"Yohan Kisser Releases His First Solo Album: 'The Rivals Are Fed And Rested' 

Yohan Kisser is carving his own path in the world of heavy music, but with a last name like Kisser, metal runs in his blood. The son of Andreas Kisser—legendary guitarist of Sepultura—Yohan grew up surrounded by crushing riffs and roaring crowds. But he's not just riding his father’s coattails. With a guitar in hand, he's been stepping into the spotlight, blending the raw energy of old-school thrash with a modern edge.

From jamming alongside his dad inside projects to exploring his own creative ventures, Yohan is becoming a force to reckon with. As he hones his craft, he's steadily proving that the Kisser legacy is far from over—it's just getting started.

"The Rivals Are Fed and Rested" was released today, the new album explores territories, showcasing Yohan Kisser's wide-ranging creative vision. The album is a rich blend of English and Portuguese lyrics, each track delivering a powerful, visceral message that hits listeners on a deep emotional level. It’s more than just a collection of songs—each piece feels like an immersive dive into different musical worlds, reflecting the artist's multifaceted identity.

“The album experiments with a wide array of musical styles and tones, but everything comes together into a cohesive narrative,” Yohan explains. “There are intimate moments, dedicated to my mother, and others that merge different languages. You’ll hear everything from piano and cello arrangements to grand, layered compositions with organs, keyboards, and synthesizers. Some tracks have no drums, some are purely piano and voice, and there are even songs that are just vocals.”

Recorded at Llama Records in São Paulo, Yohan worked with a talented trio: Guto Passos on bass, who also took on the role of producer, and William Paiva on drums. Their contribution shines through both in the recording process and live performances, giving the album a solid rhythmic foundation and emotional depth.

Yohan also made his mark in the album's visual direction. The cover art, fully created by him, features hand-drawn and painted portraits, underscoring his dedication and involvement in every phase of the project. "The Rivals Are Fed and Rested" isn’t just an album—it’s a complete artistic statement, from sound to sight.
