Roots is a groove metal and nu metalalbum that incorporates strong elements of aforementioned nu metal,thrash metal,death metal,world music,various Brazilian musical styles (including Brazilian folk music),tribal music,and ambient field recordings.All of the songs on Roots draw from these styles, with the band often blending them in unconventional ways and at times super-imposing them onto one another through creative mixing and editing in post-production.Several songs feature Brazilian instrumentation that had up to that point never been used by a metal band (certainly not one of Sepultura's stature), and the album is peppered with ensemble percussion sections played by the band along with Carlinhos Brown.
