Brazilian metal superstars, Sepultura, have signed to BMG for the release of their forthcoming new album, Quadra, in Latin America.

Formed in 1984, Sepultura have released fourteen studio albums including 1993’s groundbreaking Chaos AD. They have sold over three million units in the United States and almost 20 million worldwide, gaining multiple gold and platinum records around the globe, including France, Australia, Indonesia, United States, Cyprus, and their native Brazil.

Said the band, “We signed with BMG because we believe in their modern and fair business model. In addition, they value the past of Sepultura and believe in the future of the band.”

The signing of Sepultura in their home market is a significant achievement for BMG as it builds its recordings business in Brazil.

BMG Brazil General Manager Jasmina Zammit said, “Sepultura is one of the few Brazilian bands to have enjoyed global success over decades. They have achieved iconic status in the heavy metal scene and beyond. I feel very honored they have chosen BMG as their partner.”
