ANDREAS KISSER Declares Defiant Future: ‘I’m Fired Up and Ready to Rock Beyond SEPULTURA!’
In a recent tête-à-tête with Jarek Szubrycht at Poland’s Mystic Festival, SEPULTURA’s charismatic guitarist, Andreas Kisser, spilled the beans on the band’s emotional decision to kick off a three-year farewell tour that will wrap up in late 2026. “Forty years is a momentous milestone,” he mused, reflecting on the band’s journey from Brazil to nearly 80 countries, redefining heavy metal along the way. With the release of their latest album, Quadra, and their survival through the pandemic—including a personal loss that reshaped his world—Andreas is clearly ready to embrace change.
“Life and death have been great teachers,” he continued, candidly sharing how the loss of his wife transformed his perspective on existence. “A big part of myself died with her,” he admitted, revealing how this experience inspired the band to take a pause. The pressure to churn out another album or tour felt stifling, prompting them to carve out a much-needed breather.
Andreas garnished this revelation with a sprinkling of excitement about the tour: “We’re recording a live album, crisscrossing the globe and planting the SEPULTURA flag in uncharted territories!” They aim to make this farewell a celebration, not a somber goodbye. It’s a “thank you” to fans who’ve kept the band vibrant for four decades.
As for what lies beyond SEPULTURA, Andreas isn’t hitting the brakes on his musical endeavors. “I’ll continue to create!” he exclaimed, revealing plans for new projects and guitar lessons. “Maybe even a reggae venture with Derrick,” he hinted with a playful laugh, inviting curiosity about their creative chemistry.
When asked about a potential reunion with the original lineup, Andreas remained optimistic. “Let’s jam and make it a party,” he said, emphasizing the importance of unity and joy after years of tumult.
SEPULTURA’s farewell tour, aptly dubbed "Celebrating Life Through Death," kicked off on September 17, 2024, and it’s a career retrospective that will wrap fans in nostalgia and grandeur. With special guests like Obituary and Agnostic Front joining the ride, this is not merely a tour; it’s a celebration—a grand farewell to an era.
So, let’s raise a glass to SEPULTURA, to past glories, and to the freedom of new beginnings. C’est la vie, darling!
