Sepultura reunion… possible?

There’s one I didn’t see coming. As you may know, Max Cavalera kept talking and talking and talking about a possible Sepultura reunion of the old line-up. Sepultura on the other hand made it clear that they don’t want to reunite with the Cavaleras.

That’s where we stood in December but it’s 2011, bitch, and the cards are being reshuffled. In a new interview with Andreas Kisser, Sepultura guitarist and the guy who told Max Cavalera to move on and stop talking bullshit just a couple of weeks ago, said this;

“[It’s] not impossible, but we cannot do something just for the sake of doing it. We would have to establish a new identity, [and rebuild the] friendship [between us].”
“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. But if a reunion was to take place, it would have to be something decent. And only time will tell [if something like that can happen].”

If you speak Portuguese, go here for the whole interview.

So much for staying true to your word. Is this a Shyamalan movie or where did this twist come from?

Max Cavalera… Sepultura… yawn…

This got old three weeks ago. Max Cavalera, of Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy, formerly of Sepultura, still talks about reuniting with Sepultura, even though they made it clear that they don’t want to reunite with him and that they just want him to stop talking “bullshit”.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Cavalera talked about the reunion and that was just a couple of days after Sep posted their statement. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn’t see, read or hear their statement at the time. As of right now, someone in his camp surely should have told him about it, right? Well, it doesn’t seem so, because he still talks about it;

“People are asking me about this reunion thing. I’ve said many times before that I’d like to do it and I don’t even need to do it because both of my bands are doing really good — Cavalera Conspiracy and Soulfly are doing so good that I don’t even need a Sepultura reunion for my life. But I’d like to do it for the fans because they’re asking for it so much.”

Eh, I don’t have to add anything to that, do I? I will just say this: this is my last article about this ‘reunion’ debacle, unless it turns into a huge bitchfight, because I already almost fell asleep during writing this, I can’t imagine how you must feel.

Max Cavalera is deaf and/or blind

That’s the only explanation I have for Mr. what-the-fuck-is-going-on-with-your-hair Cavalera still talking about reuniting with Sepultura, even though they made it pretty clear that they’re not interested.

Recently, MTV2’s Posers Ball Headbangers Ball conducted an interview with Max Cavalera and Mr. Soulfly had the following to say;

“When the classic four was together, it was really powerful. And I tried my best — I convinced Igor to go back; I said, ‘Would you come if I was involved?’ And I talked to Andreas. And Andreas seemed interested at first and then after that it got weird; lawyers started getting involved and shit like that. So I don’t know. And I read somewhere that the one that doesn’t wanna do it is Paulo. [Laughs] Which is, like… I don’t know what his gig is; I don’t know what his problem is. I would just like to [reunite the classic Sepultura lineup] — just for my fans. Show them what this band was all about.”

So either Max is deaf, watched the video of Andreas Kisser declaring that he’s tired of Max’s bullshit and simply didn’t understand a word and thought “Hey, I’m pretty sure they’re talking about reuniting with me. Why else would the new guy look that sad and not say a thing?” or he’s blind and couldn’t read our article.

Yes, I just plugged my old article twice and boom, there I did it again. I’m just trying to help Max Cavalera here.

Sepultura won’t reunite with Max

I predicted it and boy, was I right. Before Sepultura took the stage to play ‘Arise’ in its entirety for the first time, they recorded a video for their fans, addressing Max Cavalera, among other things.

“Don’t listen to fucking rumors anymore. We are tired of listening to this fucking bullshit that Max [Cavalera] is saying all over the world, that there’s gonna be a reunion  and this and that. We’re here to say there’s no communication, there’s no talks about any type of reunion or any show with the Cavaleras. Igor is doing his job, Max is supposed to do his job, and we are doing our job.

We are Sepultura for 26 years and we celebrating this with a new album, a new deal and a new world tour. And I hope this is the end of fucking rumors and fucking lies, OK?!”

What the video after the jump.

I guess, this puts all rumors to rest. Someone ask Max Cavalera if a reunion is still happening. He seems to know more about the future of Sepultura than Sepultura themselves.

Who's to blame for Sepultura not reuniting?

Does anyone even remember the old, the one true, Sepultura? You know, that band that featured both Cavalera brothers. No, not Cavalera Conspiracy, even though that’s how Sepultura should sound like nowadays.

Do young metalheads, who got into heavier music because of Soulfly’s work with Fred Durst, even know that Max Cavalera used to be a Death Metal vocalist? Yes, seriously.

Now, who’s to blame for Sepultura not reuniting? Who’s to blame that we’re not getting great music, instead of awful albums about A Clockwork Orange?
