SEPULTURA Guitarist: 'We Feel Better By The Minute On Stage And It's An Awesome Feeling'

July 17, 2007

Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA are in the middle of European headlining tour in support of their "Dante XXI" CD. The group's guitarist, Andreas Kisser, has issued the following update:

"We came from Hungary, from the region of Tokaj. It was a great festival with many local bands and a great crowd. We closed the night with our complete set and was another great gig. We feel better by the minute on stage and it's an awesome feeling. We also tried the Goulash, a very traditional soup in Hungary with the Tokaj wine, very famous in the region too. That's one of the best things about touring the world, the chance to try out and taste different foods and drinks made by the local masters. Priceless!

"We arrived yesterday [July 15] to play at the Masters of Rock festival, too bad we missed the MOTÖRHEAD gig, but the day was a good one. It's a nice little town, it was very hot and a lot of people around. we met some Sepulfreaks that gave us a lecture on local beer and local food. It was really great! Later we watched STRATOVARIUS and CHILDREN OF BODOM.

"Today [July 16] we are going to a sprts bar to watch the Copa America Final between Brazil and Argentina. It's going to be a war! BRAZIL!" [NOTE: Brazil beat Argentina 3-0]

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.

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.
