Former Sepultura members Max Cavalera (guitar, vocals) and Iggor Cavalera (drums) will embark on another European tour in November to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's classic album Roots by performing it in its entirety. As part of MTV Headbangers' Ball Tour 2017, fans will have the chance to enjoy live performances from thrash pioneers Overkill, melodeath legends Insomnium, and German death metallers Deserted Fear.

Max and Iggor first played Roots at last year's edition of the Amnesia Rockfest in June 2016. Roots, along with 1993's Chaos A.D., is considered Sepultura's most commercially successful release, having been certified gold in 2005 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).

Roots? dafuq? Why not Arise or Beneath?

edit: Ok, 20th anniversary. It makes sense.

...Maybe because Max Cavalera don't let them play it...

Roots was imo the last good album from Sepultura, so it's a good thing to play it in its entirety. I would love to see them 20 years later (well isn't it rather 21 since the band split in 1996 ?)

To be honest, I don't like Roots at all. It's too Nu Metal for me, but that's just taste, right? I would love to hear those Tribal/Brazilian indigenous elements with their Thrash sound.

Roots was actually released in february of '96, while Max announced its departure in early '97. I remember well, it was quite a shock for me, Sepultura were one of my favourite bands at that time, and their first six albums are still among the most precious items of my collection.

Sad what happened, the band never has come to be the same...

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Roots was pretty average apart from the title track, which was special. It should be a good show though, mainly because Overkill and Insomnium will be there too. But if they played the whole Arise album for example, now that would be unmissable! Max will probably do that in 2021..

I used to be a hardcore fan of Sepultura back then, I even bear their logo tattoed on my right shoulder (well it is also the first letter of my firstname) but seeing what happened to the band as they split really found me mad at them. They didn't bear the ideas their songs used to bear. I sold all my CDs of them and never listened to them anymore. But +20 years later I can make the effort to attend a gig featuring both Cavalera brothers !
