Max and Igor Cavalera revisited early Sepultura albums, ‘Morbid Visions,’ ‘Bestial Devastations,’ and ‘Schizophrenia,’ in recent years. But they seem to have no intention of re-recording any other material from their former band in the near future.
Questioned by Overdrive.ie’s Oran O’Beirne in a new interview, Max shared, “Fans have asked us that, and there’s both sides of the argument. Some people say we should do the other ones, but I think it’s okay. I think those three are the ones that really needed it, because they were done in Brazil.”
“Once [producer] Scott Burns got involved — I don’t have a problem with the ‘Beneath The Remains’ sound,” he continued. “I think it sounds great. It has that Scott Burns sound that is a stamp of the death metal sound of the era. And I wouldn’t dare touch ‘Chaos A.D.’ and ‘Roots.’”
“We kind of know our barriers and we know our limitations, which is good,” the vocalist explained. “Some bands don’t — some people don’t; they just keep going. I think we’re going to play it live, though. I would love to see a ‘Chaos A.D.’ tour, … That’s totally on the table. That’s on the table.”
Max Cavalera left Sepultura after the band parted ways with his wife and their manager Gloria in 1996. Igor remained in the lineup for another decade before leaving to join his brother in the Cavalera Conspiracy project.
The two brought in Travis Stone as lead guitarist and Igor Amadeus Cavalera as bassist for the ‘Morbid Visions,’ ‘Bestial Devastations,’ and ‘Schizophrenia’ re-recordings.
Meanwhile, Sepultura announced a ‘farewell tour’ to celebrate their 40th anniversary with current members Andreas Kisser, Derrick Green, Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr., and Greyson Nekrutman. They’ll be on the road until November 1.
