SEPULTURA Guitarist's Polish Adventure

SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser has issued the following update:

"We just had a Polish adventure; it was amazing. We played at the Hunterfest festival in Szczytno by the side of a big castle that was a Nazi camp during the WW II, including a balcony where Hitler made a speech, beatiful place. It was a great festival and a great show. Too bad it was the only date in Poland.

"We stayed in a hotel in a region called Galindia. We were escorted by the locals, all dressed in animal skins, with torches in their hands to light the way. They took us to a boat and we crossed the river rowing till we arrived in Galindia's world. Spectacular! It's a people that are keeping their tradition that started some time B.C. and today they keep a hotel that is visited by many people, specially in summer.

"Thanks very much for everybody at Galindia, the hospitality and friendship. Hope to see you all soon.

"Brazil lost to the USA at the world cup [soccer] under 20 in Canada! Oh well, Brazil lost to Poland also but it manages to qualify. Poor display!"

IPC TV, which produces and broadcasts a variety of community programs in Portuguese to an increasing Brazilian community in Japan, has posted a lengthy video report on SEPULTURA, featuring interviews with the band and footage of the group performing in Brazil and France. Watch the "Agenda" report at this location (in Portuguese).

This past winter SEPULTURA finished filming the second video from their "Dante XXI" album, for the song "Ostia". The clip was shot on March 3 at a studio in São Paulo prior to the band's departure for their European tour. During the following week, the video crew and the main actor shot the outdoor scenes in downtown São Paulo. The script, which adapts the story from the book "The Divine Comedy" to the modern days, was directed by Geraldo Moraes.
