New drummer Eloy Casagrande has shared drum cam footage of him performing the band's song during a recent show. The clip can be viewed below. Former man last month, replacing in November 2023.
Following Weinberg's dismissal, which the band described as a creative decision, fans were quick to speculate that Casagrande would be hired after in February. Casagrande explained his decision to switch allegiances by saying: "The big thing, the reason I agreed to audition, was the end of Sepultura. The band was going to break up, and I didn’t want to stop playing drums at the age of 33.
"I had a chat with Slipknot, asked about their schedule and if it would be possible to juggle the two bands, but they said no, it wouldn’t be possible, I’d be exclusive. “So it was my decision to leave Sepultura."
