These guys are from Brazil. They didn't just read the headlines like most metal bands, they lived in them. Keep in mind they speak Portuguese, so these lyrics are written and sung in a second language as well.
The guys are Brazilian but they always sang in English. so much so that Max now has Soufly and lives in the USA. unfortunately I had to do that at the time to grow the band. but from the nest that emerged from the grave came several metal masterpieces: overdose, chakal, dorsal atlantica, etc.
This ENTIRE album is absolutely EPIC! This is one of the few albums I had growing up that I wore out the cassette and the player listening to it so much, had to re-buy it on CD, and never skipped a song.
Arise is one of my all time Favorite albums I saw Sepultura live for Arise with Ministry and Helmet. Ministry was the Headliners, Helmet and Sepultura opened for them.
English has a directly related word, sepulcher, which is a largish tomb made of stone which contains a room where the dead are buried (google images will show you good examples)
Sepultura was probably one of my biggest influences from 1989-1993. They released three of the biggest Thrash albums during that time and cemented themselves as one of the greatest Thrash bands of all time. The entire Arise album is insanely good and all the songs are worth checking out. Good to see you guys reacting to Sepultura, who by the way are still active, but literally just announced their next tour will be their last as they’re retiring Sepultura after that.
I was a huge fan, ended up touring with them, their crew worked one of my local shows and it turns out we lived on the same block. Life was crazy for a minute. Hope I run into them again, good dudes.
Oh my god, that happened with my favourite grindcore bands! I went to shows all over the country, only to find out they came from my hometown. I found out by suddenly sitting next to the front man at my local pub. Crazy times.
@@ared-ainu And you say...Beer? And they say yeah, beer! And then you wake up on the floor, saying holy crap I have to go to my real job in a few years..
dead embryonic cells by sepultura is a really good song. its off the arise album, refuse/resist is another amazing song to check out its off their choas A.D. album
Sepultura is the Portuguese word for Grave. Their original singer Max Cavalera is a huge Fan of Motorhead and they have a song called Dancing On Your Grave and Max got the idea for name Sepultura from that song. They started out as a Death Metal band on their first album and Ep and then switched to playing thrash metal.
The former drummer, which is the brother of the guitar and vocalist, Igor Cavalera, used to be a jiu-jitsu practitioner but I don't know how far he has come. Dead Embryonic Cells is the best song of this album, great lyrics and arrangements. It's worth a reaction. Cheers from Brazil and have a nice new year!
You should check out D.A.D aka Disneyland After Dark (they changed their name after being threatened with a lawsuit from Disney!)and their track "No fuel left for the pilgrims" They are a danish decades old rockband and they are pretty big in europe and australia and even had a record deal with warner brothers back in the 90ies when Mtv was a big deal! They play western/cowboy inspired rock and at this point every dane knows their lyrics by heart! The lead singer, Jesper Binzer has always been my spiritanimal and the celebrity most ppl have said I looked like! LOL
Sepultura it's a Brasilian metal band formed in mid 80s they were into in so many subgenres in metal as trash, speed,death, groove and even nu metal as well and answer you question if they know jujitsu i guess they do some capoeira which is The real one Brazilian martial art btw.
Max (singer) came up with the name from the Motörhead song "Dancing on your grave". His first language is Portuguese and he didn't really speak English at the time. He looked up the translation to "grave" and one of the results that came up was Sepultura
'Roots' is my favourite Sepultura album, they really got the groove thing nailed and leaned into their own South American origins which resulted in a unique album, a far departure from the relatively formulaic early work which always felt like it was made to please the labels not truly express themselves. Max Cavalera's side project 'Nailbomb' hit hard, though.
Ozzy Osbourne was once asked why Black Sabbath's songs were all about dark and scary subjects like war and the occult etc... he said well, if you've got guitars doing THIS.... (Makes the doom-laden sound of Tony Iommi's chord arrangements), you're not gonna sing about cups of tea and flowers and things are you? It won't fit!
Their album "Roots" they work with the Xavante Tribe, a native Brazilian Tribe and it is amazing. Check out Roots Bloody Roots and Ratamahatta, in Ratamahatta the second voice is the chief of the Tribe.
In the 80's too, there was still a lingering fear of nuclear war (stemming from the cold war) that you can see in some of art of the time and (for me) that's what these guys are on about in this song. Also, if you want to find some old school metal that leant right into the satan stuff, Deicide were always a fun choice.
