Metal Anarchy

As previously reported, Cavalera, the project featuring former Sepultura members Max and Iggor Cavalera, recently released re-recorded versions of Sepultura’s “Morbid Visions,” “Bestial Devastation,” and “Schizophrenia.” However, it appears guitarist Andreas Kisser is not a fan of the updated material. He says “the artistic value is zero.”

Kisser told IMPACT Metal Channel the following:

“I don’t think anything. I mean, it’s a weird choice that they had. I think artistic value is zero. Maybe they’re going for some money or something, but there’s no reason to do something like that. I much rather prefer THE TROOPS OF DOOM, the new band from Jairo [former SEPULTURA guitarist Jairo ‘Tormentor’ Guedz], which are doing a really amazing tribute to that era, very honest, doing new stuff, writing new music… But if they’re having a good time, so let it be. I don’t care, man. I just think it’s totally unnecessary. It’s really very disrespectful from themselves, for their own selves in the past.”

It’s weird to see a guy [Max] who always says, ‘Oh, I did this,’ ‘I did all that,’ ‘I’m so creative,’ and ‘I did everything by myself,’ and doing this shit, like re-recording riffs that we did 30, 40 years ago. It doesn’t click, the rhetoric with the example. But whatever. I just don’t think that — the artistic value is zero.”

In other news, Kisser also discussed the possibility of releasing new music after Sepultura’s farewell tour:

“Yes, we’re working on new songs, actually, with [new drummer] Greyson [Nekrutman]. We have an amazing chemistry. He’s an amazing musician, an amazing guy. We’re gonna put together, with the live album that we are recording, every show. The idea is to put together 40 songs in 40 different cities around the world. And together we’re gonna have four songs, new songs with Greyson, in this big package. So, yeah, we’re working on it. But we don’t have anything old, hidden or something. [SEPULTURA’s former record label] Roadrunner put it out already, everything [laughs], that we have in the vaults there.”

He also added the following when asked about the direction the band are heading in:

“The unexpectable. Wait and see. [Laughs] Who knows?”
