SEPULTURA Hard At Work On New Material
February 7, 2005Brazilian thrashers 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."
As previously reported, 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.
