Formed in 1984 by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the band was a ma-jor force in the thrash metal and groove metal genres during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their later experiments drawing influence from alter-native metal, world music, nu metal, hardcore punk and industrial metal. Sepultura has had several changes in its lineup since its formation, with Max and Igor Cavalera departing in 1996 and 2006, respectively. Sepul-tura’s current line up consists of vocalist Derrick Green, guitarist Andreas Kisser, bassist Paulo Jr. and drummer Eloy Casagrande. Since Igor Cav-alera’s departure in 2006, there have been no original members left in the band. Paulo Jr. and Kisser, who joined Sepultura in 1985 and 1987 respectively, are the only members to appear on every album, although the first one featured Jairo Guedz on guitar instead of Kisser.Sepultura has released thirteen studio albums to date, the latest being The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart (2013). Their most successful records are Arise (1991), Chaos A.D. (1993) and Roots (1996). Sepultura has sold over three million units in the United States and almost 20 million worldwide, gaining multiple gold and records around the globe, including in countries as diverse as France, Australia, Indonesia, United

States, Cyprus and their native Brazil. In a June 2015 interview with Yell! Magazine, guitarist Andreas Kisser stated that Sepultura would begin work on their fourteenth studio album after the completion of the The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart tour. Asked about the album, Kisser stated, “We’re gonna start working [on it] now. Of course, I have a lot of riffs here and there. Eloy also has some ideas. But we need really to start organizing and then get ready for practice and really develop the songs properly. But we’re gonna take our time, probably for an end-of-2016 release. On February 24, 2016, Sepultura announced on their Facebook page that they had begun writing their fourteenth studio album, and posted pictures of themselves in the studio. The band entered the studio in May to begin recording it with producer Jens Bogren. On October 28, 2016, it was an-nounced that the album is titled Machine Messiah, and will be released on January 13, 2017. In support of the album, Sepultura (along with Soilwork and Aborted) will be supporting Kreator on the Gods of Violence tour in Europe, which will take place in February and March 2017.
