Sepultura is currently out on the road for their lengthy farewell tour… which means that everyone in Sepultura is gonna have to figure out what they're doing with their lives post-Sepultura pretty soon.
In an interview with Metal Hammer, Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser and vocalist Derrick Green discussed some of their post-band plans. Kisser said he's not 100% sure what he'll be doing, while Green mentioned he'll dive headfirst into his TV show
Kisser: "I don't know, and it feels great. I want to study acoustic guitar, and to create instructional material on the Sepultura music. I've done small things here and there, but not a complete overview of my guitar playing and writing. I will decide when the time comes, but right now it is time to celebrate the moment."
Green: "I want to do a lot more with the TV show I'm working on, Highway To Health. I've also been interested in doing voiceover work in animation or commercials. Musically, I'd like to do something outside of metal with more singing, but if somebody approaches with something I think is intriguing, I'm definitely open to that, because I never want to step away from music."
Kisser then joked that he'd never work with Green again before revealing the two might start up a reggae band. Why reggae, you might ask? Because they've been making heavy metal for so damn long that making even more would be boring. Fair enough!
"We only talk to each other by contract. When the contract is done, we're done. [Laughs] No, of course there are a lot of possibilities. I would love to work with Derrick outside of Sepultura. We have the idea for a reggae project on the cards, which we have a great name for. The comfort zone is the worst thing that can happen to an artist. It would be boring to stop Sepultura and do something else that is Sepultura-like."
Sepultura's farewell tour is coming to North America this September. Sepultura has recruited Obituary, Agnostic Front, and Claustrofobia as support, and you can get your tickets here.
