It looks like Sepultura’s Derrick Green is planning to push forward following the band’s farewell tour. The frontman recently told Heavy Matters that he is already putting together a new band.

Green said the following about his future plans:

“There’s so many possibilities, endless possibilities. I’ve always been into photography, and I will continue to do that. I’ve been really into fitness and health and this plant-based world, and I’ll continue doing that. And I will continue doing music. I definitely would love to do another band. And I’m putting that together as we speak.

Trying to align with certain people, it’s like starting from scratch — well, not necessarily from scratch, but it’s definitely a challenge to form that connection with people again — different people. After being with a band for so long — I’ve been especially with [Sepultura guitarist] Andreas [Kisser] and [Sepultura bassist] Paulo [Xisto Pinto Jr.] for so many years, since like 1998 — so it’s interesting to think back and then now be where we’re at, where it’s just, like, ‘Okay, I’ll try to find other people to jam with.’ It’s exciting, I have to say.”

He also added the following when asked if it will be similar to Sepultura or more hardcore:

“I was able to learn so much and take away so much being with Sepultura, and I will use different elements from that. Then, the hardcore, of course, it’s always flowing in my blood. And then also a lot of melodical-type stuff I was doing. I felt that I’ve grown and evolved in being able to do that. So I wanna have a mix of that, and for sure have a heavy groove on whatever it is I’m gonna do in the future. So I’m looking forward to really combining all those different elements.”
