Schizophrenia is the second studio album by Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura, released on October 30, 1987 by Cogumelo Records. It is the first album for the band with Andreas Kisser. The album's sound leans more towards the death/thrash metal genre than the previous album Morbid Visions, which is stylistically closer to black metal.[2][1] All songs were recorded during August 1987. The reissue of 1990 has a bonus track "Troops of Doom" which was recorded during August 26–27, 1990.
In America the band sent radio playlists at the time when they were struggling to book gigs because club owners were afraid to book them due to their style.[3] Roadrunner Records signed them and released Schizophrenia internationally before seeing the band perform in person.[4][5]
The album was re-recorded by Cavalera, featuring original Sepultura members Max and Igor Cavalera, for release on 21 June 2024.[6]
