My First Time Listening to Roots by Sepultura | My Reaction

[@WretchedDrummer]

The record label thought they were crazy for wanting to go in the Amazon jungle with Indigenous people and write music, incorporating traditional Brazilian instruments. Much to the surprise of the record label, the album was a success and its considered a Metal classic. The vocalist/guitarist stated “We should have our own identity, why should we try to copy metal in the United States?” Sepultura is legendary in Brazil.

[@timhalo7898]

The irony of that statement is that this album is a blatant band wagoning onto the nu metal sound originated in The United States by Korn. It's actually not a good representation of the real Sepultura sound. It's so obvious, they even got Jonathan Davis for lookaway. They so desperately wanted to be in the nu metal club. It's enjoyable, and the indigenous vocals and percussion give it a nice flair, but it's a weak Sepultura album. She should listen to Arise, Beneath the Remains or maybe Chaos AD (even though this was their first slide into becoming derivative of bigger American bands, in this case they were trying to be pull off a Pantera-esque groove metal sound.)

[@Enigma9Sigma]

@@timhalo7898 Hey, Tim just a bit of history if you don't know... My Dad actually Mixed this album (& produced earlier Sepultura albums) Ross Robinson Produced this Record & Korn’s Debut as well as Slipknot’s. (my dad mixed IOWA) I think what you may possibly be hearing is rather more organic then you might think... Ross really is somewhat the unofficial “father” of the sound of “Nu Metal” - He didn't do it as a “trend” its sort of just how he made/makes records. This album... I would have to ask my father exactly when it was recorded but was absolutely recorded in the very immediate time frame if of Korn’s debut. Best Regards. 🤘🏻

[@timhalo7898]

@@Enigma9Sigma no shit dude, but you’re wrong, korn invented the new metal sound and Robinson rode that wave just like all the other hack wannabes, including Sepultura at this low point in their career. Wow your dad mixed this album? Like I give a fuck. How about developing your own credentials instead of pathetically citing your daddy’s accomplishments in a shitty attempt to be condescending

[@natanvalentine]

​@@timhalo7898 i dont know where you guys from. but theres a band here in brazil called nação zumbi that brought a album in 1994 that influenced a lot the sepultura in the roots album. Nação sounds like a helmet/RATM band with a lot of percussion from the northeast brasil. Lúcio Maia aka jackson bandeira, the guitarrist later reccorded the fist soulfly album. besides that there is a rhythm called maracatu that theres a lot of influence in the songs Ratamahatta/breed apart and frevo rhythm in Born Stubborn and the all the capoeira thing on the attittude with the berimbau. i'm not saying that arent korn in this sound. but theres more background that everyone thinks.

[@leonardovilla-forte3727]

@@timhalo7898 you´re completely wrong, buddy. You´re thinking about this album through the lens of United States rock/nu metal from the 1990´s. If you want to really understand "Roots" you gotta put another glasses. Check: nação zumbi, capoeira, jiu-jitsu, timbalada, xavante, maracatu, manguebeat, the enormous tradition of brazilian percussion... Glasses closer to what Natan Henrique said in a commentary here.

Fun fact: Mike Patton and Jonathan Davis are featured on Lookaway! Not sure if you knew that but just putting it out there.

Yeah, it's funny that she mentioned both guys or their bands before that track even came up. They also did a couple of B sides with Mike Patton around this time: Mine and The Waste. Both worth checking out if you haven't heard them.

[@benjaminpost1050]

It's a fantastic album...no doubt. It has a lot of "nods" to Brazilian culture, and to the indigenous populations of the Amazonas. Such as: --The "Twangy string instrument" on the second track is a berimbau, which is an African instrument, which was adopted by Brazilians, used a lot in the Brazilian dance/music/martial art of Capoeira --The rythm in the start of "Breed Apart", is a typical samba/carnival rythm --Several of the tracks have Portuguese or native lyrics --Some of the track have Break Downs, that become almost entirely native Brazilian music

Ratamahatta has Carlinhos Brown vocals along with Max

[@richardcruz5297]

[@morganhayes1589]

Went from Deftones to Sepultura's Roots. Made my day. Since this the last record of the original lineup(s) it has more nu- metal sounding, and the lead vocalist Max Cavalera is pissed and fumed with the loss of his step son Dana who was murdered. But they have a more doom/thrash black metal style in their beginnings. Still a kick ass record to listen to from front to back. And miss Molly another great reaction to Roots. Keep them coming?

