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. The Brazilian Thrash Gods have been a force of nature that have been around longer than some of their fans have been alive, so
