Sepultura’s iconic sixth album Roots marks the final record with founding member Max Cavalera. This 5LP Super Deluxe Box Set includes the original album with bonus track “Canyon Jam,” two LPs of alternate mixes and demos, plus a previously unreleased 1996 Ozzfest Phoenix performance. Packaged in a custom hard box with new artwork, an embroidered patch, and a fold-out poster.
Building on Chaos A.D.’s slower tempos and Latin rhythms, Roots dives deeper into Brazilian musical influences, honoring the country’s indigenous cultures. The album features Xavante chants woven through tracks like “Itsári” and “Born Stubborn.” Notably, “Lookaway” includes guest appearances from Jonathan Davis, David Silveria, DJ Lethal, and Mike Patton, highlighting the band’s experimental spirit and collaborations.
