A documentary about the history of Sepultura from its humble beginnings through today, will see release this fall on DVD and Blu-ray. Sepultura Endurance had its world premiere in May 2017 at the Regent theater in Los Angeles and now will see a wide release. Directed by Otávio Juliano, the doc is packed with archival footage, live performances, and interviews from the band and many of their peers in metal. Watch the trailer below!
Andreas Kisser commented in an interview with Mammoth Metal TV:
“We have plans to release the SEPULTURA movie, ‘Sepultura Endurance’, together in a package with the Rock In Rio concert we did last year, which was a very complete concert around ‘Machine Messiah’, where we presented a special new stage and invited violinists, musicians and stuff. It was really cool and it was really interesting. And the plan is to put all that together in a CD, DVD, Blu-ray package, to be released in October [or] November. That’s the plan. But now we actually also started… we’re talking, trying to get to Netflix and other type of platform like that before the movie [comes] out [on DVD and Blu-ray], but let’s see what happens. We have really good possibilities for that. And it is a great documentary — we’re very happy with it, besides all the difficult aspects of doing a documentary like that. But it came out great.”
Former members and co-founders Max and Igor Cavalera denied permission to the makers of Sepultura Endurance to use the group’s early music in the film. Director Otávio Juliano told Brazil’s Folha De S. Paulo that he could not even use footage of early Sepultura songs being performed by the current version of the band.
