Sepultura Guitarist Updates From England

SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser has issued the following update:

"August 17: The [European] tour is almost finished; four more shows and then we are going home. It was a long tour but a very good one. We play for many people around Europe and now we feel ready to start new music for a new album.

"WE DON'T STOP, WE KEEP FIGHTING ON!

"We came from Bulgaria — it was the first time there. Too bad we stayed less than 24 hours in the country, but it was worth it. We flew from Barcelona to Varna and then to Albena — a beautiful place with beaches at the Black Sea and a very hot sun. We played at the city of Kavarna in a football stadium, full of Bulgarian headbangers. The show was great and the whole production was amazing, one of the very best in Europe... all very organized, done with a lot of passion and respect.

"I hope to be back soon to Bulgaria and have more time to explore the country.

"Thank you all very much, Bulgaria!!

"We are now in England on the last stage of the tour. We are a little tired but we're very happy with the job done.

"I would like to send a special thanks to our crew that makes the best effort every night so we have everything ready to jam on stage. Valeu!
"Rumors, rumors, rumors...

"August 18, 2007, Leeds, England: Today I did my first guitar clinic ever in Europe. It was at the Guitar Institute (The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) in London. I didn't have with me all the stuff I usually use in my clinics in Brazil but it was really cool. It was a conversation with 20 students from the school and it was sponsored by the Metal Hammer magazine. It will be a whole weekend talking and playing metal! I played many riffs from the history of SEPULTURA and they asked me about everything: techniques, composition, influences and stories about SEPULTURA. Also, I improvise over some blues playbacks but I couldn't play the classical guitar 'cause I didn't have my instrument.

"I hope to come back soon to do the full clinic.

"Thanks a lot, GI!

"Afterwards I took the train to Leeds and we've just left the stage. DESTROY!!!!

"Only two more shows to go, time to go home..."
