At the height of Sepultura's fame, however, a series of events broke the band apart. First, lead singer Max Cavalera's wife (and the band's manager), Gloria, was shocked to discover her teenage son had died in a car crash. Max and Gloria left the rest of the band onstage to go back to America, and upon their return, told Max they wanted new management. Cavalera left the band, and the others announced that they were searching for a replacement. A recording of Max's last show with the band was later released as a live album, Under A Pale Grey Sky. Derrick Green of Cleveland wound up filling that spot, and the band released Against in 1998 ( 1998 in music). Compared to their previous efforts, Against was a critical and commercial failure, as was the follow-up Nation. Cavalera formed a band called Soulfly, which has toured and recorded to some acclaim.
