SEPULTURA Complete Bass Tracks For New Album

September 20, 2005

According to a posting on SEPULTURA's official web site, the group's basist, Paulo Jr., finished recording the bass tracks for the band's new album last Sunday (Sept. 18). "Most of the bass lines were [written] in the studio, while recording them," the posting reads. "Song by song working on every detail. Amazing bass sound and really cool bass lines which will make the difference, for sure. You have to listen to understand!

"The guys will have a busy week. Tomorrow they will all be in the studio to listen to all the songs — now with drums, guitar and bass — to check how is everything going so far. If needed, Andreas [Kisser, guitar] will redo some stuff and then Derrick [Green] starts recording vocals.

"Thursday they take a break to practice for the show in the morning and do the sound check in the afternoon. On Friday the guys play with SLIPKNOT in São Paulo and right after that, back to the studio to finish recording the album."

SEPULTURA's 11th full-length album, tentatively titled entitled "Dante 05", is being recorded at Trama Studios in São Paulo, Brazil for an early 2006 release via SPV Records. The group had previously used Trama Studios to record the "Revolusongs" EP, which contained cover versions of songs from such acts as MASSIVE ATTACK to HELLHAMMER to JANE'S ADDICTION, and was included in the limited-edition digipack version of 2003's "Roorback".

Working under the watchful eye of producer Andre Moraes (with whom they've previously worked on various Brazilian film soundtracks),SEPULTURA's follow-up to "Roorback" will be "like a metal soundtrack for a movie, based on 'The Divine Comedy', but making a parallel with the days and situations we live today," says Kisser. The ten or eleven songs that will make it to the finished album are all based on the epic poetic masterpiece "The Divine Comedy" written by Italian author Dante Alighieri in the early 14th Century. The three main components of "The Divine Comedy" are Dante's descriptions of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise.

In addition to the 10 tracks that are set to appear on "Dante 05", SEPULTURA are recording two cover songs — JUDAS PRIEST's "Screaming for Vengeance" and SICK OF IT ALL's "Scratching the Surface" — which will be released as single b-sides in the future.
