Sepultura is calling it quits in 2025 and one big question is constantly looming – will the band reunite with former frontman Max Cavalera and former drummer Igor Cavalera for one last show? So far the answer from Max has been a resounding "no," but Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser is extending the invite anyway.
In an interview with Moshpit Passion, Kisser addressed if the band's final show will be included in their farewell live album before inviting the Cavalera brothers to join the band on stage.
"Who knows? Everything is possible. We did three big shows in São Paulo before we went to the States. And we recorded the whole show — the cameras, DVD and stuff. Of course, this stuff that we're recording for the live album is audio only. And we are planning to have the last farewell show in São Paulo in 2026, so we like to go places, we like to visit places that we've never been before. We like to do our goodbye in a relaxed mood — no hurry. There's no reason really to rush anything. We are enjoying the moment so much. We are celebrating the momentum. It's fantastic. It's amazing.
"So it's something that is gonna be on the recording as well, this great vibe, the connection we have with the crowd and stuff. But, yeah, everything is possible. I mean, of course, the last show, [it] would be great to have a register. We like to invite all the ex-members, including the brothers, Cavalera brothers. Let's see what happens. We're working towards that, to have a big celebration for the fans."
Max Cavalera left Sepultura in 1996, while Igor Cavalera stuck around for another 10 years and left in 2006. The Cavalera brothers have since launched projects together, their most recent being re-recordings of the first three Sepultura releases. Kisser continued, acknowledging that Sepultura and the Cavalera brothers will probably never see eye to eye, and that a hypothetical final jam would be for the fans – not for the band.
"We don't care who is right or wrong. We're never gonna get to that point. We have different point of views and different perspectives about same historical events and stuff. So let's jam, let's have a good time for the fans, for us, for ourselves, and really close this amazing 43 years or 44, whatever it's gonna be at the time, in peace with ourselves, and really reach for something different afterwards. At least in my point of view, I like to, of course, continue with music and everything, but maybe do something different. Who knows?"
