In another excerpt from the moving text published by plastic surgeon Ariane Garcia, married to Eloy Casagrande, she reveals some incidental details about the process of waiting for the invitation to Slipknot, confirming that it did not come immediately after Jay Weinberg left the band, But it didn’t take that long to happen.
“On November 5th, when I saw the announcement that Jay had left Slipknot, I immediately wrote to Peco, my heart felt, in some way, that that place was his”says Ariane. “Although many people were already considering your name, the invitation did not arrive immediately. And since then, we have been overcome by unprecedented anxiety. When, finally, you were called, even though we knew nothing about what would come until the ‘yes’ ‘ definitively, my smile swallowed me whole. That same day, I went to see Caetano singing ‘Transa’ beautifully and my desire was to shout from the stage the news that inflated my chest.”.

He would once again perform the show “Transa” in Salvador, at the Summer Festival held on January 28th. But the day before, Sepultura had already announced Eloy’s departure.
Ariane goes on to say that, for obvious reasons, they had to keep the secret very well hidden: “But we had to keep this entire complex and arduous process under lock and key, in silence. Nothing was easy. There were many, many sleepless nights, surprises and some sadness. Months of anguish. You lost weight and your fingers were even more injured than before. the usual. All because, like no one else, Eloy is obsessive and obsessed with the drums. Here there was never and is no middle ground.

The tension was immense and for several reasons that sometimes we can’t even imagine. From the mask to the impossibility of passing the sound. Everything was absolutely new and challenging. We had some stumbles, but I can guarantee that it was beautiful to see you. Seeing how much you grow over those dishes, how emotional you are, such is your intention and viscerality. The world saw it and will continue to see you and admire you more and more.”she finishes, excited.
