Roots Bloody Roots - Sepultura - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura managed to release one of the most influential songs of the 1990s with “Roots Bloody Roots,” the lead single from their album Roots (1996). The song, and the album as a whole, signaled the group’s move towards groove metal, as well as the style of music that would eventually become known as nu-metal. Written by Max Cavalera, Igor Cavalera, Andreas Kisser, and Paulo Jr., and produced by Ross Robinson, “Roots Bloody Roots” consists of heavy, distorted, down-tuned guitars, with an emphasis on the groove and deep, rumbling basslines. It was produced by acclaimed nu-metal producer Ross Robinson, who would go on to become a key figure in the alternative music scene of the 1990s and 2000s. The song’s music video highlights the sights and culture of Brazil, with the traditional martial art of capoeira prominently featured. “Roots Bloody Roots” was a highly successful single for Sepultura, making it to Number 1 on the UK Rock & Metal charts, as well as Number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