[@odracul]

this is simply amazing. they used various instruments of our brazilian roots (here goes the name), which was and is many times forgotten. by the way, "berimbau" is the name of the instrument used in "attitude" and other songs.

Seriously molly your voice is like silk. You could read the phone book and I'd listen to it. Great to see you experience new music. Cheers from Brisbane Australia

[@CaptainDugog]

So after this record, Max left the band and started another nu metal band called Soulfly (after the chanted word he said in the song Headup by Deftones) and their first record is also this really interesting mix of Brazilian tribal music, nu metal and thrash metal. Even Chino is featured on the song "First commandment" on that record. Also you're totally right after the turntable scratching, this record featured DJ Lethal from House of Pain and Limp Bizkit, that dude literally helped invent distorted turntablism via using a guitar amplifier and running his decks through there to try and make the turntables sound like a guitar (like a reverse Tom Morello).

[@zZ_N0TH1NG_Zz]

Hey I know u from Twitter!

[@TheRafaelRamos]

Literally the best metal band from Brazil 🤘😎🎸 Great vid Molly!

[@ScarysReviews]

I HIGHLY recommend Arise and Quadra (their current album) 2 of their best, Arise being quite the staple of Thrash, Quadra being the finest of the new version of Sepultura (fronted by Derick Green since 1997) Sep's last 2 albums are very good too, their first few with Derick wern't great, but from 2011 to now, DAMN. Roots, very experimental, iconic and has some awesome songs

[@BloodringBanger]

Funny that you mentioned Mr. Bungle and "Irony Is a Dead Scene" on Lookaway, because Mike Patton's vocals are actually featured on that track. You can find live version with him on KZbin, sick stuff.

[@quickdrawmcgraw3567]

OMG I cant believe you liked Roots, they are one of my all time favorite bands, especially Chaos A.D. and Beneath the Remains 😁

[@EyeShotFirst]

Roots is definitely a Korn inspired album. Sepultura sought out Korn producer, Ross Robinson for this album, and it really shows. The track Lookaway basically being like a Nu-Metal super-group outing with Jonathan Davis, one of the pioneers of the genre, and Mike Patton of Faith No More being one of the god-fathers (though he despised Nu Metal, calling it derivative). The track even featured House of Pain and later Limp Bizkit member DJ Lethal. House of Pain could even be considered a big influence on the Nu Metal genre, as they would do early shows with bands like Helmet and Korn. It's a sound that Max Cavalera would carry with him into his next band, Soulfly. The thing that really sets it apart is the tribal vibe of the album. Again, these sounds would be explored even more with Max's next band Soulfly.

[@guinterstricker]

its much than a korn inspired album, there are a lot of background with Brazilian music in this album, but you guys clearly dont understand or try to reduce it

[@EyeShotFirst]

@@guinterstricker I'm not knocking the album or trying to reduce it. But you cannot deny that it was heavily inspired by that raw, stripped down sound that early Korn presented. Regardless of what the themes are, or what it's garnished with. The band themselves are going for a Korn inspired sound.

[@vxrdrummer]

They wanted to sound like Korn which is what is widely accepted. They went with Ross Robinson for the 'Korn sound', but also wanted to go to Indigo Ranch where the forst two Korn records were recorded, and lets face it, many bands went with Ross and Indigo off the back of his success with Korn. I don't think those things are in anyway reducing the album by saying they were heavily influenced by what Korn sounded like. Its not a bad thing to be influenced by Korn. For me it's their best record as it has that different sort of 'Korn' sound, but is still Sepultura at its core. I think it's a bit snobby to acuse someone of reducing Sepultura, or that they don't understand by simply stating that they were influenced by Korn. Sepultura purist or not, that just isn't cricket. Anyway, if there was the Korn influence, it really helped this record to be even better and I don't think fusing influences can ever be bad unless you are intentionally ripping it off, or jumping on the bandwagon ala Machine Head with the Burning Red. Roots is still hugely Sepultura and tribal but just has aspects of another influence, or a natural change in their direction, which is allowed to happen.

