In a recent interview with Metal Hammer magazine, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser and vocalist Derrick Green were asked about their plans following the conclusion of the band’s ongoing 40th-anniversary “farewell” tour.
Andreas said: “I don’t know, and it feels great. I want to study acoustic guitar, and to create instructional material on the SEPULTURA music. I’ve done small things here and there, but not a complete overview of my guitar playing and writing. I will decide when the time comes, but right now it is time to celebrate the moment.”
Derrick added: “I want to do a lot more with the TV show I’m working on, ‘Highway To Health’. I’ve also been interested in doing voiceover work in animation or commercials. Musically, I’d like to do something outside of metal with more singing, but if somebody approaches with something I think is intriguing, I’m definitely open to that, because I never want to step away from music.”
When asked if they will still work together in the future, Andreas responded: “Nah. We only talk to each other by contract. When the contract is done, we’re done. [Laughs] No, of course there are a lot of possibilities. I would love to work with Derrick outside of SEPULTURA. We have the idea for a reggae project on the cards, which we have a great name for. The comfort zone is the worst thing that can happen to an artist. It would be boring to stop SEPULTURA and do something else that is SEPULTURA-like.”
As part of their extensive “Celebrating Life Through Death” farewell tour, SEPULTURA will tour North America this summer and fall. Joining them on the trek will be Florida-based death metal veterans OBITUARY, iconic New York hardcore pioneers AGNOSTIC FRONT, and São Paulo’s death/thrash metallers CLAUSTROFOBIA.
SEPULTURA‘s new touring drummer, Greyson Nekrutman, officially replaced longtime drummer Eloy Casagrande in February.
The farewell tour kicked off on March 1 at Arena Hall in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with a sold-out show marking the band’s debut performance with Nekrutman, who previously played with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.
