Surviving the pandemic gave us new perspective, and then two years ago my wife passed away from cancer. It made me realise that dying can bring new possibilities for life.

Kisser has said that he would be open to reuniting with any former members (particularly the Cavalera brothers) for one final show.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://metaladdicts.com/sepulturas-andreas-kisser-says-hes-open-to-play-with-max-and-iggor-cavalera-again/|title=SEPULTURA's ANDREAS KISSER Says He's Open To Play With MAX And IGGOR CAVALERA Again|website=metaladdicts.com|date=April 4, 2024|access-date=April 4, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/andreas-kisser-says-it-would-be-great-to-have-max-and-igor-cavalera-perform-with-sepultura-at-final-show|title=ANDREAS KISSER Says It Would Be 'Great' To Have MAX And IGOR CAVALERA Perform With SEPULTURA At Final Show|website=Blabbermouth.net|date=June 24, 2024|access-date=June 25, 2024}}</ref> Despite initially saying that he was open to reuniting with Sepultura,<ref name=classiclineup/> Max Cavalera ruled out this possibility in a July 2024 interview with ''[[Metal Injection]]'', explaining, "The more the time passes by, the more I feel that I don't need to [reunite with Sepultura]. Like I said, the real reunion is between myself and Igor, and I did that. It's pure magic and amazing what we're doing right now. You kind of have to realise if we end up doing a Sepultura reunion, it's almost like we can't go back to the [[Cavalera Conspiracy|Cavalera]] thing, you know? It won't really make sense."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/news/max-cavalera-no-sepultura-reunion-2024|title=Max Cavalera isn't open to a classic Sepultura reunion anymore: "The more the time passes by, the more I feel that I don"t need to"|website=loudersound.com|access-date=July 6, 2024|date=July 3, 2024}}</ref>
