Would The Real Sepultura Please Stand Up

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.

I’ve got the double album Bestial Devastation/Morbid Visions and while it was a good album for the time, the good stuff didn’t come until Andreas and Paulo. Schizophrenia was the first piece of the monstrosity that Sepultura became until Max’s departure. I have Against, but was so disappointed with it that I didn’t buy anything else after that.

The Sepultura of today is not Sepultura. The last little bit of light died when Igor left. You can’t really carry on a name like that after every founding members are gone, even if I said that Andreas and Paulo were a strong part of it. It’s just not the same. It’s kind of like Jerry Only’s Misfits. I don’t think I need to elaborate on that.

Max said perhaps they will reunite when Armageddon hits, jokingly. He said it’s possible but there are no plans for it right now. Come on, Max…make some plans. Inflikted was amazing, but I want MORE!!
