allowed Sepulture to play both opening sets. They played most of the roots record and just blew the roof off the place. Max would be gone soon after.
Gen X here. I got a kick out of you both, so much appreciation. Wish you could've seen them back in the day. I was fortunate to see them w/Pantera and Type O Negative and their live performances are amazing. 💜
That sound is (no disrespect to Sepultura obviously) producer Ross Robinson. He was real big on capturing the very raw and nasty sound of the groups he worked with. Only polished where it needed to be, heavy, crushing, powerful. You can hear the heart of the band behind the thunderous sound.
'Ratamahatta' is an invented expression, which has no literal meaning, some say that maybe could be a joke with the Rats in Manhattam, so maybe Sepultura guys was comparing New York or US with places like São Paulo or something like with a good pinch of nonsense, but with some subliminal twisted message about our society and history. The repetition of 'hello' in different contexts ('uptown', 'downtown', 'midtown', 'trench town') suggests a greeting or a call for the union of different social spheres. Biboca (some dangerous or crazy kinda places with improvised houses and stuff like that, sometimes it's reffered as a "negative 'crème de la crème'" place) garagem (garage) favela (slum) , biboca garagem favela! Fubanga (someone that isn't well dressed or ugly) maloca (place with a bunch of hood dudes or some kinda abandoned or old house still used by some good fellas as we can imagine) bocada (that sinister bloke), fubanga maloca bocada! Maloca bocada fubanga, maloca bocada fubanga! Favela garagem biboca, favela garagem biboca, porra (fu**)! Zé do Caixão (It's a pseudonym of a famous Brazilian actor, known for short stories and horror movies, basically being a character who is an amoral undertaker with Nietzschean beliefs), Zumbi (Francisco Zumbi: born in 1655, he was one of the main representatives of black resistance to slavery during Colonial Brazil), Lampião (one the most famous brazilian thugs ever).
Hey there, fellow Millennial! So, here's the scoop: I'm kind of scratching my head over something. When I was growing up, it was like super crucial to know the history of the scene, ya know? Understanding how punk, hardcore, and metal came to be, being clued in on the major players - that was the deal. But now, I'm starting to wonder, has that vibe vanished into thin air? Are the Gen Z folks cruising around without a clue about our glorious musical past? I mean, come on, you can't just skip over Sepultura if you're diving into the hardcore or extreme metal scene, right? It's like a rite of passage or something! Let's hope the next generation isn't totally history-challenged, huh? We've gotta pass the torch of musical wisdom on somehow!
Honestly, who gives a shit. Life is too short to know the medical record of the sound engineer that record the third EP of the first cousin of the second wife of the uncle of Max Cavalera.
most people who think they fully know the history of heavy music are lying to themselves anyways. its complex and some of the most influential names are often overlooked for the shit that sold the most (which lets be honest, is why a lot of us were listening to it) and honestly i think that millennials just gatekeep harder than gen Z does (for better, or for worse)
I think today, music is just a big list of tracks that you click on and listen to. Backbin the day, if you wanted to hear an album, you had to pay £15 for the pleasure. You would savour it , read all the liner notes etc.
@@HausOfPain The other options would probably be Roots Bloody Roots or Refuse/Resist, but why not start with the track that made them huge and blew up MTV? That's how a lot of people first heard of them, including me.
@@HausOfPain Lol how is this not sepultura? Same lineup that made all their classics (+ paulo) they just changed their sound. This album is amazing and is what got me and probably most people into the band so dumb statement dummy
