Roots<\/strong> is the sixth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura. It was released in Europe on February 20, 1996 and in the U.S. three weeks later on March 12 by Roadrunner Records. 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<\/strong> 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<\/strong> is also a conscious nod to Brazil’s marginalized indigenous population and cultures. The song “Its\u00e1ri” features a Xavante chant that re-appears on the song “Born Stubborn” and serves as a loose thematic thread for the whole album, which on the whole showcases the band’s increased affinity for experimentation and collaboration. “Lookaway” features guest appearances by Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis, then-Korn drummer David Silveria, then-Limp Bizkit turntablist DJ Lethal, and Faith No More\/Mr. Bungle\/Tomahawk\/Fant\u00f4mas\/Dead Cross vocalist Mike Patton. Riff-wise, Roots<\/strong> also draws influence from the then-surging nu metal movement, specifically Korn (whose first two albums were also produced by Roots<\/strong> producer Ross Robinson) and Deftones. (After leaving the band, Max Cavalera would continue to pursue the nu metal and “world” stylings of Roots<\/strong> with his solo project Soulfly.) Since its release, Roots<\/strong> has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.<\/p>\n

Roots<\/strong> represents a significant shift in direction for Sepultura. On several levels, the album reflects a concerted effort on the band’s part to embrace its Brazilian heritage, with a heightened focus on Brazilian culture that is strikingly apparent in the music. Musically speaking, the inspiration for the shift was twofold: One was the desire to further experiment with both Latin and indigenous strains of the music of Brazil, including the percussive style of the Salvador, Bahia samba reggae group Olodum. Roots<\/strong> was also inspired by Korn’s self-titled debut, with its heavily down-tuned guitars.<\/p>\n

Roots<\/strong> is a groove metal album that incorporates strong elements of nu metal, thrash metal, death metal, world music, various Brazilian musical styles (including Brazilian folk music), tribal music, and ambient field recordings. All of the songs on Roots<\/strong> draw from these styles, with the band often blending them in unconventional ways and at times super-imposing them onto one another through creative mixing and editing in post-production. Several songs feature Brazilian instrumentation that had up to that point never been used by a metal band (certainly not one of Sepultura’s stature), and the album is peppered with ensemble percussion sections played by the band along with Carlinhos Brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
