Cu 13 materiale discografice de studio la activ, brazilienii au vandut milioane de albume in cei 30 de ani de cariera.
Albume de succes precum "Arise" (1991), "Chaos A.D." (1993) si "Roots" (1996) au intrat in cultura muzicala a oricarui iubitor al genului, iar piese precum "Roots, Bloody Roots", "Arise","Refuse Resist","Ratamahatta","Territory" si "Attitude" se regasesc in playlistul oricarui fan al muzicii metal, de mai bine de 30 de ani. Cel mai recent material de studio al trupei, "Machine Messiah", a fost lansat in urma cu cateva luni si se regaseste deja in topul celor mai bune albume metal ale anului.
