As the legendary Brazilian metal powerhouse Sepultura approaches the final chapter of its historic journey, guitarist Andreas Kisser is already looking toward a future that blends creativity beyond the stage – without ever abandoning music.
With the band currently immersed in its emotional farewell run and preparing to release their final EP “The Cloud Of Unknowing”, Kisser has begun opening up about what comes next once the curtain officially falls.
A New Canvas… Literally
In a recent interview, Kisser revealed a growing fascination with visual art – particularly painting. Rather than seeing it as a replacement for music, he describes it as an expansion of his creative universe.
He’s intrigued by the idea of merging artistic disciplines, experimenting with how sound and color can coexist and influence one another. For Kisser, this isn’t just a hobby – it’s a genuine exploration of new ways to express emotion and ideas after decades in metal.
That shift makes sense when you consider the magnitude of Sepultura’s legacy. After nearly four decades shaping extreme metal, Kisser seems determined not to replicate the past, but to evolve beyond it.
Will He Quit Music? Not Even Close
Before fans start panicking – relax. Kisser made it crystal clear: music is still very much part of his life.
He emphasized that he has plenty of ideas and creative energy left, though he hasn’t locked himself into a specific direction yet. Solo material, new collaborations, or completely different sonic paths are all on the table.
What’s interesting is his mindset: instead of rushing into the next project, he’s choosing to stay present, fully embracing the final moments of Sepultura’s journey before making any big decisions.
No Interest in Recreating Sepultura
One of the most telling parts of his vision for the future is his refusal to chase a “Sepultura 2.0.”
Kisser openly acknowledges that he’s already lived that chapter to the fullest. Now, his goal is to absorb new influences, experiment freely, and step into unknown creative territory.
It’s a bold stance – but also a very honest one. Instead of clinging to legacy, he’s choosing reinvention.
The Final Chapter Approaches
Sepultura’s farewell era is already underway, marked by a final release and a series of last performances that will close one of metal’s most influential stories.
The upcoming EP “The Cloud Of Unknowing” is shaping up to be a symbolic goodbye—described as an emotional and diverse send-off to the band’s long career.
And while the band prepares to say goodbye, Kisser is quietly preparing to begin again.
What we’re seeing isn’t an ending – it’s a transformation.
Andreas Kisser stepping into painting while keeping music alive feels less like a farewell and more like an artist refusing to be boxed in. After decades of defining metal, he’s now chasing something even bigger: creative freedom.
Honestly? That’s very rock ‘n’ roll of him.
