In a surprising turn of events, Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser has publicly invited former members Max and Iggor Cavalera to participate in the band's final performance. This unexpected gesture comes as the Brazilian metal icons prepare for their farewell tour, set to conclude in 2026.
Speaking to Moshpit Passion, Kisser expressed his desire to bring together all ex-members for a grand finale in São Paulo, Brazil. "We'd like to invite all the former members, including the Cavalera brothers," Kisser stated, emphasizing the importance of creating a memorable experience for fans.
The invitation is particularly noteworthy given the well-documented tensions between Sepultura and the Cavalera siblings following their departures from the band. Kisser acknowledged the past conflicts but stressed the need to move beyond them. "We don't care who is right or wrong," he said, adding, "We have different points of view about the same historical events."
Kisser's olive branch extends beyond mere reconciliation, as he envisions a celebratory jam session to honor Sepultura's legacy. "Let's have a good time for the fans, for us, and really close this amazing 43 or 44 years in peace with ourselves," the guitarist proposed.
The announcement of Sepultura's disbandment in December 2022 shocked many fans. Kisser recently elaborated on the decision, citing personal experiences and a desire to end the band on their own terms.
As Sepultura embarks on their final journey, the potential reunion with the Cavalera brothers adds an intriguing element to their farewell. Whether this olive branch will be accepted remains to be seen, but it offers a glimmer of hope for fans dreaming of one last performance featuring the band's most iconic lineup.
