Three years after Chaos A.D., Sepultura returned with Roots, an album that was deeply influenced by Brazilian rhythms, which were incorporated into tracks like “Itsári” and “Ratamahatta”. Since its release in 1996, the album has sold more than two million copies worldwide.
Roots: Expanded Edition features a newly remastered version of the original
album, plus 17 bonus tracks. Standouts include demos for “Dusted” and
“Roots Bloody Roots”, instrumental versions of “Dictatorshit” and
“Cutthroat”, a version of “Attitude” recorded live at Ozzfest,
and the unreleased first take of “Kaiowas”.
