[[File:Sepultura in performance (Lisboa 2004).jpg|thumb|[[Andreas Kisser]] has been the lead guitarist of Sepultura since 1987. His arrival provided the group with a more technical experience.]]
In early 1987, Guedz quit the band and was replaced by São Paulo-based guitarist [[Andreas Kisser]].<ref>Barcinski & Gomes 1999, page 49.</ref> They released their second studio album, and debut with Kisser, ''[[Schizophrenia (Sepultura album)|Schizophrenia]]'', in October of that year. The album reflected a stylistic change towards a more thrash metal-oriented sound while retaining the death metal elements of ''Morbid Visions''. ''Schizophrenia'' displayed improved production and performance, and became a minor critical sensation across Europe and America as a much sought-after import. The band sent tapes to the United States that made radio playlists during a time when they were struggling to book gigs as club owners were afraid to book them because of their style.<ref name="Phoenix Times 1993-05-12"/> Sepultura gained attention from [[Roadrunner Records]], who signed them in the spring of 1988 and released ''Schizophrenia'' internationally before seeing the band perform in person.<ref name="AllMusic Bio"/><ref name="Angle 2024-04-03"/><ref name="Colon 1991-08-07">{{cite news|last=Colon|first=Suzan|title=Name That Tomb|url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/content/printVersion/233397|access-date=August 2, 2010|newspaper=Miami New Times|date=August 1, 1991|archive-date=March 16, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316021038/http://www.miaminewtimes.com/content/printVersion/233397/|url-status=dead}}</ref> About the deal with Roadrunner, Max Cavalera recalled to ''[[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]]'' magazine, "We were finally going to get a real label, real producer, real studio. Things were happening...and it was up to us to write the best material possible. And I think that charged everybody up and we went into the jam room with an attitude of let's not fuck around. This is our shot. You only get so many shots in this life, and you gotta make it count."<ref name="Angle 2024-04-03"/>

During a May 2018 interview with teenyrockers.com, Kisser noted that Sepultura would not have been possible without family support, not only from his own family, but also from the families of Max and Igor, and Paulo Jr.<ref>{{cite web|title=May 2018 Interview With Derrick Green and Andreas Kisser|url=https://teenyrockers.com/blogs/milk-hugs-rock-n-roll/teeny-rockers-presents-sepultura|website=Teenyrockers.com|date=May 14, 2018 }}</ref>
