Sepultura have played the final show of their farewell tour in São Paulo, Brazil, bringing their 40-plus-year touring career to a close.
The concert took place on Saturday, November 7th, at Suhai Music Hall and featured a staggering 32-song setlist culled from 14 albums of the band’s discography.
The show saw a number of guests joining Sepultura onstage, including Ethan Kahn and Sean Sterling from Chained Saint, Allan Wallace from Eminence, Yohan Kisser, Moyses Kolesne from Krisiun, Amilcar Christofaro from Torture Squad, and João Gordo of Brazilian crossover band Ratos de Porão, The band was also joined by its former guitarist, Jairo Guedz, who preceded Andreas Kisser in Sepultura’s lineup.
Guedz, also known as “Tormentor,” played on Sepultura’s first two albums Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions and also took part in early songwriting for the band’s third album Schizophrenia which saw the onboarding of his replacement Andreas Kisser as well as a shift toward thrash metal and away from death metal.
While initially the show and the tour it capped off was billed as a retirement tour for the band, Sepultura has since softened their stance, stating in interviews that the band may return in the future in some capacity following an extended rest.
This final show marks just over two and a half years of their farewell tour, which officially began on March 1st, 2024 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and featured the debut of Grayson Nekrutzman on drums following the departure of Eloy Casagrande for Slipknot.
