Hey....I can`t believe that somebody with your HM knowledge doesn`t know Sepultura that well
Personally I love this band and they take the thrash/groove metal template the whole way. I have most of their stuff but its without doubt the Max Cavalera stuff you want to listen to before he went of to form Soulfly. Start with "Beneath the Remains" 1989 and then "Arise" 1991 these are largely thrash affairs up there imho with the best stuff that other thrash acts were putting out at the time. Its the period just after this that Sepultura for me became one of the best metal acts ever and this is based on the following 2 albums "Chaos A.D" 1993 and "Roots" 1996, on these albums the band moved towards a groove metal sound and incorporated influences such as Industrial but most importantly Brazilian tribal rhythms, I would say that these two albums are some of the best HM albums ever especially Roots. Another defining factor of the group, is that of the sonic savagery of Max Cavalera which is almost unequalled.
