SEPULTURA Biography To Be Released In Brazil

October 29, 2013

Brazilian publisher Benvirá, a subsidiary of corporate giant Saraiva, will release a biography of SEPULTURA before the end of the year. Written by American author Jason Korolenko ("The Day I Left"),the book documents the band's storied career beginning in the streets of Belo Horizonte and São Paulo in 1984, and culminating on the eve of their 30th anniversary.

"SEPULTURA is a phenomenon," said Korolenko, "having formed at the tail-end of Brazil's military dictatorship, during a time when artists and musicians were still recovering from the 1978 redaction of a law — the AI-5 — which saw supposed 'subversive' songwriters and filmmakers exiled from the country. SEPULTURA was born in the turmoil of a shifting political and economic landscape, and went on to become Brazil's most popular musical export, selling over 20 million albums worldwide in the process. Theirs is a story with universal themes of struggle, change, and evolution, and it's fitting that the book will be released in Brazil first."

Having recently published autobiographies from such noteworthy artists as Ozzy Osbourne, MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine, and AEROSMITH's Steven Tyler, as well as acclaimed titles by Paulo Coelho and former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, Benvirá's SEPULTURA biography is described by Korolenko as "a celebration of the music, the integrity, and the attitude — as well as the truth behind rumors and misinformation spread throughout the years — of a band that brought Brazil to the world, and then brought the world back to Brazil."

SEPULTURA's new album, "The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart", was released on October 25 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The English-language edition of "My Bloody Roots: From Sepultura To Soulfly And Beyond", the autobiography of former SEPULTURA frontman Max Cavalera, will be made available on April 15, 2014 through Jawbone Press.
