SEPULTURA

Sepultura (Portuguese for "tomb" or "grave"^[1]) is a heavy metal band from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, formed in 1984.^[2] The band was a major force in the death metal and thrash metal realms during the late 1980s and early 1990s,^[3] and their later experiments melding hardcore punk and industrial music with extreme metal^[4][5] provided a blueprint for the groove metal genre. Sepultura have released eleven studio albums so far, the latest being A-Lex (2009). Their most successful records are Arise (1991),^[7] Chaos A.D. (1993), and Roots (1996),^[8] each of them having surpassed the one million mark worldwide. Sepultura has sold over 15 million units worldwide,^[9] gaining multiple gold and platinum records across the globe, including in countries as diverse as France,^[10][11] Australia,^[12] Indonesia,^[13] United States,^[14] Cyprus,^[15] and their native Brazil. Sepultura was formed in 1984 at Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais, Brazil.^[2] At the core of the band were brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the impoverished sons of model Vânia and Graciliano, a well-to-do Italian diplomat whose fatal heart attack left his family in financial dire straits.^[17] Graciliano's death deeply affected his sons, providing them the impetus to start a band.^[18] They chose "Sepultura" as the group's name after Max Cavalera was translating the lyrics of the Motörhead song "Dancing on Your Grave". The brothers' early likes included popular heavy rock artists of the early 1980s, such as Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne.^[2] Their listening habits changed dramatically after being introduced to Venom. As Igor Cavalera put it,

“

I remember the first time I listened to Venom, it was on a friend's borrowed tape. It was similar to Motörhead, only a lot heavier. I remember someone saying: it's the devil's Motörhead! After we got acquainted with Venom, we stopped listening to Iron Maiden and all that lighter stuff.[19]

”

From then on the Cavaleras rapidly started listening to bands such as Kreator, Sodom, Metallica, Exodus and Exciter. After constant band member changes, Sepultura established a temporary line-up of Max on electric guitar, Igor on drums, vocalist Wagner Lamounier, and bassist Paulo Jr..^[21] Lamounier exited the band in March 1985 after disagreements with the band, and moved on to become the frontman of the Brazilian black metal pioneering band Sarcófago. After his departure, Max took over the vocal duties. Jairo Guedes was the invited to join the band as their lead guitarist. After about a year of performing, Sepultura signed to Cogumelo Records in 1985. Later that year, they released Bestial Devastation, a shared EP with fellow Brazilian band Overdose. In 1986, the band released their debut full-length album, Morbid Visions, which is widely considered as one of the first pure death metal albums.^{[citation needed]} It was initially released in the United States on New Renaissance Records, a record label owned by Ann Boleyn.

DHANI ACHMAD

Dhani Ahmad Prasetyo (lahir di Surabaya, Jawa Timur, 26 Mei 1972; umur 37 tahun) atau yang lebih dikenal dengan Ahmad Dhani / Dhani Manaf adalah seorang musisi, penulis lagu, penata musik, dan produser Indonesia. Dhani merupakan leader dari grup band papan atas, Dewa 19 dan juga personel grup band The Rock. Dhani juga merupakan pemilik dan pimpinan dari Republik Cinta Management. Dhani telah mencetak banyak hits dan mengorbitkan sejumlah artis melalui karyanya. Bakat musik Dhani mulai bergejolak saat duduk di bangku SMPN 6 Surabaya. Dhani bersama 3 orang sahabatnya Andra Junaidi, Erwin Prasetya, dan Wawan Juniarso, kemudian mendirikan grup band DEWA pada tahun 1986. Dhani bertindak pada vokal dan keyboard. Saking tergilanya pada musik, tak jarang Dhani bolos sekolah untuk sekedar berkumpul bersama teman-temannya di DEWA untuk sekedar memainkan alat musik di rumah Wawan di kawasan komplek Universitas Airlangga. Dhani semula yang menteng di jalur rock, kemudian mencoba jalur musik jazz yang kemudian diikuti perubahan nama Dewa menjadi Downbeat. Bersama Downbeat, Dhani sempat menjuarai Festival Jazz Remaja se-Jawa Timur, juara I Festival band SLTA '90 atau juara II Djarum Super Fiesta Musik. Namun akhirnya Dhani kembali ke jalur rock dan mengibarkan bendera DEWA 19 dengan tambahan Ari Lasso. Karena tidak ada studio yang memadai di Surabaya, pada tahun 1991 Ahmad Dhani hijrah ke Jakarta untuk mencari perusahaan rekaman yang akan melabeli Dewa 19. Dengan modal seadanya, Dhani menginjak rimba ibukota, gentayangan dari satu perusahaan rekaman ke perusahaan rekaman lain menggunakan bus kota. Setelah sempat ditolak sejumlah label, akhirnya dhani dilirik oleh Jan Djuhana dari Team Records. Usaha Dhani tidak sia-sia, album perdana Dewa 19 (1992) sukses besar dengan melejitnya sejumlah hits seperti ”Kangen” dan ”Kita Tidak Sedang Bercinta Lagi”. Album ini tercatat sebagai album terlaris 1993 dan Dewa dianugerahi sebagai pendatang baru terbaik. Sukses Dewa 19 berlanjut di album-album berikutnya. Hingga saat ini tak kurang dari sebelas album yang telah dirilis Dhani bersama Dewa, yaitu Dewa 19 (1992), Format Masa Depan (1994), Terbaik Terbaik (1995), Pandawa Lima (1997), The Best Of Dewa 19 (1999), Bintang Lima (2000), Cintailah Cinta (2002), Atas Nama Cinta I & II (2004), Laskar Cinta (2004), Republik Cinta (2006), dan Kerajaan Cinta (2007).
