SEPULTURA Frontman Interviewed By THE AGE OF METAL (Audio)

Vocalist Derrick Green of Brazilian/American metallers SEPULTURA was recently interviewed by The Age Of Metal. You can now listen to the chat using the Mixcloud widget below.

SEPULTURA's new album, "The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart", will be released on October 25 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Although it was inspired by Fritz Lang's classic 1927 movie "Metropolis", "The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart" is not a concept album or a soundtrack like its precedessors "Dante XXI" (based on "The Divine Comedy") and "A-Lex" (based on "A Clockwork Orange").

"The Mediator Between The Head And Hands Must Be The Heart" was tracked over a 40-day period at producer Ross Robinson's (KORN, LIMP BIZKIT, SLIPKNOT) studio in Venice, California and was mixed and mastered by co-producer Steve Evetts, who previously worked with SEPULTURA on the "Nation" (2001),"Revolusongs" (2002) and "Roorback" (2003) albums, in addition to having collaborated with Ross on a number of other projects in the past.

In a recent interview with ConfrontMagazine.com, Green stated about "The Mediator Between The Head And Hands Must Be The Heart" album title: "The key elements are desire and mess. For example, there is an unbridgeable gap between people who live in luxury and people who work and live in poor conditions just so they can get by."

Green also spoke about the songwriting process in SEPULTURA, telling the site: "It comes naturally, because we've been playing together for such a long time so we kind of have the same opinions on sound and music. There's a lot of communication on what sounds great and what doesn't and what sounds bad. If something sounds bad, somebody would say something and we would compromise. Everybody writes. That's how we build our songs."
