SEPULTURA's new album,
"A-Lex" (which stands for "no law" or "without law"), is based on the
Anthony Burgess novel
"A Clockwork Orange" (later turned into the classic film by
Stanley Kubrick). Due before the end of the year via
SPV Records, the follow-up to 2006's
"Dante XXI" was recorded at in São Paulo, Brazil at
Trama Studios and was mixed at
Mega Studios. According to
SEPULTURA, the CD — which features 18 songs with a total playing time of 60 minutes — 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
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" listening session, which was attended by members of the music media, can be found at

SEPULTURA guitarist
Andreas Kisser will release his long-awaited solo debut, entitled
"Hubris I & II", in early 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."
