HEARTBREAKING NEWS: Sepultura’s Derrick Green says he was “really in shock” at Eloy Casagrande exit for Slipknot……

Sepultura’s Derrick Green has looked back at Eloy Casagrande’s abrupt departure from the band earlier this year, stating that it left him “in shock”

Back in February, the Brazilian thrash-metal icons announced that their longtime drummer, Eloy Casagrande, had suddenly left the band after having been in the line-up for 13 years. The news came as a shock to fans, as it broke shortly before they were set to kick off their ‘Celebrating Life Through Death’ farewell tour dates.

He would later be confirmed as having joined Slipknot, following Jay Weinberg being unexpectedly ousted from the Iowa band around the same time.

Now, during a new interview vocalist Derrick Green has said that fans weren’t the only ones left surprised by Casagrande’s departure, as the news left him “in shock” too.
