Roots (Sepultura Album)
''Roots'' is the sixth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura. It was released in Europe on and in the U.S. three weeks later on March 12 by Roadrunner Records. It is the band's last studio album to feature founding member and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Max Cavalera, who left the band in late 1996 while the band was on tour to promote the album. Following the shift to slower tempos and Latin-tinged rhythms on the album '' Chaos A.D.'', ''Roots'' delves even further into Brazilian musical textures and features significant contributions from iconic Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown, who guided and arranged the sections throughout the album that feature ensemble percussion playing.
