Guitarist Andreas Kisser of Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA has issued the following update:
"Just came back from Sepultura's first visit in the Philippines. It was awesome! We played in Manila at a festival organized by a beer company, Red Rock beer, very good and very strong beer. The festival was well organized, good sound and lights. Many local bands were part of the show during the day and more than 15,000 people showed up. Thanks to all involved on this, all the Philipino fans!!! Salama!
Photos of the Manila concert can be viewed at at Kisser's Flickr page here.
Sepultura have posted two new songs from our upcoming album A-LEX ('The Treatment' and 'We've Lost You') at this location.
SPV/Steamhammer will release A-LEX in Germany on January 23rd, in Europe on January 26th, and in the US/Canada on January 27th.
According to a press release, on their latest album, A-LEX, guitarist Andreas Kisser and his three colleagues, Derrick Green (vocals), Paulo Jr. (bass) and new addition Jean Dollabella (drums), have dedicated themselves to Anthony Burgess’s book ‘A Clockwork Orange’, creating an awesome thrash metal opus around this timeless and exciting subject.
The material was produced by Sepultura and Stanley Soares at the Trama Studios in Sao Paulo and mastered by George Marino at New York’s Sterling Sound studios. A-LEX is the first Sepultura album to feature new drummer Jean Dolabella, who joined the fold during the Dante XXI tour.
A-LEX will be available in three versions: in a deluxe Digipak with an embossed cover, in a regular jewel case and on a vinyl gatefold LP.
