“Thrash metal has been around for 30 years. I firmly believe that honest music never dies. And the same goes for thrash metal too,” says one of the band members from Sepultura
What made you decide on coming to India? We wanted to come to India from a very long time. We know we have a lot of fans in this country and we wanted to give them the opportunity to hear us.
Your last album Dante XXI was received well by critics and fans alike... Our music has always been honest and represent issues we care about. Ditto with Dante XXI. We are very happy to receive such great global response.
Any new album that you are working on at the moment?
We have few things in mind and are working on some new ideas. We’ll hit the studios and begin work as soon as we get off the tour.
The band has gone through major changes in the lineup. How are you guys adapting to these changes? The legacy of Sepultura is larger than the individuals playing in it. Whether it was in Max’s time or Derrick Greene — Sepultura remains true to its fans, its music and its ideologies. We’ve all been together for nine years in the new lineup. Once you hear us play, you’ll realise that we share awesome chemistry.
How has the change in the lineup influenced the sound of the band?
I would like to make this one thing clear. The change in lineup has in no way influenced the sound of the band. Like I’ve said earlier, the sound of Sepultura and the songs have remained very ‘Sepulturalike’ irrespective of changes.
According to you, how has thrash metal changed over the years?
With every new generation, there are newer playing styles, sounds and influences. The sound varies marginally, but fact remains that Sepultura delivers truly honest, in-your-face music and that will never change.
What according to you would be the future of thrash metal?
Thrash metal has been around for 30 years. I firmly believe that honest music never dies. And the same goes for thrash metal too.
Which bands do you think are doing a great job today?
Honestly speaking, I really don’t know the answer to this question (laughs).
Have you heard Indian music?
Personally, I’m a big fan of Indian mythology and have been a vegan for the last 20 years based on the Indian value system. We have also heard of Indian classical music, but no particular name comes to mind at the moment. But we have heard the band Brahma, two of the guys who got us here, Devraj and Vince, are from the band.
Are there chances of you ever collaborating with any Indian musician?
That remains to be seen.

Webinfosys's Entertainment News : Ta ra mum mum mum
She's in shape, smiles spotaneously and is considered the perfect housemaker. A star wife yesterday, she is a just a week away from becoming a star mother, with the release of Ranbir Kapoor's Saawariya. Cut to Neetu Kapoor in conversation with Nilufer Qureshi
Have you seen Saawariya yet?
Yes, and I'm elated. I saw it yesterday I knew my son has been in perfect hands. Now I'm no longer stressed or nervous. Now, I'm proud. I'm essentially very shy about interviews, especially on TV Once there was hardly any media around, today the scenario is so different.
On screen, is Ranbir more like Rishi Kapoor (Chintu) or you?
Honestly, Ranbir doesn't copy anyone, he has his own style. But I have to admit that his voice is more like his grandfather's (Raj Kapoor). I can confidently say that Ranbir is very talented. As far as dancing is concerned, Ranbir definitely has rhythm which is extremely important.
Is Chintu anxious?
(Laughs)He's very hyper, he calls me every five minutes from Chandigarh where he's shooting. I have to reassure him that I loved the film and it'll be fine. He will see Saawariya only at the premiere.
Have you been visiting temples and fasting for your son?
(Smiles) I'm doing everything a mother would.
Are you surprised with the stories of Ranbir's link-ups?
I don't think they are true, the girls are only his friends. Everyone gets written about and anything is news. At home, we don't discuss the stuff written about Ranbir anymore.
Would he tell you if he fell in love?
(Laughs) Yes he would. A few years ago, he excitedly told me one day, "Mum I am in love." Did he confide in you about his heartbreak over the girl he liked? Oh yes! When he was going through it every morning I'd ask, "Are you okay? How is your heart?" He would smile, "Mum I'm doing fine, I'm much better, don't worry He's very emotional."
The one absolutely untrue news about Ranbir?
That he hit someone on the road. Ranbir is the most peace-loving boy you can know. He doesn't even get irritated. So how can he hit anyone?
With Riddhima married, do you hope to become a grand mom soon?
I had Riddhima nine months after my marriage. I was very naïve. These days, kids know their minds. Riddhima and her husband want to wait. He travels a lot because of his work, he wants her to be with him. I guess it's also because they hardly had any courtship. They married very soon. She's here with me, she's very excited for her brother.
Have you ever thought of making a comeback to the movies?
Not really. Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and I were offered a film together. He had even said yes. Then I became busy with Riddhima's wedding, I don't know what happened to the project.
