In a recent chat with Rock Hard Greece, Sepultura’s Max Cavalera was asked if the current crew of the band has reached out to him about joining in on Sepultura’s last gig at the end of their farewell tour. The rocker revealed that he wasn’t asked about it, but still set a condition for a possible reunion. He replied:
“I have not [been approached]. In fact, I think I saw one thing Andreas [Kisser] of course said, like, ‘Why are we gonna ask them [Max and former Sepultura drummer Igor Cavalera to take part]? They’re gonna spoil the party,’ which is very typical of Andreas to say that.”
He added that if done properly, he would consider joining:
“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.”
Cavalera Is ‘Busy With Other Projects’
After leaving Sepultura, Cavalera stayed active in music, starting bands like Soulfly, Nailbomb, and Killer Be Killed.
Back in February 2023, during a chat with Rock Interview Series, the rocker talked about the chance of getting the original Sepultura lineup back together. He mentioned:
“I’m very, very busy right now with all the projects, ’cause I’ve got so many — Soulfly being my main band, but also Go Ahead And Die with my son Igor, and Killer Be Killed. And I’m already playing a lot of the old stuff with my brother; that, to me, right there, it fills the void anyway. So, yeah, I don’t think about that at all. At this moment, I don’t need to do anything like that. I think at this moment I’m so busy with the stuff that I have in front of me, and the fans love all the stuff that I’ve been doing anyway. There’s no point, really.”
