SEPULTURA – Farewell Tour 2024

‘Celebrating Life Through Death’ 40 Years Farewell Tour

Cover shot – SEPULTURA

Sepultura  have issued the following statement…

Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe.

It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time.

After 4 decades filled with ups and downs, having visited 80 countries and countless different cultures, we’ve had the chance to become Brazil’s messenger to the world and spread our colours and rhythms worldwide. With our latest studio album  Quadra , a highlight of our career, we added an unforgettable chapter followed by the  SepulQuarta  experience that helped us to overcome the difficult times of the pandemic together. We will unite our forces for one final, strong farewell. And all of you can be a part of it.

During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage. We are happy and very grateful for everything we could witness within the past four decades. We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled.

We’ve always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation – we love you and always will!

Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!”

Full tour dates are to be announced.

Hailing from Belo Horizonte, Brazil and forming in 1984, Sepultura are arguably the most succesful and influential heavy metal band ever to hail from South America. They came to prominence with the rise of Death and Thrash Metal in the late 80s and early 90s

Sepultura have the kind of origins that one would never believe if it wasn’t true. The band were formed by the brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, sons of a well to do Italian diplomat whose tragic death left his family in financial ruin. However, the very same day that his father died, Max heard Black Sabbath Vol. 4 for the first time. The combination of events sparked an obsession with heavy metal and both brothers conspired to form a band soon after that.

They settled on the name Sepultura, the Portuguese word for “grave”, when Max translated the lyrics to the Motörhead song “Dancing On Your Grave”. However, the final and most crucial influence that the brothers discovered was Newcastle’s very own Venom, considered by many to be the worlds first black metal band. By 1984, both brothers dropped out of school to make the band work, and were signed to Cogumelo Records by 1985.

1986 saw the release of their debut album “Morbid Visions”, whose song “Troops Of Doom” gained the band national attention. The band relocated to the larger city of São Paulo to capitalise and the follow up album, 1987’s “Schizophrenia” did just that. It was the first record to make a name for the band in the United Kingdom and the States due to the radio play it received and critical notices it was getting in the metal press.

Crucially, it secured the band a deal with metal titans Roadrunner Records without the label ever seeing them perform live. Everything was set up in the bands favour, and with 1989’s “Beneath The Remains”, they knocked it out of the park. It was immediately hailed as a classic to rival Slayer’s “Reign In Blood” L.P and was the ticket they needed for their first shows outside of South America. Inside of South America they were massive on a barely comprehendible scale, their set at the 1991 Rock In Rio Festival attracted a reported 100’000 spectators.

After that, the band had a creative run of three albums that most bands in general, let alone metal bands, haven’t been able to touch before or since. “Arise”, “Chaos A.D” and “Roots” were all massively critically acclaimed and sold buckets but, as with all good things, it had to come to an end. Max Cavalera left the band in 1997 with some seriously bad blood left between him and the rest of the band and while the band have continued without him, they’ve never quite reached the acclaim they had while he was still in their ranks. Then again, few bands ever reach that level of acclaim so it’s unfair to compare.

The band are still an unmissable live act, with tracks like “Refuse/Resist”, “Arise” and “Roots Bloody Roots” still able to cause as ungodly a ruckus as they were always able to. Any metal fan would do well to catch them the next chance they get.

Live reviews

This is the third or fourth time I've seen Sepultura, each time with Derrick Green as frontman (who has now been in the band longer than Max Cavalera had been prior to his leaving in 1997), and the second time now in as many years. Any opportunity to see Sepultura perform is a treat, as they are always on top form, tight as a unit and are charismatic performers and consummate professionals who always clearly enjoy being up on stage and playing. This occasion was no different, and as this was a tour celebrating 30 years of Sepultura in action, my interest was especially piqued as to what surprises might be in store within their set.

Throughout this tour they have been performing a fairly diverse range of songs from most of their albums, with an emphasis on bringing up some very old tracks from the band's modest origins back in the mid and late 1980's, including tracks from 1985's "Bestial Devastation". This, for me, is something of a mixed bag, though, as although it's fun to hear some very old-school thrash/death-metal from the band's more basic earlier releases, the material itself doesn't really hold up as well until you get to tracks like Inner Self, from 1989's "Beneath The Remains" (a true 80's thrash classic album on a par with the best of Slayer or Metallica), and from then on their back catalogue is consistently littered with memorable and distinctive songs.

