"Roots Bloody Roots" is Sepultura's seventh official single, and the first of three to be taken from the album Roots, released in 1996. The song is the band's best-known, and remains a concert staple to this day. A music video was filmed for the single which features the band performing in an underground cave as well as on the streets with a tribe of percussionists. This video can be found on the VHS We Are What We Are, which was later released on DVD as part of Chaos DVD. In addition to the song being Sepultura’s most popular, it also one of the most widely recognized metal songs of the 90’s.

The song also appears in live form on the band's live releases Under A Pale Grey Sky and Live In Sao Paulo. It also appears live as a B-side on the single release and the compilation Blood-Rooted. Another live version appears on the limited edition digipak version of the band’s 2000 album Nation. Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera has also played the song live numerous times with his other band Soulfly. Recordings of their version can be found on the limited edition versions of the albums Soulfly and Prophecy, as well as on the DVD "The Song Remains Insane".

Artwork

The cover of the single sees the band in silhouette against a red sky. This photgraph is also used as the cover of the Blood-Rooted album. The inside cover features a picture of the band from their session recording with the Xavante tribe.

Releases

The single was released on 2 CDs and 7” vinyl. The first CD was presented in a card foldout digipak case, while the second was in a standard slimline jewel case. Early copies of the digipak version were embossed with a stamp of the band’s thorned ‘S’ logo. The vinyl was a strictly limited edition and was red in colour.
