Derrick Green has hinted that he’s already lining up his next move beyond Sepultura. In a recent interview with Heavy Matters, the Sepultura frontman said he’s been putting together another band as the Brazilian metal legends continue toward the end of their farewell run later this year.

Green stated the following:

I will continue doing music. I definitely would love to do another band. And I’m putting that together as we speak.

Trying to align with certain people, it’s like starting from scratch,  well, not necessarily from scratch, but it’s definitely a challenge to form that connection with people again, different people. After being with a band for so long — I’ve been especially with Andreas and Paulo for so many years, since like 1998, so it’s interesting to think back and then now be where we’re at, where it’s just, like, ‘Okay, I’ll try to find other people to jam with.’ It’s exciting, I have to say.

 

When asked if more about the possibility of the new project, Green shared:

I was able to learn so much and take away so much being with Sepultura, and I will use different elements from that. Then, the hardcore, of course, it’s always flowing in my blood. And then also a lot of melodical-type stuff I was doing. I felt that I’ve grown and evolved in being able to do that. So I wanna have a mix of that, and for sure have a heavy groove on whatever it is I’m gonna do in the future. So I’m looking forward to really combining all those different elements.

 

Sepultura are wrapping up their Farewell touring cycle, currently the group is on tour in North America with Exodus, Biohazard, and Tribal Gaze. Additionally VIP packages for this run will also include a copy of the band’s latest EP, The Cloud Of Unknowing.
