While the pandemic paralyzed the entire world and prevented bands from touring, Sepultura refused to sit back and act like an animal trapped in a cage. The four-piece from Belo Horizonte made good use of their unexpected free time to start a project – ‘SepulQuarta sessions’ – that kept them busy throughout the entirety of 2020. They started to connect with friends and colleagues worldwide and asked them to not only be part of their weekly podcast, but also join them in playing one of their classics. Consequently, the SepulQuarta live album of 15 tracks was put together. It will see the light of day on August 13th and features renowned guest musicians. “SepulQuarta”, will see the light of day on August 13 2021.
“SepulQuarta was born at the very beginning of the pandemic when everything was halted”, guitarist Andreas Kisser remembers. “We had a new album out, but we couldn’t tour for it. Therefore, we created this recurring event where we could talk with our fans around the world, play our music and exchange ideas, it was a blast! ‘SepulQuarta’ kept us alive and strong throughout one of the most difficult times in human history.”
