'' was the seventh LP by
Brazilian Thrash Metal band
Sepultura released in
1998 (
1998 In Music ) through
Roadrunner Records . It was the band's first release with new singer/guitarist
Derrick Green , who replaced
Max Cavalera in
1997 . This album featured
Groove Metal and
Hardcore Punk influences. ''Against'' was both a critical and commercial failure. Most criticism laid on Green's vocals, which many fans felt were inadequate, but also on the deterioration of the band's earlier
Thrash Metal persuasions, and the absence of complex
Riffs in favour of percussive grooves. Though their subsequent releases slowly got more praise, Sepultura has not achieved the same success with Green that they had with Cavalera. However, this is Sepultura's highest selling album with Green on vocals, with all their next studio albums having gradually less sales.