In contrast, and rather disappointingly, Sepultura's albums from the last fifteen years were largely ignored, with only individual tracks played from "Kairos" (2011), "Dante XXI" (2006) and newest release "The

Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart" (2013), with nothing from "Nation" (2001) (which is usually absent, except maybe for the anthemic "Sepulnation" on occasion), "Roorback" or "A-Lex". In part, this is obviously because of the inevitable compromise of keeping the set to a reasonable duration, and from the band's perspective it would make sense to stick to fan-favourites (several tracks from both "Chaos A.D (1993) and "Roots" (1996) were played, all excellent) in a live-context, but for me it's a shame that the set was not more reflective of their more recent achievements, which are just as important in the grand thirty-year story of Sepultura as any of the proto-death-metal from the 1980's. As a pleasant surprise however, the band played "Choke" from 1998's "Against" (in my view, a severely underrated, refreshing and experimental album that marked Derrick Green's introduction to the band), something I have always hoped to see the band play live again but until now had not.

Report as inappropriate

Sepultura, making me go as wild as a bunch of angry animals in a zoo since I first listened to them. They may have lost a bit of their style and authority ever since Max Cavalera but now they've come back at their very best with their new album The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart with Derrick Green and his powerful vocals and their new drummer with exceptional talent at just 23 years of age. His phenomenal ability is what struck me the most when seeing them at the Ritz. When going to see Sepultura, you are expecting to hear that loud and aggressive thrash metal which is classic of them, combined with the funky Brazilian samba beats meant to get the fans dancing like Capoeira people. When they play those samba songs, it is just out of the blue and suddenly the fans start getting curious and really willing to learn about their musical culture. The venue itself was tiny but the sound quality was truly awesome for a tiny place with only a capacity of 1,500. The drummer though, as I said, was just on fire that night. The vocalist with his bellowing scream also really impressed me and he is one of the only screamers I know that after more than 20 years of screaming really knows how to look after his voice compared to someone like Corey Taylor with Slipknot (because when I saw him last year at Download, he could barely scream at all.) The fans really looked lively and I could see "I'm Ready for this" written across their faces because when Sepultura are at their best, especially at The Ritz, it is a madhouse. Sepultura are so good at getting their fans going as they are always determined to steal the show and make their fans walk out at the end with the biggest smiles of their entire lives on their faces. This is by far the best of Brazilian metal I have heard in my entire life and with Sepultura I really think that other fans should see them as they will never disappoint anyone. I think that they have really found their feet again when it comes to wanting to give a spectacular performance.

Every time I see Sepultura it’s like being pleasantly kicked to death in the best possible way. The Brazilian Godfathers of Thrash bring it and bring it hard every single time.

Last night’s show was no exception. Starting off with the classic Troops of Doom, the show started in high gear and just got crazier from there. Full of favorites both old and new, the boys were in rare form and we all rocked all night. Unlike so many of today’s weaksauce metal bands, Sepultura needs no crazy sets or fancy costumes; you can tell these are hardworking passionate musicians who are there to get the job done. And what a job it was! Right up in the pit at the front of the stage is where I stayed.

The crowd last night was a fantastic one. They were hardcore but still friendly. Well, as friendly as you can be while slamming into someone else at high speed. Very considerate for all that, no one got trampled and there were always hands waiting to help you up if you fell. My one beef was with the venue. It seemed to me that the air conditioning was turn up too high. I mean, sure, you are going to sweat your face off when moshing but with a show like this, they should really crank the temperature down some. All in all, a great show, as usual with Sepultura.

What a gig, the first time Sepultura had been to New Zealand in 15 years! Sepultura arrived on stage with the eerie intro to The Vatican and as soon as they started playing they decimated it. The crowd was lapping up favourites such as Propaganda, Territory, Refuse/Resist, Roots Bloody Roots and even old school classics such as Inner Self, Arise and Dead Embryonic Cells. All the new songs fitted well amongst the classics and the drumming by Eloy Casagrande was nothing less than spectacular and well worth the ticket price alone!

What an amazing gig. All the bands were absolutely amazing. Was right down the front for the full gig with my 14yr old son and his friend but had to get out just before the end as the pit and crowd surfers were brutal lol also got to meet members from all of the bands and my son got a drumstick signed from Ben from Evile. Can't wait for next one.

Wow and more Wows. Death angel and sepultura playing together was awesome. Everyones heard of the big 4. Anthrax,megadeath,slayer,metalica. I call that night the big 2. Its the best ive been to in ozzy gigs. Im still sore from the mosh pit. And want to thank the guys for helping me up when i got nocked down. Fuck yeah

The venue is just perfect for outdoor concerts, and the bank took the opportunity to deliver a impressive and solid performance including the most important songs throughout their career. They have shown again why have remained in top for so long.

This show was postponed. Why is Songkick asking me for a review?

