The album's themes are robotization and god in modern society, and it's a diverse sound packed with everything they've done in their career so far! Produced by Jens Bogren, who has worked with Sinsaenham and Fleshgod Apocalypse! Sepultura's guitarist, Andreas Kisser, recently appeared at the closing ceremony of the Rio Paralympics, which is still fresh in our memories. They have left behind revolutionary works spanning multiple subgenres of extreme metal, including thrash metal, death metal, black metal, and groove metal, which are increasingly subdivided. In an era before the internet, Brazilian thrash metal was merely a cult scene for enthusiasts. Sepultura completely changed that perception. They are truly Brazilian heroes. Brothers Max and Igor Cavalera formed Sepultura in 1984. The following year, 1985, they debuted with the split LP "Bestial Devastation" with fellow Brazilian band Overdose. In 1987, "Schizophrenia," produced with the addition of guitarist Andreas Kisser, who is now the leader of the band, marked a turning point. This album, which abandoned the looseness of their previous black metal sound and significantly improved their playing and sound quality, became a big topic of conversation outside of Brazil. Furthermore, with "Roots" in 1996, produced by Ross Robinson, they incorporated a large amount of Brazilian elements. They pushed their new style to even greater heights. After that, Max Cavalera and Igor Cavalera, who were the faces of the band, left, but the band continued to release albums steadily. And now, they are releasing their 14th album, "Machine Messiah," 3 years and 3 months after their previous one. As the album title and artwork suggest, the theme this time is robotization and God in modern society, the so-called deus ex machina. As vocalist Derrick Green said, "Fans probably can't imagine what kind of album it will be. But fans know that Sepultura is a band that is always trying new things, right?" True to his word, the album starts off with a song that could be described as a ballad. It is a diverse work that packs in everything from thrash and groove metal to their signature world music, encompassing their entire career to date. Furthermore, they showcase a progressive side with organ solos and symphonic arrangements, demonstrating that even after more than 30 years in the industry, Sepultura continues to greedily forge new paths. The album is produced by Jens Bogren, currently the most sought-after producer in the extreme metal scene. Black metal, death metal, groove metal?Sepultura has reached the pinnacle of many genres. "Machine Messiah" is a work that marks a new step for them.
