In a new interview with Australia's Everblack podcast, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser spoke about his plans for after the completion of the legendary Brazilian/American metal band's 'Celebrating Life Through Death' farewell tour.
He stated that he has many ideas, including his other bands DE LA TIERRA and KISSER CLAN, as well as a radio show with his son in São Paulo, Brazil.
Kisser also mentioned his movement to stimulate people to talk about dying, a taboo subject in Brazil and around the world.
In the interview, Kisser talked about SEPULTURA's new EP 'The Cloud Of Unknowing', which came out on April 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.
He explained that the band chose to release new music while preparing to put the group to rest because they wanted to fulfill their last wishes and go to places they had always wanted to visit.
Kisser also discussed SEPULTURA's decision not to make a full-length album, citing that there is no law requiring them to do so.
He mentioned that the EP format fit the band's current situation and that they were able to improvise and record new music in Miami with drummer Greyson Nekrutman.
Prior to 'The Cloud Of Unknowing"'s arrival, SEPULTURA released two singles from the EP: 'The Place' and 'Beyond The Dream'.
SEPULTURA collaborated on the latter with Sérgio Britto and Tony Bellotto of TITÃS.
SEPULTURA kicked off its farewell tour on March 1, 2024 at Arena Hall in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The sold-out show marked the band's debut performance with Nekrutman, who previously played with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.
The news of Eloy Casagrande's departure from SEPULTURA came just two months after the band announced it would celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024 by embarking on a 'farewell tour' which would cover the entire globe.
SEPULTURA is putting together a live album commemorating its last run of shows.
The final North American leg of SEPULTURA's 'Celebrating Life Through Death' tour will feature support from thrash legends EXODUS, hardcore heavyweights BIOHAZARD, and newcomers TRIBAL GAZE.
The trek will kick off on April 29 in Montclair, New Jersey and will visit major cities across the U.S.
and Canada, including Montreal, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles, before concluding on May 29 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.
Along the way, SEPULTURA will also perform at major festivals, including Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple.
