Intervistato da Metal Assault, il bassista dei Sepultura Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr. si è detto entusiasta del nuovo "Machine Messiah" e che, a suo parere, è il miglior album con Green alla voce.
Queste le sue dichiarazioni:
I think it's a very unique record. Everybody is really happy with the final results. I think we achieved and conquered that what we thought since the beginning of the writing process. Everybody is very pleased and a lot of people, at the first listen to it, they were weird about it, but after a few times, the record grows into you.
E ancora:
To me, I think this is the best-sounding record in the past few years. Definitely, with Derrick [Green, vocals], this is the best record so far [in] Derrick's generation. We achieved sound-wise, composing-wise, I think, everything really fits and each song completes each other. We made a very unique record. I'm really enjoying playing these songs live and really enjoy still listening to the record. Sometimes a lot of artists get tired of listening to their own records, but this one is still very fresh and we still have a long way touring-wise. This is the first leg of the American tour. We're only going to have 50 minutes, but I hope we can come back to the United States and do the full set, like we're going to be doing everywhere else around the world."
