RATOS DE PORÃO Frontman Joins SEPULTURA On Stage In São Paulo

João Gordo of Brazilian crossover legends RATOS DE PORÃO joined SEPULTURA on stage on October 25 at SESC Belenzinho in São Paulo, Brazil to perform the songs “Biotech Is Godzilla” and “Crucificados Pelo Sistema” (RATOS DE PORÃO cover).

Fan-filmed video footage of his appearance can be seen above.

SEPULTURA‘s new album, “The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart“, was released on October 25 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Although it was inspired by Fritz Lang‘s classic 1927 movie “Metropolis“, “The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart” is not a concept album or a soundtrack like its precedessors “Dante XXI” (based on “The Divine Comedy“) and “A-Lex” (based on “A Clockwork Orange“).
