fans of Severe already have dates planned to accompany the tour of the album Block, which resumes this year with trips to places like São Paulo, Santos, Belo Horizonte and Manaus. Released in 2020, the album is the motto of the performances that take place in April by the group formed by Andreas Kisser (guitar), Derrick Green (vocals), Paulo Xisto Jr. (bass) and Eloy Casagrande (drums). Tour ticket sales are now available (Full tickets and dates here).

the disc Block was inspired by the predecessor Machine Messiah, released in 2017, considered a different record in the history of Sepultura, with the use of unusual elements. Andreas points out that Block is the consequence of the growth of Sepultura as a group and that this album allowed them to explore new possibilities. “The A side is more traditional, thrash metal, which represents Sepultura’s speech, but with new elements; B is more percussive, with Brazilian rhythms; C goes a little further with the guitar, with the instrumental as the general characteristic; and the D is this more groovy, slow, melodic stuff,” he explains.

Recorded in Sweden, the album is produced, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, who had already participated in the Machine Messiah. “Working with Bogren is sensational and has been fundamental. The producer is the fifth member of the group inside the studio. He expanded the idea of ​​corals, ropes. It was a tough record to make, but we were prepared,” says Kisser. The main novelty was the participation of Emily Barreto, of the band Far From Alaska, who shares vocals with Derrick on the closing track.

The word “field” can be used with different connotations, among which is to define “sports field”, a delimited area with regulatory demarcations, where, according to a set of rules, the game takes place. “We all come from different backgrounds – countries and nations with their borders and traditions, their culture, their religions, their laws, their upbringing and a set of rules in which life unfolds. Our personalities, our beliefs, our way of life, the construction of societies and relationships… It all depends on this set of rules that we grew up with,” explains Kisser.

In August 2021, Sepultura releases the album Sepulwednesday, created from a weekly chart that the group promotes on its YouTube channel. The band had a date with the fans and brought special guests every Wednesday to chat and jam sessions virtual. In Sepulwednesdaythe group, which has been rolling for more than 35 years, revisited its classic repertoire, but also played songs that do not usually appear in setlists. All of this was done with special appearances from names like João Barone (Os Paralamas do Sucesso), Matt Heavy (Trivium) and Scott Ian (Anthrax), among others.

In 2022, the band toured extensively for Block in the United States and also in Europe. This year, Sepultura returns to these places, respectively, between May and June and, later, in August (details here).
