About this album

Steamhammer (2009) Released: 23 Jan 2009 18 tracks (54:14)
A-Lex is the eleventh studio album by Brazilian metal band Sepultura. It is scheduled for release on January 23, 2009 by independent German record label SPV. This is the first album featuring new drummer Jean Dolabella, since the departure of Igor Cavalera in 2006.

This is the second concept album released by Sepultura, following 2006’s Dante XXI which was based on Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy. A-Lex is based on the 1962 book A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, which in 1971 was adapted into a film version by Stanley Kubrick.

The album was recorded in São Paulo at Trama Studios and mixed at Mega Studios during 2008, since February through the process of composition until August when the band finished the mixing process and revealed the track listing and album title.

Andreas Kisser stated about the influences obtained from Burgess work:
“ We will write our soundtrack for this story and Burgess’ life will be an inspiration also to write the music, lyrics and for the artwork.”

The title is also a pun on the main character from the novel, Alex and the Latin for “without law”: ab(away from) + lex(law); presumably, this is a reference to how Alex and his companions behaved.

    I don't understand the hatred for this album. The guitar tone is so fucking meaty that it sounds like a fucking sledgehammer. That's cliche as hell but seriously, its the best way to describe it. This is one of the best of latter day Sepultura.
