Sepultura's tenth studio album, ''[[Dante XXI]]'', was released on March 14, 2006. It is a [[concept album]] based on [[Dante Alighieri]]'s ''[[The Divine Comedy]]''. Music videos were released for the songs "Convicted in Life" and "Ostia".

In a 2007 interview with ''[[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]]'' magazine, Max Cavalera stated that he and Igor, both of whom had recently reconciled after a near decade-long feud, would reunite with the original Sepultura lineup.
