SEPULTURA Announces 'Innovative' Fan Contest; Video Available

April 21, 2008

Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA are currently in the studio working on their new album, which is based on the Anthony Burgess novel "A Clockwork Orange" (later turned into the classic film by Stanley Kubrick).

Known for its creativity and ideas, the band has teamed up with MySpace for an extremely innovative fan contest, "Be A Part Of The Next Sepultura Record."

Beginning today (Monday, April 21),the MySpace international sites in the following countries will be actively participating in the contest: USA, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Mexico, India, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Brazil.

From April 21 to May 11, MySpace and SEPULTURA are inviting fans to submit a sentence or "catch phrase" relating to "A Clockwork Orange". On May 23, SEPULTURA and MySpace will announce the winning sentence! And on May 30 the band will write and record a song based on the winning phrase in 24 hours! And yes, this song will be on the upcoming album, which is tentatively set for a late fall release worldwide.

Watch a short video clip of SEPULTURA announcing the fan contest below.

SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser recently completed work on his solo debut, entitled "Hubris I & II". A two-disc set, it is tentatively scheduled for release later in the year via Holland's Mascot Records. The CD was recorded in part at A Voz do Brasil studio in So Paulo, Brazil.

Kisser previously stated about his upcoming solo album, "I'm very pleased with the result so far 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."

SEPULTURA's video for the song "Ostia" can be viewed on YouTube. The second clip from the Brazilian thrashers' "Dante XXI" album was shot at a studio in So Paulo, Brazil in March 2007 prior to the band's departure for their European tour. During the following week, the video crew and the main actor shot the outdoor scenes in downtown So Paulo. The script, which adapts the story from the book "The Divine Comedy" to the modern days, was directed by Geraldo Moraes.
