Description: Schizophrenia is the second studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released in 1987 through Cogumelo Records. It is the first album of the band with Andreas Kisser. The album's sound leans more towards the thrash metal genre than the previous album Morbid Visions, which is closer to death metal. All songs were recorded during August 1987, except for the bonus track "Troops of Doom" which was recorded during August 26–27, 1990.
In America the band sent radio playlists at a time when they were struggling to book gigs because club owners were afraid to book them due to their style. Roadrunner Records signed them and released Schizophrenia internationally before seeing the band perform in person.
