Music Video of The Day: Cavalera Trilogy Part 1: Sepultura

Hello my readers finally got some free time on my hands and I must say today was amazing with the sunny weather which is odd, because I usually prefer the cold. Any who for next couple of days I'm gonna take you all on this journey of amazement! First stop is in the country of Brazil in 1985. It's end of the horrible dictatorship that's been around since 1964. Democracy has came into it and along with it: Metal. Right after the change musicians flooded into the country since they were banned in past. Which started a rock festival that would be titled the largest in the world: Rock In Rio. This would be held in Rio de Janero where in the first festival 1.5 million people attended. Major international bands and local Brazian bands would play at this intense festival of music armageddon. Such as: Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy, Queen, Scorpions, Rod Stewart. Here's some other interesting facts as well:

First Rock In Rio

• The "City of Rock", the place where the event was held (which was built for the festival) covered an area of 250,000 m² (around 2.7 million square feet)
• 1,600,000 liters of beverages were served, using 4 million plastic cups.
• 900,000 hamburgers.
• 500,000 pizza slices.
• McDonalds sold 58,000 hamburgers in a single day, which was a Guinness World Record.

Well that was a little history lesson about that for you now onto the band! After the death of their father and dropping out of High School Max and Igor Cavalera sought out a career in music together. They didn't had much money due to their family's financial strain. But, still the Cavalera brothers were able to create a band that would be an idol of Brazilian Trash Metal : Sepultura (Portuguese for grave). After releasing their first two albums which didn't sell very well their third Beneath The Remains was where they would become noticed worldwide and even ended up performing at Rock In Rio II. 

Sepultura was on fire with their head thrashing brutality and brought a tribal sound to the metal genre which was new and at first questioned if it was considered metal or not. 

As the years continued the band even headed out to Amazon to see the Xavante tribes to record one of their hit albums: Roots. This where they truly achieved that tribal sound while maintaining their amazing metal image.

Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots by baloo57880

While on tour in support for Roots Sepultura hit a major bump in the road. During a show lead-singer/rhythm guitarist Max Cavelara abruptly left the concert after hearing the news of his grandson's murder which left the band alone with guitarist Andreas Kisser having to take over vocals. Although this wasn't exactly what made Max leave. After the release of Roots the band (excluding Max) came to the conclusion to fire their manager who just happened to be Max's wife. This angered him and caused him to leave the band and tensions raised high between the Cavalera brothers which caused little communication between the two and they wouldn't even play together for 10 years. But, thats for another time! Hope you enjoyed the first part in my little trilogy. Peace.
