Even with a two-and-a-half-year delay, the time has come for the Brazilian demolition quartet to take to the stage on Saturday, July 23, crumpling the Gandalf who wanted to eat their faces with the release of the stormy “Quadra”. of 2020. Just before the coronavirus closure begins. They wanted to do the same last year, but again they had to be patient again …

And if this year’s European tour of the same name normally wants them to be with Sacred Reich and Crowbar, we here in our parts will greedily “suck” them under Slipknot along with other bands, here duly and colonially, to complete its program . Release Athens festival day.

With their latest release on “Sepulquarta”, ie a sample of what they did online inviting many famous guests, Andreas Kisser, Paulo Jr., Derrick Green and Eloy Casagrande will conquer the Marina Delta of Kallithea alone, without Cambell, Ellefson. , Ian, Townsend, Heafy etc.

Seventeen years ago, in March 2005, the rock-bottomed band Max & Igor Cavalera tore down the “Rodon” for the third time, ten days before leveling Sao Paulo where their live video “Live in Sao” was born. Paulo ”to be released in November of the same year. Some of you were in our company together, some were not, due to age. The “Roorback” of 2003 was much loved by their fans. So much so that we then enjoyed two consecutive years in the historic concert venue, joys and festivals. So here are some photo moments of that night, a year before the long-awaited “Dante XXI”.

Photo report Sepultura – Rodon, Athens, Monday, March 21, 2005

Arriving quite early from the start time that the organizer had announced as I usually do to catch my post through the black railing, I initially shuddered with the small attendance of the audience. But with the onset of the first “Apes Of God” cannon fire at nine or so, at least the old movie theater was full.

With the insurmountable Igor Cavalera still standing in the back of the campaign, even without Max, I saw the painted fans running with the dive that consciously made the heavy metal shape in (even then) its distant past. “Slave New World” and “Necromancer” set fire to everything.

But despite the … seriousness of the situation, the four protagonists also showed great fun that night. So there was no shortage of ticklish passages such as some introductions of favorite songs by the common heroes of us all, I’m talking about above and below your stage.

Refreshments from our adored Black Sabbath that we all looked forward to that summer in our country for the first time with Ozzy Osbourne at the microphone, the intro of “For Whom the Bells Tolls” by Metallica, to an unexpected rendition of “Bullet The Blue” Sky ”by U2! “Athens, I want you to get Arise” was ordered, among other things, a little later by the imposing Derrick Green, who had a small voice and when he heard the corresponding song, it was time to come and see. As usual.

With “Roots Bloody Roots” is not the second and last encore of this concert creating a pandemonium despite the advanced time, so there were few who declared in the exit dissatisfied as “greedy” because there was not a third with “Orgasmatron” . to deliver what they promise …
