Ako si ove srednje ocene pokupio sa Metal Archives ili kako se vec zove, to onda nema nikakvu tezinu. Tamo sam naisao na toliku kolicinu gluposti da bi se mogao napraviti sjajan fanzin u kome razni napaljenici pljuju sve redom. Ajd da napravimo listu 20 najboljih thrash metal albuma i siguran sam da ce se na Metal Archives naci dva puta toliko recenzija u kojima neko objasnjava da to i nisu neki albumi... Sto se Sepulture tice, jebe mi se za recenzije, i novi Kreator je na Blabberu dobio 8,5 cini mi se, a ako je on za 8,5, onda je Coma of Souls 12,5. Recenzije variraju po kvalitetu i objektivnosti, pa kad bi neko sudio po Butcherian Vibe-u mislio bi da su Destruction najveci bend na svetu . To je posebna tema i voleo bih da je negde pokrenemo, posto su kod nas retki ljudi koji su zaista dobro i kompetentno pisu o metalu. Ovde mislim na domace recenzente (malo odoh od teme ).

Za Gojka: Ajd nam, zivota ti, rastumaci gornji post, a glede Andreasove izjave...Nista te nisam razumeo.

Max je pre par dana izjavio da je svojevremeno samo on voleo "Clockwork Orange" film, a da je ostalima u bendu bio nezanimljiv, pa da mu je stoga bezveze sto je novi album inspirisan bas tim filmom. Ono sad, imam neki butleg gde Paolo svira upravo u "Clockwork Orange" majici na Beneath The Remains turneji, a i tesko da bi ovi radili ceo album po knjizi/filmu koji im se ne dopada, cime dolazimo do toga da Max prica gluposti poput neke zene. A evo i Kissera: SEPULTURA's ANDREAS KISSER Slams 'Crazy' MAX CAVALERA Over Reunion Talk - Jan. 19, 2009 David E. Gehlke of Blistering.com recently conducted an interview with SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below. Blistering.com: What drew you to the concept of "A Clockwork Orange" [as the inspiration for the new SEPULTURA album, "A-Lex"]? Kisser: We're very big fans of the movie. It's a classic. Very special and powerful and I'm familiar with the story and consequences. Since we did the "Dante XXI" album that was inspired by a book, we went onto movies and in Brazil, we have soundtracks. It's great to write music for a movie and you get more creative and the more limitations you have [with the storyline], the more creative you get. In the movies, you have to respect the director and certain scenes, storyline, so you do stuff you normally wouldn't do. We have to do more with less. Blistering.com: Is there any resentment toward the new lineup in Brazil? In North America, it seems the old lineup is that all people want to concern themselves when it comes to SEPULTURA. Kisser: Everywhere we feel very positive vibrations. Max has played a lot more in America than us, so his point of view was spread much more in the press. I guess that's normal, it's propaganda. Max [Cavalera; former SEPULTURA and current SOULFLY/CAVALERA CONSPIRACY frontman] is crazy — he says crazy stuff in interviews, contradicts himself a lot and you can never count on what he says, so I guess people are confused. People can say or think whatever they want, but I wish we could have done without that. We are going to have the chance to go back to America. This album is really strong and the reaction has been strong as well. I've been doing a lot of interviews with people in the United States and it's been very positive. People have to listen to the music with an open mind and ears and not with all the gossip and politics and bullshit. SEPULTURA is something that is alive. It's not something that stopped in '95 or '96. We create this band everyday. Blistering.com: Do you brace yourself with every interview you do for the question regarding a SEPULTURA reunion? Kisser: Definitely [laughs]. Since Max left, it's been going on and when Igor left…even more so. Some people make up the pressure for us to do it, but there's nothing to it — we're not interested in it all. We're very focused on what we're doing now and that's because we want to lead and do whatever we want. I don't understand all of this bullshit. We're very alive and looking toward the future — we're not plastic people. Blistering.com: Along those lines, do you think had you decided to be more vocal about the split, there would have been more focus on this version of SEPULTURA? Kisser: I don't buy that stuff. Max is crazy and doesn't make any sense and can change from month to month. There's nothing good about it and there's one version of the story and we have ours and we know what happened. We're not into revising history or telling a story regarding what happened. Only time will tell. Talk is cheap. You can say whatever you want, but your actions and ability to do things, that's what counts. We'll do it. We're not talking [laughs].

Evo vesti, cisto da drzimo temu zivom: okacili su na You Tube klip sa probe kako probaju Mass Hypnosis i Amen + Arise (lepo, lepo). Najavili su jos neka iznenadjenja u set listi, ali to svaki bend kaze pred turneju .

Madball i laksativi :) Dobio sam prosle nedelje gomilu bootleg dvd snimaka Sepulture i na jednom od njih Kerry King (London 1998) gostuje na Propagandi. Bas su se fino podelili, Toma sa Soulfly, Kerry sa Sepulturom, mogao bi Jeff nesto da odsvira sa Cavalera Conspiracy .

