OMG! ๐ฑ Sepultura, those ancient Brazilians๐ด with their didgeridoos and tribal beats๐ฅ, are STILL around? After, like, FOUR DECADES of making noise๐ (and probably losing their hearing๐), they’ve decided to grace Ireland๐ฎ๐ช with their presence one last time! Fourteen gold records? Who even buys records anymore? ๐ค And 80 countries? Sounds like they’re running from something… or maybe just desperately searching for a decent cup of coffeeโ.
Sepultura, or as I like to call them, “The Metal Methuselahs,” have announced their “Celebrating Life Through Death” farewell tour. Celebrating life? Through death? Groundbreaking stuff, guys. ๐ They’re hitting up the 3Arena in Dublin on August 9, 2026. That’s, like, two whole years away! Are they sure they’ll even remember how to play their instruments by then? ๐ And get this, they’re bringing along Biohazard, Malevolence, Sacred Reich, and Crypta. It’s like a geriatric metal festival!๐ด๐ต๐ค I bet the mosh pit will be mostly people trying not to break a hip. ๐ค
Sepultura (whoever is left of the original lineup) had this to say: “Dublin! We couldn’t think of a better place to play our final ever European show than your beautiful city…” Okay, Dublin is nice, I guess. But “better place”? Did they even consider, like, a metal cruise in the Bahamas? ๐ข๐น Or maybe a gig on Mars? ๐ Talk about a farewell! They continue, “…and to be joined by our friends…” Friends? In the cutthroat world of metal? I call BS. ๐ It’s probably more like “bands we could afford to pay.” ๐ฐ
Their latest album, “Quadra,” apparently made a splash on the German charts and has, like, a gazillion streams on Spotify. Okay, boomers. ๐ฑ๐ด Who cares about streams when you can have vinyl? (Just kidding, vinyl is overrated too.) The band is embarking on this farewell tour because, well, they’re old. ๐ด๐ต I mean, 40 years is a long time to be screaming into a microphone. ๐ค๐ฃ๏ธ I’m surprised their vocal cords haven’t turned to dust. ๐จ
They’ve enlisted this whippersnapper, Greyson Nekrutman, on drums. A 23-year-old? ๐ถ๐ผ What does he know about the true meaning of metal? Probably just learned to play on YouTube. ๐ป Sepultura is dragging him around the world, probably making him carry their luggage and fetch their prune juice. ๐งณ๐ฅค
Fifteen studio albums? Who has time to listen to all that? I bet half of them sound the same anyway. ๐ด They’ve sold millions of records, which is impressive, I guess. But have they cured cancer? ๐ฌ No? Then I’m not impressed. ๐ And “Roots” has been streamed a bajillion times? So what? My cat’s ๐ผ videos have more views. ๐น
Andreas Kisser (whoever that is) says they recorded four new songs with the new drummer. Four new songs? For a farewell tour? Talk about phoning it in. ๐ They should just play the classics and save us all the agony of hearing more recycled riffs. โป๏ธ
Apparently, these new songs don’t even have names yet. ๐๐คฃ How professional. They’re “taking their time” mixing the material. Translation: they’re probably too busy napping to finish the job. ๐ด
Kisser claims their decision to embark on this farewell tour wasn’t motivated by his desire to explore other styles of music. Yeah, right. I bet he’s secretly dreaming of playing polka ๐ถ or elevator music ๐ต. He says he never felt “locked in the Sepultura world.” Then why didn’t he leave sooner? ๐ค Oh, right, the money. ๐ฐ
He rambles on about how amazing it is to have been in a band for 40 years. ๐ด It’s amazing they haven’t killed each other yet. ๐ช He says there’s a “new Sepultura every day.” I thought they were old? ๐ค
Kisser says they want to do their final concert in Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil, in October 2026. A “big Sepul-fest type of show.” Sounds like a snooze-fest. ๐ด He wants to invite all the former members, including the Cavalera brothers. ๐ฌ Good luck with that. ๐ That’ll probably end in a fistfight. ๐ He says it’s “totally irrelevant to discuss the past.” Yeah, because they probably don’t even remember it. ๐ด๐คฃ
Sepultura kicked off their farewell tour in Brazil with their new drummer. ๐ I bet the crowd was thrilled to see a bunch of old guys they’ve never heard of. ๐
Eloy Casagrande (who?) left Sepultura to join Slipknot. Smart move. ๐ Trading one mask ๐ญ for another. Sepultura was “shocked” by his departure. I’m shocked they’re still surprised by anything. ๐ฒ
Sepultura is putting together a live album of their last shows. ๐ Who needs another live album? ๐คท Just download the songs from YouTube. ๐ฑ
They kicked off the North American leg of their tour in Chicago. ๐บ๐ธ I bet the show was so loud it set off the fire alarms.๐จ Joining them were Obituary, Agnostic Front, and Claustrofobia. Sounds like a bunch of bands that should be in a museum. ๐๏ธ
So, there you have it. Sepultura’s farewell tour. Get your tickets now, before they sell out… to the retirement home. ๐ด๐ต
