Sepultura: Драма длиною в 30 лет

Sepultura announced their retirement. Like many others, I initially thought, "Well, the band is old, everyone's tired, it happens." But then I dug into the history. And I realized I knew nothing. Do you know how it all began? In 1985, two brothers from Brazil, who barely spoke English, formed a band. They borrowed instruments from friends, forgot to tune their guitars, and their friend Linho translated the lyrics for them from a dictionary. It was a mess—but that mess became the stuff of legend. And then, in 1989, their album cover was stolen and given to Obituary. And they turned it into Cause of Death. And then began the process that turned them into one of the world's most important metal bands... and simultaneously destroyed them from within. In this episode, I explore the history of Sepultura. I explain how the albums Chaos A.D. and Roots made them stars. How a conflict with his manager—Max Cavalera's wife—led to a split. How the tragic death of Max's stepson escalated everything to the limit. And how in December 1996, Max said, "Fuck you all, I'm out of here," and left the band he himself had created. Next, two Sepulturas. One with Derrick Green, the other with Soulfly. And 10 years of silence between the brothers. And then a phone call, a reunion, and the Cavalera Conspiracy project. The end? Sepultura is leaving the stage. But the Cavalera brothers are back together. Maybe this is the happy ending? Watch to the end, and tell us in the comments: for you, did Sepultura "die" in 1996 or just now?
