Biography
The Cavalera brothers were the children of a model and an Italian diplomat. When the father died of a heart attack, the family lost their resources. Max started listening to vinyls and discovered bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. By the end of 1984, the two decided to leave everything and dedicate themselves to music. The initial line-up included Paulo Jr. and Wagner Lamounier, but the latter left due to disagreements and founded Sarcófago. Max became the vocalist and Jairo Guedz stayed on guitar.
In 1985, Sepultura started playing at local festivals and signed with Cogumelo. Their first EP, Bestial Devastation, was recorded in two days in an improvised studio. It was released together with Século XX from Overdose. Although the quality wasn't good, the sound allowed them to gain fame in Brazil and record Morbid Visions in 1986. Although they didn't have much exposure outside the country, playing as support for Venom and songs like «Troops of Doom» helped them grow. After finishing the first album, they decided to go to São Paulo to move forward.
