Sepultura releases 'Roorback'

NEW YORK (SPV ecords press release) - Cultivating years of experience and touring relentlessly, Brazilian metal titans Sepultura is making monstrous waves with American media in support of the band's latest opus Roorback (released through SPV Records). Combining their trademark tribal-metal stylings with modern sensibilities, Roorback is an explosive breath of fresh air in the current musical landscape.

The band's first video single from the album, "Bullet the Blue Sky" (a cover version of the classic U2 song), debuts this weekend on MTV's Headbangers Ball (Saturday, September 13th at 10pm Eastern) and is already in rotation on other video outlets. MTV Latin America will debut it shortly. "Bullet the Blue Sky" is currently streaming on the Internet here: https://www.spvusa.com/btbs.ram

Radio had a meltdown this week, as Roorback erupted on the charts, making more massive jumps on the various panels than any other artist. The album leapt from 16 to 7 with a bullet at FMQB (181 spins), 28 to 3 with a bullet on CMJ Loud Rock, 33 to 8 on CMJ Crucial Spins (181 Spins), and is #6 on the R&R chart.

The proverbial sky is the limit for Sepultura in 2003, and the band will not rest until all have witnessed the power and strength of the band. Having just returned home from their first-ever South African tour, a no-holds barred North American tour is in the planning stages for October and expect to be blown away!
