Sepultura was formed in Belo Horizonte in the 1980s by Jairo Guedez (Guitars), Max Cavalera (Guitars and vocals), Paulo Jr. (Bass), and Igor Cavalera (Drums). Sepultura signed to Cogumelo Records after a few years of performing. Their first EP was "Bestial Devastation", a split with another band's album on the flipside. Their first LP was Morbid Visions (1986 in music), which included the moderate hit "Troops of Doom" that attracted the band some attention. After Morbid Visions, Jairo Guedez left the band for another death metal venture and Sao Paulo based guitarist Andreas Kisser replaced him. Their second full-length album was Schizophrenia, which was a critical success that led to a contract with Roadrunner Records.
