Sepultura Ends Career With Farewell Gig in São Paulo

Sepultura ended their career with a farewell gig on Saturday, November 7 at the 9000-capacity Suhai Music Hall in São Paulo. The 30-song set included Itsári from the Roots album, a track that had not been performed since 1998.

Former Sepultura guitarist Jairo Guedz, a member of the band between 1985 and 1987, joined the band for Biotech Is Godzilla, Slave New World and Troops Of Doom at the farewell show. João Gordo of Ratos de Porão joined Sepultura for their 1998 track Reza. Ratos de Porão also appeared for covers of Crucificados pelo sistema and Beber até morrer.

Other guests included Ethan Kahn and Sean Sterling from Chained Saint, Allan Wallace of Eminence, Andreas Kisser's son Yohan, Moyses Kolesne of support act Krisiun and drummer Amilcar Christofaro of Torture Squad. Max Cavalera and Iggor did not appear at the show. Andreas Kisser said earlier this year that the Cavalera brothers had declined an invitation to appear.
