SEPULTURA Guitarist To Record Solo Album

February 25, 2005

SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser has inked a deal with Holland's Mascot Records to record his first solo album. Since his schedule with SEPULTURA is pretty hectic at the moment, Andreas is not expected to start the recordings before mid-to-late summer. An early 2006 release is anticipated.

As previously reported. SEPULTURA are in the process of writing material for their new studio album, which is said to be based on the "The Divine Comedy", widely considered the greatest epic poem of Italian literature, and one of the greatest of world literature. The band "have what they call 'ideas' for 18 songs, that means parts of songs with no final structure," reads a posting on the group's web site. "The next step is to record a pre-demo and start putting the pieces together."

SEPULTURA are scheduled to film a live DVD in March. The as-yet-untitled disc is expected to include behind-the-scenes footage shot by frontman Derrick Green over the past several years since he joined the band. SEPULTURA will reportedly write and record new songs to go with Green's film.

SEPULTURA's latest CD, "Roorback", was issued in North America in August 2003 via SPV Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Nation" was recorded and mixed by producer Steve Evetts (SNAPCASE, EARTH CRISIS) at Mosh Studios in São Paulo, Brazil, and was released in Europe in May 2003 through SPV.

Upcoming SEPULTURA shows:

Mar. 11 - La Paz, BOL @ TBA
Mar. 12 - Caracas, VEN @ TBA
Mar. 21 - Athens, GRE @ Rodon Club
Mar. 22 - Thessaloniki, GRE @ Mylos Club
