In a new interview with the Australian podcast Everblack Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser commented on the successor to Quadra (2020), confessing that he has no plans for it at the moment.
“No new album for a few years,” the guitarist said (via Blabbermouth ). “We’re very focused on the live album, on the 40th anniversary celebrations. We’ll have a lot of things connected to that. We created a logo, so we want to stretch it out, we want to record the [live] album, celebrate, and then see what happens. I don’t want to force us to write just for the sake of writing. It has to feel like we have something new to express.”
He continued: “And I feel, and we feel, in Sepultura that the Quadra is still very powerful, very strong. Many people haven’t seen the album live, like in Australia, for example, so we want to go as far as we can. And it’s an incredible album to play live, so we want to make the most of the ‘Quadra’ situation and then we can move forward.”
Kisser also commented on the band's 40th-anniversary celebration: “We're recording everything. We started in Europe for the whole month; we recorded everything. We went to Indonesia and Singapore and recorded there, and now in Australia [at the upcoming Good Things festivals] as well. So we want to release 40 songs in 40 different cities around the world, covering everything we've done – of course, the classics, but also the B-sides and C-sides, and really tell a complete story and also show where we can go.”
"I mean, Sepultura has played in 80 countries in 40 years and we have fans all around the world, and I think it's about time we had a live album like this to celebrate 40 years with them, at our best. We feel great on stage. We're playing better than ever. We're having fun, so I think it will be a very special live album with all the recordings we're doing now. It's going to be incredible."
