Max and Igor Cavalera have announced that they’ll head out on the Return To Roots tour later this year.
The brothers and founding members of Sepultura have set up the shows to mark the 20th anniversary of their former band’s 1996 album Roots – the last studio record to feature Max in the Sepultura lineup. They’ll be joined onstage by guitarist Marc Rizzo and bassist Johny Chow.
They’ll play the album in its entirety on all dates, with The Black Dahlia Murder, Combichrist, Allegaeon, All Hail The Yeti and Oni supporting on select dates.
Max Cavalera says: “Metalheads. It’s time. Twenty years ago, we released the Roots album and changed the face of metal forever. Now, we’re returning to ‘the roots’ to show everybody the magic and inspiration of the Roots live experience!”
Igor adds: “I am very proud to play Roots again – to reaffirm that after 20 years, it still moves people. We hit the stage again with Roots to destroy everywhere we pass by.”
It’s also been confirmed that Warner Music will release a vinyl edition of Roots later this year, along with a CD and vinyl box set containing classic Sepultura albums. Further details will be released in due course.
