Now Available: Sepultura - The Roadrunner Albums: 1985-1996

When it comes to powerhouse thrash metal bands of the 1980s and 1990s, precious few had as much influence on their peers as Sepultura. Founded by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, they came from Brazil, they took no prisoners, and they went on to sell millions of records around the world, but they did so while allowing their music to evolve rather than growing stagnant by being afraid to step away from the sound of their proven successes.

You can follow Sepultura’s musical evolution on the new box set THE ROADRUNNER ALBUMS 1985-1996, a six-CD set which follows the band through their run on Roadrunner Records and reveals the way their sound changed over the course of those 10+ years.

Here’s what you’ll find in the set:
BESTIAL DEVASTATION EP (1985) MORBID VISIONS (1986) SCHIZOPHRENIA (1987) BENEATH THE REMAINS (1989) ARISE (1991) CHAOS A.D. (1993) ROOTS (1996)

In addition to the CD release, the set will be released on vinyl, with each album pressed in a different color. Come on, you know that’s awesome…
