Formed in Brazil in 1984, Sepultura attained international fame for their uncompromising, aggressive music that blends heavy metal, thrash, extreme metal, hardcore and groove metal, along with the musical elements of the band's native country. Sepultura has sold nearly 20 million records worldwide, with a new album due in 2011.
“Sepultura is another example of the reliability AKG offers performers across all genres of music, live or in the studio,” Alfred Reinprecht, marketing manager, AKG. “The band has had a huge influence on listeners, fans and fellow musicians, and we are excited to give NAMM attendees a unique opportunity to meet and mingle with Sepultura.”
Since their debut in 1984, Sepultura has enjoyed both critical and popular acclaim for albums including Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D., Roots and A-Lex. All-Music Guide called Sepultura “one of the leading creative trendsetters of the aggressive music scene” and stated, “Chaos A.D. ranks as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time.”
