Sepultura Guitarist Andreas Kisser “Doesn’t Care” About What Max Cavalera Has to Say

In a recent interview, Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser said he doesn’t care about what former frontman Max Cavalera says about Sepultura, stating that Cavalera is entitled to his opinion.

Max recently slammed the current Sepultura lineup, “Tell me one great song they have written since I left," Cavalera recently said in an interview with Metal Rules. “Name one great album they have put out after that. I haven't seen anything. I don't know one name of one song as popular as 'Roots Bloody Roots'. So, it just tells me like whatever they are doing, I don't know how they keep on going. I don't think it's working at all. But somehow they keep on going, somehow. It's crazy to me."

Kisser was asked to comment on Max’s statement in an interview with Blabbermouth, and the guitarist offered, "I just don't care, man. It's his opinion. Who cares? I mean, so what if he thinks that? Many people think the same. So what?"

Kisser further stated, "I'm very proud of what we achieved with Sepultura," he said. "That's why we celebrated thirty years of the band and not only twenty or fifteen years or something. We take Sepultura as a whole career. On our set, we play songs from every album, regardless of the formation or the label that we were [on]."

"We are, I think, in our best times now. I think it's the best formation. We have a great label, we have great managers working with us, we have amazing fans that kept the band together. And we're very happy, believe it or not. [Laughs] We enjoy our life, we enjoy our band, and it's a privilege to be a part of a band like Sepultura. We play seventy-six countries in thirty-three years, and regardless of the formation, here are are doing stuff, [with] a great new album that has been [met with a] very positive reaction. We have a movie talking about the Sepultura history coming out this year as well. We have many products in Brazil, like beer, wine, hot sauce and all types of different products with the brand Sepultura name. You know, I cannot complain. All the difficult times and the difficult tasks that we achieved or we had in our lives were great learning experiences. We are better people and better musicians because of that. Without all the trouble, all the problems we had, we wouldn't be here today. So we embrace everything that happened with Sepultura good and bad. The same with fans — we love how diverse the Sepultura fans are. They don't think the same, they don't have the same opinion. We love the haters. They are a great part of our history, and we are all a part of a great family, like it or not."
