I see the point in re-recording Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions, but not with Schizophrenia which is pretty much perfect as is. The sample song isn't bad but it's completely pointless. This stuff belongs in a live environment, I would definitely go see them perform a Schizophrenia set, or a Bestial/Morbid set. (Both, please.)

At least there is a new song but I'd like to see them make a full album of original material inspired by this album instead of another re-recording.

They said they'll do that once they finish re-recording Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D., and Roots.

I wonder if Max will leave Cavalera after re-recording Roots.

Iam glad Derrick's Sepultura is finally over, that band shouldn't have ever be named Sepultura. I disagree with them being a good band, the only good thing that happened to them in the last years was the introduction of Eloy Casagrande, one of the best modern metal drummers of this time. But when they played live, 3/4 of their repertory was always Max Cavalera's era songs.

The best thing would have been disbanding Sepultura when Roots came around and having two bands with the original members, but by calling it Sepultura they always lived in the shadow of their former greatness, never surpassing or even matching the first six albums of the band. And no disrespect to Andreas Kisser and Paulo Jr but is clear that the heart of the band was the Cavalera brothers, is like thinking about AC/DC without the Young brothers or Van Halen without the Van Halen brothers.

I saw Andreas, Derrick and Paulo's band live two times and it always felt lacking in all the sense of the word. I saw Cavalera Conspiracy twice too and it was always a thrashing mad party, the stage presence that Max and Igor have is undisputed.

Pretty much disagree with you on everything here. Of course they were still going to play Max era songs, given that Andreas was one of the main songwriters during that time, why wouldn't he play songs he wrote?

Seps last few albums have been better than all but the run of classics from Schizophrenia to Arise

Haven't seen Cavalera live, but caught Soulfly a few times and Max was embarrassing, not playing guitar, having the audience do vocals because he was visibly out of breath...meanwhile Seps have been some of the best shows I've been to the last few years

They said they'll do that once they finish re-recording Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D., and Roots.

Moving beyond Schizophrenia would make no sense, as Beneath the Remains is a tremendous sounding record from every angle. Have they already talked about wanting to re-record that one?

I think of myself as mostly opposed to re-recordings in general, but I'm sure there exist a handful of successful examples by now. I guess it's fair to judge them on a case-by-case basis.

Excellent news! I loved the Bestial Devastation/Morbid Visions re-recordings. The new version of Escape to the Void sounds badass.

This gave me a thought. You know how some TV stations have a "+1" channel that broadcasts an hour behind the main channel? Well, Max and Igor could rename their band "Sepultura +37", and re-record each Sepultura album 37 years after it was released, like they're doing now. So in 2033 they would re-record Roots. Then Max would leave to pursue a new project, "Soulfly +37".

And here's to hoping they live long enough so that we get to hear the eventual re-recordings of the re-recordings.

Totally agree dude. Escape To The Void sounds absolutely wicked and this rerecording will be welcomed into the collection just like the previous 2. They were never happy with the production on the pre Beneath The Remains albums. But hey I'm personally happy to have and enjoy both versions of the albums

This, exactly.
I'll very likely buy this. It's odd that the term "necessary" (or "unnecessary") is being used to describe this (or any specific piece of art, frankly).

I wonder if Max will leave Cavalera after re-recording Roots.
