Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Brazilian metal band’s 1996 album. Roots is the sixth studio album by Sepultura.
It is the band’s last studio album to feature founding member and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Max Cavalera. Following the shift to slower tempos and Latin-tinged rhythms on the album Chaos A.D., Roots delves even further into Brazilian musical textures and features significant contributions from iconic Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown, who guided and arranged the sections throughout the album that feature ensemble percussion playing. Both in sound and overall aesthetic, Roots is also a conscious nod to Brazil’s marginalized indigenous population and cultures.