Sepultura is awesome. Arise is their thrashier album, the previous one "beneath the remains" is more death-ish and speed metal, and the follow up Chaos A.D is driving more groovier and tribal vibes.
SOME OF MUSICS GREAT LYRICS ARE BY sepultura. one of my fav's goes "first generation born a plague was created, the cure is in my mind, solitude is all I see" off my favorite album BENEATH THE REMAINS. CYA
As a lifelong metalhead It always makes me laugh when people say they couldn’t listen to it because their parents didn’t like the cartoon drawings on the cover 😂😂😂.
Sup BP! Hey, I found a really cool live performance from Rammstein. It's from 2019 and they are playing the song Rammstein. It is live from Moscow, I believe. Smokiin concert
Check out troops of doom by sepultura live in barcelona 91 and try to find the guy jumping from the ceiling into the mosh pit...those were the days...sepultura do caralho!!
Sepultura's drummer and singer/rhythm-guitarists are brothers, they split ways over drummer's wife being too involved, eventually singer also left and the original solo-guitarist was left in charge. Brothers buried the hatchet and formed a new band "Cavalera Conspiracy"
They split over their Rhythm Guitarist and Vocalist’s (Max Cavalera) wife, Gloria, who was their manager, for pulling too much and being too one sided for Max. Their drummer, Max’s brother, Igor, agreed to fire Gloria as their manager, so Max quit feeling betrayed by the other members of the band and his brother.
Amazing band. He'd definitely vibe with Give It Revolution. Thorughout all time and history The world's been mauled by tyranny Now we're refusing to take it The worst evil the world has saw Were crimes defended by the "law" Deny our rights and we'll break it You got to break the chains that hold you down Crush the tyrants to the ground Freedom cannot be legislated We'll bow down to no other one Except The Father and His Son They can't deny what He's created
Sepultura are thrash but are definitely on the heavier side of thrash metal, lots of proto death and black metal elements in their 80s and early 90s albums.
They put out a live video for the tour for this album called Under Siege. I would HIGHLY recommend trying a couple tracks from that. Desperate Cry, Inner Self and Dead Embryonic Cells are all fantastic live tracks...and let me tell you, it's a wild show. South American metal is just a whole other world.
Well hot damn, to whom ever requested this, Hymen Brother! And you, Mr. Black Pegasus, keep exploring metal, and it's good to see you stepping out of the norm. As a rapper, the more you explore metal, especially thrash metal, the more you'll find yourself right at home. Oh and you pronounced it right the first time.
I made a suggestion in the comments for the Slayer reaction, but I’m not sure if I was the only one. I’m just glad they did it. I hadn’t listened to them in over a decade, and it felt like the first time all over again. Classic aggressive thrash.
Sepultura was the gateway into heavier "extreme" metal, for me anyway. They have tracks that are thrashy, doom, death, sludge, tribal, and rip it up like no other. Their cover of Motorhead's Orgazmatron is the definition of heavy. Love the channel keep up the good work.
I don't know, if the bandmembers are trained in BJJ (someone commented that the former drummer, Igor Cavalera, is so the following makes more sense), but the band must have a connection to BJJ. The official video to their song "Attitude" was shot with the Gracie Family. There is some BJJ-Octagon-Action going on while the band is performing the song. Sepultura changed their sound throughout their career. Starting as a very raw, brutal und primitive Death Metal Band (EP: Bestial Devastation, LPs: Morbid Visions, Schizophrenia), they became more thrashy, less primitive, but still brutal and even more aggressive(Beneath the Remains, Arise), than got more groovey (Chaos A.D.) and Nu Metal-ish (Roots). It's amazing, that at that time a band from Brazil became such a big influence to other bands because of there uncompromising music and mind. They were legit, because they were not just singing about political and social grievances, they lived in it.
Max the singer has the one of if not the biggest pro soccer jersey collection on the planet.. he used to have it in his writer they had to give him a club or country jersey pretty cool makes sense then being from Brazil
I have learned the terms like “thrash”, “speed metal” , “heavy metal”, death metal”, etc seem to be regional. We here in Ohio growing up in the 80s would never call Metallica or Megadeth “thrash”, but in other locations they do. They were “speed metal” here in the 80s and bands like Napalm Death we considered thrash or death metal. Really seems to be a regional thing.
