Damn, Derrick, we see you! Derrick Green, that is—the vocalist of Sepultura. As if he hasn’t been busy enough on the band’s farewell tour, he’s also been working behind the scenes, scheming and plotting on what he’s going to do once the band wraps up. Apparently, he’s got a whole new band in the works.
Green sat down for a new interview with Heavy Matters where he spoke about his plans, post farewell tour:
“I will continue doing music. I definitely would love to do another band. And I’m putting that together as we speak.
“Trying to align with certain people, it’s like starting from scratch, well, not necessarily from scratch, but it’s definitely a challenge to form that connection with people again, different people. After being with a band for so long — I’ve been especially with Andreas and Paulo for so many years, since like 1998, so it’s interesting to think back and then now be where we’re at, where it’s just, like, ‘Okay, I’ll try to find other people to jam with.’ It’s exciting, I have to say.”
Green then went a little more in depth about what he feels the potential is for the new project, saying:
“I was able to learn so much and take away so much being with Sepultura, and I will use different elements from that. Then, the hardcore, of course, it’s always flowing in my blood. And then also a lot of melodical-type stuff I was doing. I felt that I’ve grown and evolved in being able to do that. So I wanna have a mix of that, and for sure have a heavy groove on whatever it is I’m gonna do in the future. So I’m looking forward to really combining all those different elements.”
Good for you, Derrick. A true artist never stops, or whatever that saying is (that is a saying, right?). Sepultura is currently finishing the North American leg of their final tour cycle, currently with Exodus, Biohazard, and Tribal Gaze in tow. They’ll be starting the European leg in June.
