Sepultura guitarist states that Cavalera brothers were invited to final show

As Sepultura gears up for their final tour, fans will be disappointed to learn that founding brothers Max Cavalera and Iggor Cavalera will not be part of the lineup. Guitarist Andreas Kisser revealed that efforts were made to bring the Cavalera brothers back into the fold for one last show, but they ultimately declined the invitation.

In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Kisser mentioned that he personally reached out to Iggor Cavalera to discuss the possibility of a reunion. Despite initial communication between the two parties and even involving their respective management teams in the discussion, the Cavalera brothers decided not to participate. While it may be disappointing for fans hoping for a full reunion, Kisser acknowledged that it was ultimately their choice.

Currently, Sepultura consists of Kisser, bassist Paulo Jr., and vocalist Derrick Green, with drummer Greyson Nekrutman joining the band in 2024 after Eloy Casagrande’s departure to join Slipknot. As they prepare to embark on their final North American tour starting in April, the band has yet to announce the date of their last performance.

In a twist of fate, the Cavalera brothers have regrouped and now perform together under the moniker Cavalera. Despite their decision not to join Sepultura for their farewell tour, fans of the siblings can catch them rocking out on stage with their new band.

As fans eagerly anticipate Sepultura’s final shows, the absence of the Cavalera brothers will undoubtedly be felt. However, the band’s decision to move forward with the musicians currently in the lineup showcases their commitment to providing fans with a memorable and powerful performance. While the reunion of the Cavalera brothers with Sepultura may not come to fruition this time around, their separate musical ventures continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.

As the final tour approaches, fans can expect an electrifying and emotional experience as Sepultura bids farewell to an era while looking ahead to new horizons. Without the inclusion of the Cavalera brothers, the band is poised to deliver a high-energy performance filled with nostalgia and new memories for fans to cherish for years to come.
