CD Sepultura – A-Lex

A-Lex marks a pivotal chapter in the storied career of Brazilian metal legends Sepultura. Released in 2009 via Steamhammer/SPV, this ambitious concept album is based on Anthony Burgess’s iconic novel A Clockwork Orange. It distinguishes itself as the first Sepultura record to feature neither of the founding Cavalera brothers, showcasing the band’s enduring vitality and evolution under the leadership of guitarist Andreas Kisser and vocalist Derrick Green.

Musically, A-Lex is a "blistering affair" that merges harsh thrash metal with raw punk aggression. Recorded at Trama Studios in São Paulo, the album explores a wide sonic palette across its 18 tracks—from the industrial death metal atmosphere of "We’ve Lost You" to the mid-tempo groove of "Metamorphosis." The release also features unique instrumental experimentation, including the classical-inspired "Ludwig Van" and the ambient synth sounds of the "A-Lex" sequence.

Key Features:

• Genre: Thrash Metal / Hardcore Punk / Groove Metal
• Concept: Based on the novel A Clockwork Orange
• Standout Tracks: "Moloko Mesto," "We’ve Lost You," and "What I Do"
• Production: Produced by Stanley Soares and Sepultura

Critically acclaimed for its energy and creativity, A-Lex is an essential addition for fans looking to experience Sepultura’s modern era of conceptual heavy metal.
