Amidst Sepultura , during their European leg, Andreas Kisser , in an interview with Moshpit Passion , commented on what the band's farewell tour has been like and the possibility of calling brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera to finish the tour.
Andreas also spoke a bit about how the recording of Sepultura's live album is going (transcribed by Blabbermouth ): “It's going very well. We've managed to record all the shows since we started. Even with Eloy [ Casagrande ], we were already recording a lot of material. But when Greyson [ Nekrutman ] joined the band in March of this year — the first show was on March 1st in Brazil, in this 40th-anniversary celebration — of course, with a new drummer, a new chemistry emerges. It will still take some time to improve.”
And he continues: “Now we are in a very good position, because we played a lot in Brazil, we played in Latin America, we did two shows in South Korea, the United States, Canada. Now we are in Europe. We are returning to Brazil to finish the year with five more dates, and we are recording everything. It's great. We haven't stopped to select the tracks yet, because the idea is to release 40 songs recorded in 40 different cities. So, it's a big challenge, but yes, we managed to go to several different cities. I think we'll have a better idea of when and how it will be released maybe at the beginning of next year.”
When asked about what the band is planning for the final show of the tour, the guitarist commented that he wasn't sure if it would be included in the recordings, but he assured that it would be great to record the final show, planned for São Paulo in 2026. "We want to invite all the former members, including the Cavalera brothers. We'll see what happens. We're working to make it a great celebration for the fans," commented Andreas.
Despite acknowledging the turbulent split with Max Cavalera almost 30 years ago, the guitarist states: “It doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong. We’ll never reach a consensus. [Laughs] We have different points of view and different perspectives on the same historical events. So, let’s play together, have fun for the fans, for ourselves, and end these incredible 43 or 44 years, whatever that means at the moment, at peace with ourselves, and pursue something different after that. At least, from my point of view, I want to continue with music, but maybe do something different. Who knows?”
With new projects on the horizon, Andreas makes it clear that music will remain a vital part of his career, while Sepultura's legacy will be remembered as one of the most intense and enduring chapters in the history of metal.
