Brazilian thrash metal heavyweights SEPULTURA, posted the title track from their upcoming album "Kairos," out June 24th via Nuclear Blast Records.



In a recent interview conducted by Sonic Shocks with front man Derrick Green; the current Sepultura singer confirms that rumors about a reunion with former members Max and Igor Cavalera will not happen; stating:

"That's all they are, rumors. I mean nobody has contact with him or anyone in his band. And he's doing his own thing. The reunion, I think, is with his brother (Igor). I'm happy to see Igor with his family again. It was 10 years that they didn't speak. I think for the people that really wanted the reunion, there it is. They can go see them and check that out and be happy because I know that we are happy in what we're doing and we keep pushing forward and we keep doing what we love to do and we're always going to represent SEPULTURA in a positive manner because it's truly what we believe in. Those guys are going to do what they're going to do and the best of luck to them. But there's definitely nothing like that happening as far as the reunion; it's just really something far away from any of our ideas because we're really content."

Apparently ANDREAS KISSER is now stating that a SEPULTURA reunion with the original line up is not impossible; just after a few weeks ago, when the band uploaded a video, specifically indicating that a Sepultura reunion "Will NOT Happen."

Andreas is now claiming that it's "not impossible," but can't just be done for the sole purpose of a "reunion." Stating that it has to be done right. Further stating: "Max has been talking a lot about this reunion [in recent interviews], perhaps because his other bands, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY and SOULFLY, are not as good as SEPULTURA."

What it really sounds like, is a bad case of egos colliding (and dollar signs ultimately ruling). If a SEPULTURA reunion ever does happen. It'll probably end up being a very awkward one. How about we forget all this media back talk, and get excited about the new CAVALERA CONSPIRACY album instead.

Max Cavalera has been all over the media lately, talking about a possible reunion with the original Sepultura line-up, stating that he even spoke to former bandmate Andreas Kisser over the phone about the idea, which he was apparently on board with. And then in a recent interview with Sonic Excess, Max went on the record; stating that:

"the only person preventing it (A Sepultura reunion) is [Bassist] Paulo Jr."

The current line-up of Sepultura decided to put together a video before their headlining performance at the 16-year anniversary of the Manifesto Bar in São Paulo, Brazil. Where the band performed their classic 1991 album "Arise" in it's entirety. Clearing up all the rumors and putting any possibility of a reunion to sleep.

Andreas Kisser did all the talking, which seemed a little harsh, but he did send the message across, that the rest of the original Sepultura line-up (which is basically Andreas and Paolo Jr.) are happy with their recent deal with Nuclear Blast, and are currently working on a new record.



Andreas and Paulo recently attended a Cavalera Conspiracy show in Brazil, which was Max's first show in his homeland since 2002.