Sepultura Are Calling It Quits, Tease 2024 Farewell Tour

By Emmy Mack

Hot on the heels of wrapping up their 2023 Australian tour around Good Things Festival earlier this month, Sepultura have now announced a dramatic plan to call it quits.

The Brazilian metal icons will hang up their guitars after 40 years as a band, but not before one final, monumental, world tour.

“Sepultura has reached the end of the road”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SEPULTURA (@sepultura)

“Sepultura has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death,” the band posted in a big statement on their social pages.

“Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe. It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time.”

The band have already announced a stack of final dates for the UK and Europe to kick-off 2024. No word yet if one final Australian tour will figure onto the band’s final ever global itinerary, but given their long history of touring here, we reckon the odds should be in our favour.

“We are happy and very grateful for everything we could witness within the past four decades,” the band’s statement continues. “We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled.   “We’ve always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation – we love you and always will!”   Sepultura’s statement concludes: “Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!”

The band also plans to record 40 songs live in 40 cities across their final ever world tour, which will go on to be released as a compilation album after they wrap things up.

We’ll bring you more details on their forthcoming final ever world tour announcement as soon as we’re across it…

SEPULTURA Announces 'Farewell Tour' To Mark Band's 40th Anniversary

Brazilian/American metallers SEPULTURA will celebrate their 40th anniversary next year by embarking on a "farewell tour" which will cover the entire globe.

Starting in March 2024, SEPULTURA will spend 18 months celebrating the band's past and the present one final time.

In the works for two years, SEPULTURA 's final tour, titled "Celebrating Life Through Death" , promises mark a special moment in the band's rich and victorious history. The trek will start with dates in Brazil, and will include shows in Latin America and the United States, with the promise of additional dates to be revealed soon.

Says SEPULTURA : "After four decades filled with ups and downs, having visited 80 countries and countless different cultures, we've had the chance to become Brazil’s messenger to the world and spread our colors and rhythms worldwide. With our latest studio album 'Quadra' , a highlight of our career, we added an unforgettable chapter followed by the 'SepulQuarta' experience that helped us to overcome the difficult times of the pandemic together. We will unite our forces for one final, strong farewell. And all of you can be a part of it.

"During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage.

We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled.

"We've always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation — we love you and always will!

"Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!"

SEPULTURA comprises vocalist Derrick Green , guitarist Andreas Kisser , bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr. and drummer Eloy Casagrande .

SEPULTURA was formed in 1984 in Belo Horizonte, the capital city of Minas Gerais, by Cavalera brothers Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor (drums). Guitarist Jairo Guedz joined the group the following year and played on the band's first two releases, 1985's "Bestial Devastation" EP and their 1986 full-length debut, "Morbid Visions" . He also participated in the early songwriting sessions for 1987's "Schizophrenia" .

In early 1987, Jairo quit SEPULTURA and was replaced by São Paulo-based guitarist Kisser .

In 1996, Max exited SEPULTURA after the rest of the band split with Max 's wife Gloria as their manager.

Igor left SEPULTURA in June 2006 due to "artistic differences." His departure from the band came five months after he announced that he was taking a break from SEPULTURA 's touring activities to spend time with his second wife and their new son (who was born in January 2006).

SEPULTURA 's previous live albums include 2002's "Under A Pale Grey Sky" , 2005's "Live In São Paulo" and 2014's "Metal Veins - Alive In Rock In Rio" .

In a 2020 interview with Metal Imperium , Paulo was asked if he and his SEPULTURA bandmates had ever thought about retiring after a career that had already at that point lasted more than three and a half decades. He responded: "Not yet. I know this time will come, but there is still this motivation, this desire to be on the road.

"I know that we have been in the band for 36 years; it's a long career," he continued. "I know that time will come, but I hope it will take a few years yet. We still have health and energy to be on stage, which is what we love to do the most. For me, it's the best and most important part. Of course, a record marks a story, a period of our life, but the good thing, in my opinion, is to be on the road, to be traveling these countries, to present each album, to meet new people, different cultures. This is still very strong and present in our career."

Paulo added: "I hope we will be on the road for a few more years. I don't know how many, but you never know what might happen tomorrow. As long as we are healthy and strong, I believe we will continue on the road."

