Could a classic Sepultura<\/a><\/strong> lineup reunion actually happen at one of the band’s farewell shows? Nothing is set in stone, but the two generally opposing parties \u2013 longtime Sepultura<\/a><\/strong> guitarist Andreas Kisser<\/strong> and former Sepultura<\/a><\/strong> frontman Max Cavalera<\/strong> \u2013 both seem down to do it.<\/p>\n In a new interview with Metal Hammer<\/a><\/em>, Kisser<\/strong> said he’ll only have the Cavalera<\/strong> brothers join the band once more if it’s a positive celebration, and a good one at that.<\/p>\n “I won’t deny that it would be great to have a very last show with their participation, but it has to be great,” said Kisser<\/strong> “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<\/a><\/strong> of today. If they want to be a part of it, it would be amazing.”<\/p>\n Kisser<\/strong>‘s comments follow Cavalera<\/strong>‘s comments in a recent chat with Rock Hard Greece<\/em>, where Cavalera<\/strong> said he’s open to it but hasn’t been approached. Cavalera<\/strong> also touched on some comments made by Kisser<\/strong> in 2023 \u2013 namely his answer about if there’d ever be any semblance of a reunion: “No, why would we do that? To ruin the party?”<\/a><\/p>\n “I have not [been approached]. In fact, I think I saw one thing Andreas<\/strong>, of course said, like, ‘Why are we gonna ask them? They’re gonna spoil the party,’ which is very typical of Andreas<\/strong> to say that,” said Cavalera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “I don’t know. I think I’m gonna let things happen the way they’re gonna happen. I’m not gonna force anything, and if there comes a time where we feel that we should make a reunion \u2014 okay, fine, as long as we do it the right way. Just like with these re-recordings [of early Sepultura<\/a><\/strong> albums]. I think we made them the right way \u2014 honest, proper, from the heart.”<\/p>\n He continued: “So right now I’m not thinking about that [a reunion]. I know they announced the end of the band. I don’t understand this idea. I don’t know if they were forced to do it, or if it’s a mutual decision of just stop playing ’cause you don’t wanna do it anymore. I don’t know. I myself cannot live without music. I need to play live. It’s like the air I breathe.<\/p>\n For those not up on their metal history, Sepultura<\/a><\/strong> was founded by frontman Max Cavalera<\/strong> and his brother, drummer Igor Cavalera<\/strong>, in 1984. Max<\/strong> parted ways with Sepultura<\/a><\/strong> in 1996 and has since been replaced by vocalist Derrick Green<\/strong>, while Igor<\/strong> stuck around until 2006 and was initially replaced by Jean Dolabella<\/strong>. Neither Max<\/strong> nor Igor<\/strong> have ever reunited with the band since their departures.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
