Derrick Green (born January 20, 1971) is the vocalist for the metal band Sepultura, whom he joined on the departure of their previous vocalist Max Cavalera in 1997.

Life and work

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Derrick was a singer for thrash metal/hardcore band Outface (with guitarist Charlie Gerriga of CIV, and Frank Cavanagh of Prong and Filter among others), Krop Acid and several other hardcore bands of which Alpha Jerk was his latest band.

He was a guest vocalist on a few CDs including Integrity 2000 from the hardcore band Integrity, Biohazard's Uncivilization and the soundtrack of the Brazilian movie Lisbela e o Prisioneiro.

Derrick is a vegetarian and has been for the past 23 years. He made this publicly clear in a PETA video interview regarding Sepultura's 2006 video of their song "Convicted in Life". Derrick himself stated in the interview that the subject of this video is that some kind of "karma" is inflicted on those that damage the environment and its wildlife.

The extremely graphic video depicts how he describes a "sort of hell" where pig slaughterers and chicken harvesters are forced to suffer for their actions in their past life, with also very large and dramatically graphic references to the Dark Wood of Error and the first parts concluding onto Dante's Inferno.

In 2008 he joined Musica Diablo, a thrash metal band with members of Nitrominds, Acão Direta and Dead Fish. [1]
