Editing Sepultura (section)

===Departure of Max Cavalera, Derrick Green joins and ''Against'' (1996–2000)===
In August 1996, Sepultura played on the Castle Donington [[Monsters of Rock]] main stage alongside [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]], [[Ozzy Osbourne]], [[Paradise Lost (band)|Paradise Lost]], [[Type O Negative]], [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]], and [[Fear Factory]]. The band was suddenly a three-piece with Andreas Kisser taking over on lead vocals after Max Cavalera left the concert site earlier in the day upon learning of the death of his stepson Dana Wells in a car accident. After Wells' funeral was finished, Max returned and continued to tour with Sepultura. A few months after Wells' death, the band had a meeting with Max and said that they wanted to fire their manager Gloria Bujnowski, who was Max's wife and Dana's mother, and find new management. Their reasoning was that Bujnowski was giving preferential treatment to Max while neglecting the rest of the band. Max, who was still coming to terms with the death of Wells, felt betrayed by his bandmates for wanting to get rid of Bujnowski and abruptly quit the band.<ref name="AllMusic Bio"/> Max Cavalera's final performance with Sepultura took place at the [[Brixton Academy]] in England on December 16, 1996.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Blabbermouth |date=2002-04-09 |title=Sepultura: Last-Ever Show With Max To Be Issued On CD |url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/sepultura-last-ever-show-with-max-to-be-issued-on-cd/ |access-date=2024-05-01 |website=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |language=en}}</ref> He officially left the band in January 1997 as the band opted not to renew a management contract with Bujnowski.<ref name="Max departure">{{multiref|{{cite news |language=Italian |title=l'Unità (1997-01-29) |newspaper=[[l'Unità]] |page=6 |date=29 January 1997 |url=https://archive.org/details/unita_1997-01-29/page/n21/mode/2up?q=%22Max+Cavalera%22 |access-date=1 March 2025 }}|{{cite news |language=Spanish |title=Diario Página/12 19970130 |newspaper=[[Página 12]] |pages=4–5 |date=30 January 1997 |url=https://archive.org/details/BNA_S001207768_19970130N00257No/page/n3/mode/2up?q=%22Max+Cavalera%22 |access-date=1 March 2025}}|{{cite magazine |title=Music News & Views |magazine=[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cash Box]] |date=7 February 1997 |location=New York City, New York |publisher=Cash Box Publications |page=30 |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Archive-RandR/1990s/1997/RR-1997-02-07.pdf |access-date=1 March 2025 }}|{{cite magazine |last=Lannert |first=John |title=Artists & Music |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=22 February 1997 |location=New York City, New York |page=30 |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1997/Billboard-1997-02-22.pdf |access-date=1 March 2025}}}}</ref>
