Blood-Rooted
Blood-Rooted is a compilation from the Brazilian metal band Sepultura, released by Roadrunner Records on 3 June 1997. It gathers unreleased tracks, B-sides, remixes and live recordings, and the first six tracks and the eleventh are cover songs. Its sound sits across alternative, death, groove and heavy metal.
The record's place in the band's story is what makes it matter. It followed Roots, released in 1996, and it is the last officially recognised Sepultura album to feature original singer Max Cavalera, who left in December 1996 amid a management dispute. American singer Derrick Green took over in 1997, and the band's next studio album, Against, arrived in 1998. For anyone tracing that change of line-up, this is the closing note of the Cavalera years.