[@vxrdrummer]

@@EyeShotFirst completely agree dude.

[@Salomon_G]

I don't know if anyone has said it but this album was produced by Ross Robinson, who produced the first two Korn records, and this was recorded at the same studio as those two albums. Two members from Korn are also on this album on the song Lookaway, that was Jonathan Davis on vocals in the verses. Needless to say, the band where very much into Korn.

[@robertcunningham2777]

I don't know how I missed you doing Sepultura. Such a fun band for metal fans (and an epic live show).

So happy to see a Sepultura review!! One of the best live shows I've been to was in 1994 when they toured with Fudge Tunnel, Clutch, and Fear Factory. Any of those bands are worth checking out. One of my favourite is Fudge Tunnel - Creep Diet which is full of nicely crafted noise rock with a heavy groove and amazing guitar.

[@briteskin]

All the press before the album was all about how Korn and Deftones were huge influences for the album and they had gotten Ross Robinson to produce it. When this was released was surprised the direction they went. They had experimented with bringing their cultural roots to metal and 'Kaiowas' from their previous album was a huge live favorite but didn't expect a full album or it to work so well. I don't have time to research to see if RoadRunner or someone has posted on KZbin the companion video album that collected the video singles with interspersed discussions by the band explaining symbolism in the vids, more about their heritage, and such. It is a good watch though, imo. 'Arise' is my fave album from them. One of the few albums that I have bought 3 times (vinyl, cassette, CD). I suggest if you decide to continue to dig in with the Max albums just do thing in reverse and do 'Chaos AD' next.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Ooooo Sepultura, nice! You gotta check out their masterpiece album Arise! Or better yet, start from the beginning.

You mentioned similarities of this album to Korn and Slipknot, funnily enough the producer of this album was Ross Robinson, who also produced Sepulturas previous album Chaos A.D. which is my fav of Sepultura. He was kind of the starter pack for metal bands around this time. Robinson also produced Slipknots first two albums as well as Korns first two albums. He also produced the first albums for Coal Chamber, Limp Bizkit, Glassjaw and oh boy Vanilla Ice when he went Nu Metal.

This album has several quotes from Brazilian beliefs and folklore, as well as instruments that had their origin in the country, as a Brazilian I must say that when I saw Sepultura gaining a worldwide reach and giving great support to nu-metal without losing national characteristics I was extremely happy. Another album that not only does the same but also has several special guests such as Corey Taylor and Chino Moreno is Primitive, by the band Soulfly, also created by Max Cavalera, I recommended.

In the booklet that comes with the cd album it says that the song Istria was recorded live in the in the home of the Xanvntes tribe (a tribe from the Amazon rainforest), Aldegia Mato Grosso Brazil on the 5 of Novmenber and that Istria means roots in the Xanvntes native language and that the chant used in the track is the a healing ceremony chant used by the tribe. The booklet also says there is only one guitar playing on the song Jasco. The album cover for this album is just a picture of a member of the Xanvntes tribe which I'm guessing is to show the bands country roots (the band are Brazilian) as the album is all about the bands and there countries roots.

The Cavalera brothers recently re-recorded Sepultura's first death/thrash metal EP & album Bestial Devastation & Morbid Visions with the Cavalera Conspiracy project (the originals were low budget and kinda sounded like Slayer bootleg tapes), so if you ever wanted to hear 80s metal with modern sound & production, they sound pretty great.

One of the cool things about Sepultura, is that they were the first metal band (that I'm aware of) to incorporate tribal drums into their music.
