According to Sepultura’s long-time guitarist Andreas Kisser, the band’s founding members Max and Iggor Cavalera have turned down the chance to feature at the extreme metal outfit’s farewell show later this year.

The Cavalera brothers founded Sepultura in 1984, and hired Kisser as an additional guitarist three years later. The trio worked together until 1996, when guitarist Max left following a fallout with his brother. Then, in 2006, drummer Iggor left the band and rekindled his relationship with Max in Cavalera Conspiracy.
