I bet Andreas Kisser would love to be interviewed without being asked about Max Cavalera, if not just once. I would also bet that Max would love, just once, to be interviewed without being asked about a Sepultura reunion. In the excerpt below, MetalPaths.com interviewed Sepultura’s Andreas Kisser. I only quoted two of three parts where the Cavalera word was dropped.
Have you listened to the “Cavalera Conspiracy” debut album? Do you think that maybe one day will happen to co-operate again with Max and Igor?
I’ve heard the album, it is not bad but they could do a lot …read more

Max Cavalera’s Soulfly will be touring the United Kingdom with 11 dates scheduled so far in February 2009. Soulfly will be touring in support of their latest album, Conquer. Conquer in my opinion is Soulfly’s best album to date, with a more thrash feel to it than previous albums. If you liked the Cavalera Conspiracy but have not like past Soulfly albums you may actually like Conquer as it has a closer sound to Inflikted. Phoenix Arizona’s Incite will tour as support. Incite is fronted by Richie Cavalera, the step-son of Max Cavalera. Tour dates are below.

I’ve been hesitant about buy the new Soulfy CD, Conquer,  even after hearing Unleash and really liking it. I was worried that it would be another over nu-metal, tribal crazy/crappy album like most of them are. I remember really liking the first Soulfly, but these days I can’t bear listening to it. After buying Soulfly 3 I was a bit disappointed too. The Cavalera Conspiracy gave me hope. It gave me hope that Max still had it in him. The ability to right kick ass thrashy songs.

Fan filmed footage of Cavalera Conspiracy playing some classic Sepultura and Nailbomb songs has been uploaded on Youtube.com by use Egobrain22. Pretty cool to see the Cavalera brothers playing the classics live. Below is video of them performing Arise and Dead Embryonic Cells. You can see the rest of the videos uploaded here by egobrain22.

Throughout the history of Sepultura the line-ups have changed. From their very beginning when it started out as Max and Igor and people came and went. Max said in a recent revolver interview back then “That was Sepultura” and went on to say that “Andreas and Paulo Jr. came later.” Perhaps I’m misinterpreting his words but he sounded pretty ungrateful for those two. To me Max, Igor, Paulo Jr. and Andreas was Sepultura. That was the most solid line-up.

Or perhaps a forgotten shredder. I was on my way home after helping my brother move some stuff and I was listening to Dead Embryonic Cells. A Sepultura classic from the Arise album. Singing along in my best Max, I almost forgot for awhile how much I used to love the way Andreas Kisser played. Even though most of the rhythms are fairly easy, his solos always ripped!

If you’re a Sepultura fan you’d be lying if you said that you don’t want to see a reunion anytime soon. The “Classic” line-up of Max, Igor, Andreas, and Paulo was the best to date and we all know it. While Derek Green stepped in on vocals and did a rather good job considering who’s shoes he had to fill, it was never quite the same Sepultura, as Iron Maiden was not the same without Bruce.
