Sepultura
Sepultura (portuguese for Grave) is a Brazilian Metal band that was formed in 1984 in Belo Horizonte by the brothers Igor and Max Cavalera. Sepultura is the most successfull band from Brazil although they are a Thrash/Death Metal band that plays non-commercial music. The band was famous for their raw and simple music that is influenced by native brazilian music. In 1996 singer and guitarist Max Cavalera disbanded after an argument and started his own, successfull projects. Sepultura are loosing fans since this day.
Early Years
The band was formed by Max Cavalera on guitars and his brother Igor Cavalera. The brothers were inspired by Motörhead and Iron Maiden but when they were confronted with Thrash Metal for the first time, they knew which music they wanted to play. The brothers recruited Wagner Lamounier (vocals) and Paulo Jr. (bass guitar). Rumors say that they chose Paulo, who was living in the same street as the Cavaleras, only because he had a shiny new bass and not because he could play it well. Playing ability was a big problem within Sepultura in the early years: Every member was selftaught on his instrument without any help of a teacher which resulted in the lack of basic knowledge like tuning the instrument. But the lack of professional helped to make Sepultura's music raw, simple and unconventional. Wagner Lamounier disbanded after an argument with the brothers and Max had to take part on the vocals. The lineup was completed by the local Jairo Guedez on the lead guitar.
