At the time, Sepultura were in England with Ozzy Osbourne, and after hearing the news, Ozzy and Sharon hired a private plane to shuttle Cavalera and his wife and manager, Gloria, back home. On August 16 at 1:43 a.m., Max's 21-year-old stepson, Dana Wells, was killed in a car accident in Phoenix, Arizona. Sepultura supported the gold record with a successful run on Ozzfest's main stage, then headed to Europe. The album represented the group's long-overdue infiltration of the mainstream music market after 12 long years spent pounding the pavement of the metal underground. In February of that year, the band released its sixth album, Roots, a bludgeoning tribal disc that reached No. The first seven months of 1996 were an amazing time for brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera, the founders of influential Brazilian death/thrash band Sepultura.
