Sepultura has been a mainstay in the metal world for nearly 37 years. Unlike other genres, metal music does not fall in and out of trends with who’s hot right now. These bands and riffs age like fine wine, and have become more celebrated throughout the decades. It used to be a challenge to break into the music industry in the pre-internet era, a time before clicks, streams, and endless Youtube content, where word of mouth, street teams, and the power of paper flyers fueled an entire cultural movement within thrash metal. Sepultura, who hails from Brazil, has revolutionized and inspired metal music for decades. They truly are your favorite band’s favorite band.
