Andreas Kisser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Rudolf Kisser (born August 24, 1968 in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil) is the guitarist for Sepultura. Originally the guitar roadie for lead singer/rhythm guitarist Max Cavalera, Kisser was asked to join the band in 1986 when Jairo Guedz departed. He is largely responsible for bringing a more progressive sound to the band starting with the "Schizophrenia" album (1987).

During his early days, he frequently used Charvel/Jackson guitars (especially the one with Red Hot Chili Peppers' stickers and the white Randy Rhoads model for the Arise album). Recently he is being endorsed by Fender and is using Stratocaster model.

In 1992 Andreas unsuccessfully auditioned for the position of rhythm guitarist of Metallica, as a temporary replacement of James Hetfield, who had suffered severe burns on his hand during a live show.

Kisser and drummer Igor Cavalera became the major creative forces in Sepultura after Max Cavalera's 1996 departure.

Kisser is also involved in several Brazilian movie soundtracks projects, namely 'No Coração dos Deuses' and 'Belini e a Esfinge'.

He is currently married to Patricia Perissinotto Kisser, and has three children: Giulia, Yohan, and Enzo.
