The band has gone through several membership changes throughout its 40-year existence, with Max and Igor Cavalera departing in 1996 and 2006, respectively. Sepultura's current lineup consists of singer Derrick Green, who replaced Max in 1997, guitarist Andreas Kisser, bassist Paulo Jr. and drummer Greyson Nekrutman, who replaced Eloy Casagrande in 2024. Since Igor Cavalera's departure in 2006, there have been no original members left in the band. Although Paulo Jr. joined Sepultura shortly after its formation in late 1984 and is the longest serving member, he did not play on any of the band's studio albums until Chaos A.D. (1993).[b] Kisser, who replaced onetime guitarist Jairo Guedz, has appeared on all of Sepultura's albums since their second full-length Schizophrenia (1987); he also recorded bass guitar until Chaos A.D..[b] In March 2024, after four decades together, the band began what has been announced as a year-and-a-half long farewell tour, after which they will disband.[1][19][20][21]
