During a new interview with Sakis Fragos of Rock Hard Greece, which can be seen below, vocalist / guitarist Max Cavalera – who fronted Sepultura from 1984 to 1996 – was asked if he has been approached by the current lineup of his former band to take part in Sepultura’s final show at the end of their current farewell tour. Max replied:
“I have not. In fact, I think I saw one thing Andreas (Kisser, Sepultura guitarist), of course said, like, ‘Why are we gonna ask them (Max and his brother, former Sepultura drummer Igor Cavalera to take part)? They’re gonna spoil the party,’ which is very typical of Andreas to say that. I don’t know. I think I’m gonna let things happen the way they’re gonna happen. I’m not gonna force anything, and if there comes a time where we feel that we should make a reunion — okay, fine, as long as we do it the right way. Just like with these re-recordings. I think we made them the right way — honest, proper, from the heart.”
“So right now I’m not thinking about that,” added Max. “I know they announced the end of the band. I don’t understand this idea. I don’t know if they were forced to do it, or if it’s a mutual decision of just stop playing ’cause you don’t wanna do it anymore. I don’t know. I myself cannot live without music. I need to play live. It’s like the air I breathe. I love what I’m doing right now with Igor, with Cavalera, and we’re gonna continue.”
