Sepultura were formed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in 1984 by Calavera brothers Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor (drums). The early 90s saw them became one of the world’s foremost extreme metal bands, and although the Cavaleras both departed – Max to form Soulfly in ’96, Igor a decade later – Sepultura refused to die.
Guitarist Andreas Kisser, a member since 1987, explains why in their fortieth-anniversary year it’s time to undergo what the band term “euthanasia, the right to a dignified death”.
