Back in May, we found out that Max Cavalera spoke with Andreas Kisser about a potential reunion of the classic Sepultura line-up but Andreas refused/resisted. It seemed like the talks of a reunion soured when dealing with specifics, like tour crew and management. One would think that these guys ultimately are still carrying years worth of resentment as well.
Which makes it sort of shocking that Andreas and current Sepultura vocalist Derrick Green attended Brazil's SWU Music and Arts Festival, which featured Cavalera Conspiracy's first Brazlian performance. Andreas was spotted watching the band. CC pretty much mixes tracks of their debut album, Inflikted with old classic Sepultura tunes so it's interesting to see that Andreas made it out for that. I really wish I could be there to see how he reacted to Max playing those tunes.
Footage has cropped up from a Brazilian news report of drummer Igor Cavalera hanging out with Derrick Green calling the current Sepultura frontman one of his "real, real friends for life" so they clearly still get along. I have to wonder out loud Max and Andreas were chatting as well, perhaps behind closed doors. I would love to see a classic Sepultura reunion but ultimately, I think it's probably too late. I mean, what the hell would Derrick do? Stand off to the side and watch? It would be too weird. Maybe if the money is even greater, and one of them goes broke it could happen, but for right now it doesn't seem probable.
