Following the successful ‘Morbid Devastation’ tour in November 2023, which included performances of the re-recorded classics ‘Bestial Devastation’ (1985) and ‘Morbid Visions’ (1986), the Brazilian metal legends have announced two headline shows for summer 2024. Cavalera will play in Rostock (M.A.U. Club) on 21 June 2024 and in Bochum (Matrix) on 25 June 2024.
Almost 40 years after the start of their unique career, the two Cavalera brothers Max and Iggor have re-recorded the two releases that catapulted them onto the world stage of heavy metal: The debut ‘Morbid Visions’ from 1986 and the first EP ‘Bestial Devastation’ from 1985. After the ‘Return To Roots’ tour in 2017 and the ‘Beneath The Arise’ tour in 2019, they are now celebrating their past once again by putting the two releases at the centre of their new tour.
Max Cavalera on the re-recordings: ‘Sometimes you just have to go back to where it all began! We've re-recorded ‘Bestial Devastation’ and ‘Morbid Visions’ with the fantastic sound of today, but still retaining their raw and timeless spirit. There are also two new tracks with riffs from back then that we still knew by heart.’ Iggor Cavalera adds: ‘I always felt that the recordings of our earlier work didn't do justice to the way we played the songs live. So this is a very special moment in our lives and we are proud to show the fans our true vision of these great releases.’
Sepultura are among the pioneers of nu metal, mixing punk and metal with traditional Brazilian elements to create a unique style. The brothers Max and Iggor wrote heavy metal history, especially in the nineties. Especially with the three albums ‘Arise’ (1991), ‘Chaos A.D.’ (1993) and ‘Roots’ (1996), they became famous, selling more than three million records in the USA alone and almost 30 million worldwide.
