Sepultura is a Brazilian thrash metal band, formed in 1984 at Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Their name means "grave" in Portuguese, which they chose after Max Cavalera, one of the founding members, was translating the lyrics of the Motörhead song "Dancing on Your Grave" from their Another Perfect Day album.[4] At the core of Sepultura were brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the empoverished sons of model Vânia and Graciliano, a well-to-do Italian diplomat whose fatal heart attack left his family in financial dire straits.[6] Graciliano's death deeply affected his sons, providing them the impetus to start a band. members Derrick GreenAndreas KisserPaulo Jr.Jean Dolabella Former members Wagner LamounierMax CavaleraIgor CavaleraJairo Guedes