In a 2015 interview with Stay Tuned Interviews , Green was asked whether he could see himself touring around the world for the rest of his life. "Not at the pace that we're doing it now, because we're usually doing six shows a week, sometimes fourteen shows back to back," he responded. "I find that very difficult. I think everybody finds that very difficult in the band. I think less shows, more time off in between, I could see doing it for a much longer time. It takes a lot [out of] your body. It's really physical — to be on stage, to be traveling on a bus, sitting in airplane seats, traveling at crazy hours of the night, being away from family and friends. So I think it would have to be spread out more, but I don't see why it would be impossible to keep doing this and doing this. But forever? It's a long time. [ Laughs ]"

Asked how a musician is supposed to retire, Green said: "I don't know. It's a good question. I can't imagine retiring anytime soon. But I love music. I mean, I don't necessarily need to be on stage. I think a musician can write music off a stage and do many different styles of music. I mean, it's really open. Just being able to do something related to music, I think, is enough for a musician or an artist who's gotten older, just to be a part of it in some way."

Sepultura Announce Australian Tour

• Written by John Raptis

Share This:

It was the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil that launched the ascent of their native sons in SEPULTURA (Portuguese for “grave”) in 1983 with a trajectory unsuspectingly aimed at the worldwide metal music scene. A band with humble economic beginnings whose musical identity was forged in the context of living through Brazil’s authoritarian military dictatorship, SEPULTURA would go on to become Brazilian ambassadors to the metal world, revered master architects of the death/thrash genre, and the most successful and influential heavy metal band from the Federal Republic of Brazil.

Sepultura's Farewell Statement

Sepultura has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death. Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe. It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time. After 4 decades filled with ups and downs, having visited 80 countries and countless different cultures, we’ve had the chance to become Brazil’s messenger to the world and spread our colors and rhythms worldwide. With our latest studio album Quadra, a highlight of our career, we added an unforgettable chapter followed by the SepulQuarta experience that helped us to overcome the difficult times of the pandemic together. We will unite our forces for one final, strong farewell. And all of you can be a part of it. During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage. We are happy and very grateful for everything we could witness within the past four decades. We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled. We’ve always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation - we love you and always will! Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!

Formed in 1984, Sepultura largely helped to establish Brazil as a contender on the global metal stage. After recording two raw death-trash albums, they signed with Roadrunner Records and released  Beneath the Remains in 1986, one of the flagship thrash albums of its era.

As one of metal's most innovative groups in the '80s and into the '90s, the band never settled into one particular style, experimenting with new elements of extremity and heaviness along the way, leading up to their seminal 1996 record  Roots .

Vocalist and guitarist Max Cavalera departed the lineup after the release of  Roots , which led to Ohio vocalist Derrick Green joining as Sepultura's new frontman in 1998, where he's remained ever since, contributing to nine studio albums.

And so the heavy metal community prepares to say goodbye to yet another one of our favorite bands, fists raised until the end.

SEPULTURA announce breakup, farewell tour

Sepultura  are breaking up after they embark on a farewell tour in 2024. 

Next year marks the Brazilian metal band's 40th anniversary, and they're celebrating by heading out on an 18-month tour that's purported to be their last one ever. 

The band announced the shocking news in a press conference this morning (December 8th), where they expressed gratitude for their storied, at times complicated, career, and revealed that this epic journey of closure has been in the works for two years. 

Now, the band have issued a press release explaining the decision behind their split, and their plans for how they're going to bow out. See their full statement below. 

"Sepultura has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death.   "Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe. It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time.   "After four decades filled with ups and downs, having visited 80 countries and countless different cultures, we've had the chance to become Brazil's messenger to the world and spread our colors and rhythms worldwide.

"With our latest studio album  Quadra , a highlight of our career, we added an unforgettable chapter followed by the SepulQuarta experience that helped us to overcome the difficult times of the pandemic together. We will unite our forces for one final, strong farewell. And all of you can be a part of it.   "During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage.

"We are happy and very grateful for everything we could witness within the past four decades. We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled.   "We've always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation - we love you and always will!

"Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!"

Today, Sepultura have revealed the European, Latin American and Brazilian legs of their farewell tour, and you can see those dates down below via their Instagram.

Sepultura have had a long and, at times, rocky history. Formed in Brazil by brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera in the early 1980s, the band would eventually break out of the South American thrash underground when they caught the ear of Roadrunner Records, who issued several of their records in the late Eighties and early 1990s that rank among the greatest in metal history.

Alas, after 1996's  Roots , vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Max departed the band and was replaced by new frontman Derrick Green. His brother Iggor eventually exited in 2006, but this newly minted Sepultura lineup — with Green on the mic and lead guitarist Andreas Kisser taking over all guitar duties — have carried the band forward in the years since. 

Technically, the current iteration of Sepultura — Green, Kisser, longtime bassist Paulo Jr. and drummer Eloy Casagrande — features zero original band members. Throughout the last decade, the Cavalera Bros. have united on several occasions to perform Sepultura albums from their era of the band in full.
