Sepultura — Giants of Rock Festival, 1991

Why this recording

July 1991: Arise had been out for a few months and Sepultura were taking it to Finland, to the Giants of Rock festival in Hämeenlinna. The set opens with the title track, moves into “Inner Self” and “Mass Hypnosis”, then reaches back to Morbid Visions with “Troops of Doom”. Two covers in the last third point to the band's influences: Motörhead's “Orgasmatron” and Titãs' “Polícia”, a nod to Brazilian rock. The video, posted by an aggregator channel, is billed as a remastered stereo version.

Full live concert of Sepultura at the Giants of Rock festival, in Hämeenlinna, Finland, in 1991. A Brazilian band founded in Belo Horizonte, Sepultura became at the turn of the 1990s one of the standard-bearers of global thrash and death metal, propelled by the albums Beneath the Remains and the imminent Arise. This capture catches the band in the midst of its international rise, with the historic lineup led by Max Cavalera (vocals, guitar) and his brother Igor Cavalera (drums). On stage, Sepultura delivers a brutal, precise set blending razor-sharp riffs, blast beats and the stage intensity characteristic of the era’s extreme scene. This full concert, restored in HD, is a valuable archive document of the early international conquest of a band that would revolutionise metal with the album Chaos A.D. and the introduction of Brazilian tribal rhythms. To relive for the raw energy of a period concert and the band’s historical importance. Filmed live concert, 1990s thrash and death metal in full, for fans of extreme metal and live archives.
