Sepultura delivered a stunning show in Vienna last night (Mon). Max and Igor Cavalera, the founding fathers of the legendary Brazilian heavy metal act, may have left the band years ago. However, Sepultura proved they have lost none of their live appeal as they delighted their Austrian fans at the Szene club in Vienna-Simmering yesterday.

The four-member band fronted by Derrick Green performed both classic tracks like "Refuse/Resist" and songs from their most recent recordings including the title track of their new album, "Kairos."

The gig took place just weeks before the Austrian Band Contest will be staged at the Szene (26 & 27 August, 2 & 3 August).
