Sepultura’s Divine Comedy
With a new album and an even newer drummer, Brazilian metal outfit Sepultura is gearing up to tour the U.S. for the first time in more than three years.
The band has booked nearly six weeks of tour dates, starting November 16 in Tempe, Ariz., and finishing December 22 in Pomona, Calif.
The group is supporting its latest release, Dante XXI, a concept album based on Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy.”
Sepultura played its first show with new drummer Jean Dolabella this July. Dolabella replaced Igor Cavalera, who left in June. Igor is the brother of co-founder Max Cavalera, who left Sepultura in 1996 and subsequently formed Soulfly.
Sepultura last visited the U.S. in spring 2003, touring for a month with Voivod as support.
