SEPULTURA Singer’s First-Ever Photo Exhibition To Be Held In St. Petersburg

SEPULTURA singer Derrick Green‘s first-ever photo exhibition will be held from August 25 to September 25 at the Domina Prestige hotel (Moika Embankment 99) in St. Petersburg, Russia. All proceeds from the exhibition will be used to repair children’s home No. 7. This orphanage was chosen after much consultation and discussion with a representative of the public movement “Petersburg Parents“, based on the fact that the establishment is in poor condition and is located in a remote area that does not allow it to be supported by the city and business structures to the extent to which it can get a children’s home located in the city.

Green‘s photo exhibition in St. Petersburg is the first of a series of personal exhibitions from the SEPULTURA frontman, with additional events planned for other cities in Europe, including London and Moscow.

During his recent visit to St. Petersburg with SEPULTURA, Derrick was struck by the beauty and grandeur of the city, as well as the breadth of the Russian soul. He subsequently decided that his first exhibition should take place in Russia’s cultural capital.

Some of Green‘s photographic work can be found at this location.

SEPULTURA To Film Concert DVD With French Percussive Group LES TAMBOURS DU BRONX

Metal Hammer‘s Amit conducted an interview with vocalist Derrick Green and guitarist Andreas Kisser of Brazilian/American thrashers SEPULTURA before their August 10 performance at the Bloodstock Open Air festival at Catton Park, Derbyshire in the United Kingdom. You can now watch the chat below.

On SEPULTURA‘s plans for the remainder of 2012:

Andreas: “We’re going to Indonesia and Malaysia, we’re going to South America still, and we’re doing a cruise at the end of the year — Barge To Hell — which will be very interesting. And then we’re gonna stop. We’re already thinking about new ideas for the next album, so probably next year we’re gonna have something new going on. We have also plans to record a DVD with the French percussive group [Les Tambours Du Bronx], [with] which we did a show at [the] Wacken [Open Air] festival [in early August] — old SEPULTURA, new SEPULTURA music with them. And that’s the plan — finsi the year on a high note.”

On what SEPULTURA‘s new, 21-year-old drummer Eloy Casagrande has added to the band:

Derrick: “Definitely the fact that he’s young and that energy helps a lot. He’s a very disciplined drummer — he’s been playing since he was seven. And he’s been doing a lot of things by himself and playing with different people, and that’s really, really impressive. He had a lot of things put together before we even met him; he’s already done so much. And I think with us, a combination us together, it’s a great learning process for him to grow and at the same time, we’re learning a lot from him, so we can do this together. And this is something extremely important when you’re doing a band that’s been together for so long, to have this connection. And we felt this connection with him immediately. And we could tell that he was very focused and very committed to doing extremely good music.”

Casagrande joined SEPULTURA as the replacement for Jean Dolabella, who left the band because he could no longer handle being away from home for long periods of time.

Eloy is a 21-year-old drum prodigy from São Paulo, Brazil who won the Modern Drummer “Undiscovered Drummer” contest as a teenager in 2006.

Dolabella left SEPULTURA after a five-year run of relentless touring and two studio albums. He joined SEPULTURA in 2006 following the departure of the band’s original drummer, Igor Cavalera.

SEPULTURA is touring in support of its 12th studio album, and Nuclear Blast Records debut, “Kairos”, which hit stores in July 2011.

SEPULTURA frontman Derrick Green and ex-SEPULTURA drummer Jean Dolabella collaborated on a song for the ending credits in the “Scooby-Doo” animated television series. The track, entitled “Mysteries. Inc.!” was written by Dolabella and Doug Langdale and was recorded by Dolabella at Garage Studios in São Paulo, Brazil. It was then mixed by Augusto Nogueira at Pacific Studio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Says Green, “What sucks is they used the same song with different vocals from the voice of one the characters in the cartoon and he sucks badly!!! Just saying.”

Check it out in the YouTube clip below.

Dolabella left SEPULTURA last year because he could no longer handle being away from home for long periods of time. He has since been replaced by Eloy Casagrande.
