Sepultura Delay New Album

Brazilian thrashers Sepultura will release their new album, "A-Lex" (which stands for "no law" or "without law"), on January 26, 2009 via SPV Records. The CD, which is based on the Anthony Burgess novel "A Clockwork Orange" (later turned into the classic film by Stanley Kubrick), was recorded at in São Paulo, Brazil at Trama Studios and was mixed at Mega Studios. According to Sepultura, the follow-up to 2006's "Dante XXI" features 18 songs with a total playing time of 60 minutes and was completed in record time because it is basically a recording of the band's studio jams captured over a three-month period.

Sepultura's forthcoming CD will be the group's first to feature drummer Jean Dolabella, who replaced founding member Igor Cavalera in 2006. Igor has since reunited with his brother and former Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera in Cavalera Conspiracy.

"A-Lex" track listing:

01. "A-Lex I"
02. "Moloko Mesto"
03. "Filthy Rot"
04. "We've Lost You"
05. "What I Do!"
06. "A-Lex II"
07. "The Treatment"
08. "Metamorphosis"
09. "Sadistic Values"
10. "Forceful Behavior"
11. "Conform"
12. "A-Lex III"
13. "The Experiment"
14. "Strike"
15. "Enough Said"
16. "Ludwig Van"
17. "A-Lex IV"
18. "Paradox"

Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser will release his long-awaited solo debut, entitled "Hubris I & II", in 2009 via Holland's Mascot Records. A two-disc set, the self-produced effort was recorded in part at A Voz do Brasil studio in São Paulo, Brazil.

Kisser previously stated about the album, "I'm very pleased with the result and I'm excited to hear it all done. It was a long process, a learning process and a great experience. It's a musical journey trough the influences I had for last 15 years of my life and at the same time it's very different from everything I did so far."

"Hubris" comes from Greek word "hybris," which means "excessive pride, wanton violence."

i think they were at their best with max.

[AngryGoldfish]

hope it all goes well for them. Really do. Great respect for them.

[Prince of Rinse]

Wait, so neither of the Cavalera brothers are in Sepultura? Whats the point? Ah well, Conquer by Soulfly was really good, as was Inflikted by CC, so I am not really fussed about Sepultura anymore.

[chimpinatux]

Despite the fact that sepultura arent really the same without max or igor, i think its a pretty cool concept they are putting out here.

[Jordmo]

Change the name of the band.

[valdean]

I didn't like the last two albums. (mabye 3, Roots wasn't really that good.)
Max and Igor is what made them Sepultura, I think.

Checked.

I can't wait for this, I LOVED Dante XXI, one of their best albums.

[PissInMyShoeses]

Fuck
The one album i was really looking forward to....

[motorbreath_445]

k, i gotta say this, am i the only one who thinks this is VERY similar to death angels killing season cover? and though there is no igor or max, i SILL may check this out

[motorbreath_445]

k, i gotta say, cool cover, but didnt death angel do somethin erily similar for killing season? and no max or igor = shit version of sepultura, but ill still prolly check this out

Heard you the first time.

As someone who has seen BOTH Derrick-Sepultura and Soulfly live, I can say Derrick whoops Max on the stage. Shoot me if you want, but IMO Sepultura was at its best with Igor but without Max.

blasphemy! are you kidding me? sepultura was at it's best with max (morbid vision/bestial, schizo, beneath, arise) best albums by sepultura....

[Shinsen88]

Without Max or Igor can they really even be called Sepultura anymore? Derrick is good, but I still wish Max would come back. I guess I'll check out the new album regardless...

[Filip413]

I love Sepultura with or without Max and Igor so im really looking forward to this album.

[filthylittleboy]

max doesn't care. why should all of you?

why can't sepultura be sepultura and CC/soulfly be CC/Soulfly??

they didn't want to stop making music. that deserves respect all over the play field. grow up people.

[Pingis_Or_Death]

The artwork does actually look a lot like killing season by death angel...
