"The band has had a huge influence on listeners, fans and fellow musicians, and we are excited to give NAMM attendees a unique opportunity to meet and mingle with Sepultura."

Since debuting 1984, Sepultura has enjoyed both critical and popular acclaim for albums including Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D., Roots and A-Lex. All-Music Guide called Sepultura "one of the leading creative trendsetters of the aggressive music scene" and stated, "Chaos A.D. ranks as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time."
