Sepultura has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death. The band will mark 40 years together and say goodbye at the same time with a farewell tour spanning the globe, including a run of Australian shows this March.
After four decades, 14 gold records, journeys through 80 countries and countless cultural exchanges, Sepultura stands as one of the most influential metal bands of their generation. Across 15 studio albums, they have sold more than 20million records worldwide, earning gold and platinum status in Australia and beyond. Their landmark record Roots has surpassed 150 million Spotify streams.
As this chapter unfolds, Sepultura reflects on this milestone with gratitude. Throughout their career, they created acclaimed records, forged enduring friendships, experienced artistic growth, met their heroes and helped place Brazilian metal firmly on the world map. With that legacy secured, the band steps away with a sense of purpose fulfilled.
“We’ve always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal,” the band says. “Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation, we love you and always will.”
This tour is the final opportunity to witness Sepultura live in Australia.
