Sepultura was formed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil back in 1984 by the brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera. During that first year the bassist Paulo Jr. also joined them and the band’s classic line-up would be complete three years later when the guitarist Andreas Kisser was recruited. Those were the musicians who recorded the band’s most successful albums: “Beneath The Remains” (1989), “Arise” (1991), “Chaos A.D” (1993) and “Roots” (1996).
After a big fight in 1996, the band’s vocalist and guitarist Max Cavalera decided to leave the band and one year later, the American vocalist Derrick Green joined the band. The drummer Iggor stayed in the band until 2006 until he also decided to leave the band. Since then, the group remained active with Paulo, Andreas and Green, being accompanied by many other drummers. This year, the Brazilian group announced that the group would come to an end and recently, Max Cavalera said in an interview that he would be open to join them during the band’s final concert.
Talking with Metal Hammer, Andreas Kisser said that Sepultura would welcome the brothers Max and Iggor on the final show of the tour if they want to be part of it.
Andreas Kisser said about having Max and Iggor Cavalera at the final Sepultura show
“I won’t deny that it would be great to have a very last show with their participation, but it has to be great. It has to have people who are there to celebrate and not trying to discuss who was right or wrong on decisions from the past. In the end, we are celebrating now as the Sepultura of today. If they want to be a part of it, it would be amazing,” Andreas Kisser said.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
