It’s a Tuesday afternoon and we’re heading to Hammersmith Apollo for the London date of the “Celebrating Life Through Death” European Farewell tour that doubles as the 40th Anniversary of Sepultura.

There is nothing quite like waking up in a tent on a hot summers morning during a festival, surrounded by the equally sleep deprived and yet… itching to sink a beer and witness some of the heros and heroines you’ve waited all year for. Five hash browns, a can of Monster and a latte chaser
