Sepultura Announces New Album Featuring Return of Max and Iggor Cavalera for a Special Collaboration
In a surprise announcement that has set the metal world abuzz, Sepultura revealed plans to release a new album in 2025, featuring the return of founding members Max and Iggor Cavalera for a special collaboration. Fans of the legendary Brazilian thrash metal band have long awaited a reunion of the original lineup, and this upcoming project promises to be a historic moment in the band’s storied career.
The new album, tentatively titled Roots Revisited, will celebrate Sepultura’s iconic Roots album (1996), which marked a turning point in the band’s evolution by incorporating Brazilian tribal rhythms into their brutal thrash sound. The Cavalera brothers will join current members Andreas Kisser, Paulo Jr., and Eloy Casagrande for the first time since Max’s departure in 1996, marking the return of a unified Sepultura lineup that fans have dreamed of for years.
The band has confirmed that the album will feature remastered versions of classic Roots tracks alongside new material, blending old-school thrash with contemporary metal elements. A series of exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage will accompany the album’s release, showcasing the creative process behind this reunion project.
Speaking to fans during a recent live performance, Max Cavalera expressed his excitement for the collaboration: “It’s like coming home. The music we made together was revolutionary, and to revisit it with Sepultura feels like the perfect way to honor our roots, while pushing the boundaries of what we can still do together.”
The announcement has already sparked speculation about an upcoming world tour, where fans can expect to hear these new songs and fan favorites live. With this monumental reunion on the horizon, Sepultura is poised to deliver an unforgettable chapter in their ric
h legacy.
