Sepultura played their last concert on Saturday night at the Suhai Music Hall in São Paulo, four decades after the band started in Belo Horizonte in 1984.
The night was built as a reunion rather than a wake. Jairo Guedz, who played guitar on the first two records before Andreas Kisser replaced him in 1987, came back for Biotech Is Godzilla, Slave New World and Troops of Doom. João Gordo of Ratos de Porão arrived for Reza, played for the first time since 2005, and stayed for two of his own band's songs. Moyses Kolesne of Krisiun joined for Itsári, which Sepultura had not played since 1998, and for Kaiowas with fans on the stage. Kisser's son Yohan sang Convicted in Life.
Thirty two items on the setlist, opening with Arise and ending on Ratamahatta and Roots Bloody Roots. Krisiun, Sacred Reich and Metal Allegiance played before them.
In September the show had moved from the Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, which holds around 26,000, to a hall holding just over 9,000. Asked recently by Metal On Tap whether he would rule out a reunion, Kisser said he rules nothing out, and that the important thing is stopping now, because the band organised everything around that and need the rest.
