Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser has offered an update on the bands current drummer situation; which has seen Jean Dolabella sit out a few gigs with Amilcar Christófaro of Torture Squad filling in. Here’s what he had to say on the matter:
“In the last July 27th, in Lendorff, Austria, we supposed to another show of the very successful european tour for Kairos, we are having a great time in Europe, but our drummer Jean Dolabella had an injury on his arm due to a muscle stress, he couldn’t play the gig an we had to cancel the show. We thought about options for drummers to do some shows while Jean could have time to recover, therefore we wouldn’t have to cancel any more shows.
We were very lucky cause on that same day the band from Brazil Torture Squad, a great trash group that are conquering their space outside the country. They are here for a tour and Sepultura and Torture Squad had two festivals to play together. Amilcar Christófaro is a great drummer and huge Sepultura fan, he knows a lot from our early stuff and when we talked to him he was ready to help us.
We already did four shows with him and is going really great, he’s amazing playing our stuff. Jean is recovering well and maybe in the next two to three days will be back.
We were stunned by the situation and very thankful to Amilcar and Torture Squad for this, this is an historical event for everybody involved and the show must go on!!! Thanks you very much Amilcar, you fucking rule!!!”