Sepultura means obituary in portugise. They are widely considered as one of the creators of death metall. Been around since the 80s. Sadly they have now announced that they are retirering. Living legends
Here's a breakdown of the genres of hard rock/ heavy metal/ thrash metal / etc. (Hint: it's about speed, intensity, melody, delivery)..... Hard rock: Starting w/ Led Zeppelin in 1969, this is the least intense genre... more singing, more melody, not fast or intense... more groove. Songs about love... Bands (and songs) for example - Kiss ('Rock and roll all nite')... Scorpions ('No one like you')... Poison ('Unskinny bop') * The 90's had the subgenre 'grunge' rock (Bands like - Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Bush) and 'post-grunge' rock bands in the 2000's (Creed, Nickleback, Theory of a Deadman) or 'nu metal' bands (KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park) Heavy Metal: Classic heavy metal is faster, more intense, more attitude... melodic guitars, heavy riffs, songs about fantasy fiction/ dark scenarios ... Examples - Judas Priest ('Hellion/ Electric Eye')... Iron Maiden ('The number of the Beast')... Accept ('Balls to the wall') Thrash Metal: Also called 'speed metal'... faster riffs, faster double bass drumming, more punk rock attitude, more aggression... Examples - Anthrax ('Among the living') ... Metallica ('Trapped under ice') ... Exodus ('Impact is imminent') Power Metal: falls under 'heavy metal' category... fantasy fiction lyrics about medieval battles or science fiction... defined by high range vocals & intricate melody... Examples: Dragonforce ('Through the fire and flames') ... Helloween ('Eagle fly free') ... Battle Beast ('Eye of the storm') Symphonic Metal: also under 'heavy metal' category... Fantasy fiction... but defined by classical music influences - orchestral keyboards and epic arrangements w/ orchestral instruments & intricate melody... Examples: Nightwish ('Ever dream')... Tobias Sammet's Avantasia ('The Scarecrow')... Epica ('Cry for the Moon') EXTREME METAL (This is where the genres are branched out based on their delivery and level of intensity).... Death Metal: Songs about killing and brutality, defined by deep gutteral vocals and intense, 'chunky' guitar riffing w/ little or no melody required... Examples - Cannibal Corpse ('Hammer smashed faced')... Deicide ('Dead by dawn') ... Obituary ('Chopped in half') Black Metal: Songs about brutality, satanism, paganism, mysticism... usually defined by intense speed, raspy vocals... maybe not as brutal and can be raw or melodic w/ keyboards added... Examples - Immortal ('One by one')... Dimmu Borgir ('Mourning palace')... Emperor ('Curse you all men!') Grindcore: Songs can be political or brutal... shorter songs, hyper fast & intense w/ punk rock attitude... Examples - Napalm Death ('Unchallenged hate')... Rotten Sound ('Self') ... Stabbing ('Splatter pit') Doom Metal: Slower and darker... more gothic in vibe like early Black Sabbath... can also include keyboards... Examples: Type O Negative ('Love you to death')... Paradise Lost ( 'The Last time') ... Crowbar ('Planets collide') Hardcore: Closer to punk rock w/ metal guitars and can even have hip hop elements... Examples: Biohazard ('Punishment')... Hatebreed (''Destroy everything") ... First Blood ('Suffocate') Deathcore: A bridge between death metal and hardcore... brutal, but slower tempos... Suicide Silence ('You only live once') ... Despised Icon ('Purgatory') ... Fit for an Autopsy ('Far from heaven') Hope this was helpful 😈
Beneath the Remains along with Master of puppets are two classics. Malevolent Creation: Ten commandments is heavier but also a classic in this time period. These dudes are Brazilian and had to learn English to do this so that's why it's a little hard to understand, especially in this genre.
Great song guys, thanks for that! If you take any suggestions, since you're getting into SEPUTLTURA, I'd say "Dead Embryonic Cells" is the way to go after that! one of their best songs ever!! hands down, no BS, no lying, no nothing.
13:10 they actually have a video clip with Royce Gracie. Check "Attitude". And as "you'll not see me at thrash metal concert", the two bands you mention, Slayer and Metallica, are two of the "Big Four" of thrash metal. ^^ But to be honest, the Sepultura, during the Arise and Schizoprenia period is consider thrash but heavily influenced by early death metal, with is faster, and more aggressive than thrash
Yes this is classic Thrash metal. The whole album is great. One song takes lyrics from movie Last Temptation of Christ...just some trivia, take it however you want I guess.
