SEPULTURA's 1996 Performance At Pinkpop Was So Insanely Energetic

If you Monday is moving a little too slow, why not kick it into high gear with this Sepultura show from Pinkpop 1996? It opens up with "Roots Blood Roots", so there's no time to be eased into things – the ass kicking is imminent and fierce. It also sounds great for being a live show, though I do wish that kinda farty bass tone was taken down a decibel or two. Whatever. The show runs as follows:

1. "Roots Bloody Roots"
2. "Spit"
3. "Territory"
4. "Breed Apart"
5. "Attitude"
6. "Dusted"
7. "Straighthate"
8. "Arise" / "Dead Embryonic Cells"
9. "Slave New World"
10. "Refuse/Resist"
11. "Ratamahatta" / "Kaiowas"

Sepultura plans to wrap up their career at one final show sometime in 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil and it seems pretty unlikely that former frontman Max Cavalera and former drummer Igor Cavalera will join them despite being invited come jam at the final show. Which I guess isn't surprising, given that Max has been pretty vocal and critical of Sepultura carrying on over the years without the Cavalera brothers.

So… enjoy this 1996 performance instead. It's probably the closest thing we're gonna get.