Pa Max i jeste u tom fazonu: "Cool, yeah, cheers....", sad mi pade napemet da kada je Soulfly prvi put bio kod nas, Bosko je radio intervju sa njim za Rock Express (jedan od retkih stvarno dobrih intervjua u REX-u) i da je Max ladno rekao da se divi Monte Conoru iz Roadrunnera jer je on ostao fan pre svega, Monte zna napamet koja je treca stvar na Schizophreniji i sl. Nisam mogao da verujem sta ovaj prica, on je bre pisao te pesme, ali to samo potvrdjuje da je on samo simpaticni mediokrititet. Sto se njegove opaske za Tankard tice, on je u principu u pravu, ali ja to i ne bih doziveo kao neku uvredu. Tankard jesu drugorazredni pijani nemacki thrash metal bend, ali i u drugoj ligi se (bar na zapadu ) igra dobar fudbal. Ne bih sada da ulazim u polemike sa Tankard fanovima, meni su oni sasvim dobri, ali do odredjene mere. Sto se slave i popularnosti tice, Sepultura su Beneath The Remains prodali preko svih ocekivanja za dve godine u 200.000 primeraka, ali su tada svirali klupske turneje, cesto kao predgrupa (Sodom i Mercyful Fate npr.). Svi video butlezi koje barem ja imam su iskljucivo iz klubova. Njihova popularnost je konstatno rasla i pred izlazak Arise se o njima vec mnogo pricalo, a onda je izasao Arise koji je bio toliko dobar da su ih slusali i metalci koji nisu slusali thrash ili death (tad nije bilo podpravaca k'o danas , ali opet nisu svi slusali sve ). Tada su presli u veca mesta i hale. Chaos A.D. su vec hale, a Roots rasprodati koncerti pred 10-ak hiljada ljudi.

Evo na temu reuniona, sta Andreas misli o tome: On the subject of a possible reformation of SEPULTURA's most successful lineup, Kisser said, "It's gotta be happening naturally. It's like, this reunion type of commentary that's been going on forever, but mainly the last two years, they really tried to approach and tried to make it happen. But, I mean, it's so ridiculous. You've gotta be very careful. There's a lot of reunions that happened that were totally shit and really destroyed careers and stuff. It's gotta be done right. We have really to enjoy playing with each other and respect each other and discuss ideas and create something special and new — besides trying just to ignore everything that happened and just do the 'Roots' tour. It's [like] being slaves of ourselves — it gets to a point where people let the name take control of what they are. And it's totally the opposite — in SEPULTURA you get reborn every day pretty much, and you have to recreate yourself. That's more exciting instead of being just food for expectations of whatever people who might think they know better what we are than ourselves. So I really don't like to see SEPULTURA that way. That's why nothing happened and we are very focused on what we're doing right now. All the rest is just whatever people think, or opinions, which… I respect them all, but that's not gonna change what we're doing right now." When asked how close things got to there actually being a "Roots" lineup reunion, Andreas replied, "Not really close. There was a lot of [throwing] ideas around — mainly managers and agents and a lot of bullshit going on, which was not very healthy for what people expect to see from SEPULTURA. It was never something that we stopped what we were doing to work for that — not at all. We never really quit and we kept touring and doing our stuff and our plans and nothing really happened seriously. . . The money is great and sadly, this is what people think of first — only money. They just try to really make it, 'Here's some amount of money, let's do it.' It's not like that. It's something much bigger. I have to live with my decision for the rest of my life, so I'm not gonna sell myself for some opportunity for everybody to make money. So that's why we're still really focused on what we're doing and not really worried about other bullshit."

Za Theory Of Chaos: Lepa ti ova kompilacija, razgali coveka kad se vrati sa posla, jos sam pre toga se odusevio sa Live Madness Morbid Angel-a, ja mislio da je to maltene neki bootleg, kad ono tri kamere, ton iz mixera, David pre nego sto je pirsovao sisu ... Sto se kompilacije tice, fin izbor, narocito me je Reject razgalila. Evo malo vesti o Sepulturi, a uploadovacu kasnije kompilaciju sa 26 obrada, vecina je zvanicno objavljena, neke su sa bootlega. Yesterday night SEPULTURA shot the video for "We've Lost You" in São Paulo, Brazil. Cold night, the shooting started at 1AM and went thru the night. Directed by Andre Moraes (IMDb), the band shot the scenes under a fake milk rain. Behind the band, posing as the "guardians" 30 die-hard SEPULTURA fans that were selected thru the website to be on the video. Thank you guys! That water was really cold, we know it and we appreciate you effort! The video will premiere in January 2009 before the release of A-LEX, SEPULTURA's new album schedule to be released January 23rd worldwide.

Pa i ja se zajebavam, nisam mislio da ti nesto prebacujem i sl. Mada i dalje stojim da je kvalitet na strani Sepulture, a ne Soulfly-a ili Cavalera Conspiracy . Novi album polako leze, a i ne zuri mi se, do sledeceg ce proteci 3 godine. Sepulturin veliki problem je to sto su na nicijoj zemlji, niti su cist metal, niti su cist hard core. Ustvari to je problem slusaoca jer dobar deo publike uzima stvari po difoltu "aha, oni su nekada bili dobri, sad su bezveze, necu ni da slusam albume, ali cu ih pljuvati gde stignem". Vec sam napisao najmanje dva puta do sada, pricao sam sa gomilom klinaca koji ih ispljuju, a onda se ispostavi da ih i ne slusaju, u najboljem slucaju su videli neki spot sa Greenom. Starijoj ekipi ne prija hard core zvuk i meni je to ok kao razlog. Trebalo mi je 3-4 meseca da provalim Against, bili su mrtvi za mene, a kada mi se album "otvorio" potpuno sam drugacije poceo da dozivljavam bend i sve predhodne albume, a i ove posle. Ovaj novi je poprilicno nekomercijalan, ali ce moci da se slusa na duze staze, a meni je to vazno. I, da, jako je bitno da sviraju u februaru kod nas, zato odjebite sa hate postovima.

i ja se krstim sto znaci da nisam metalac?pa i nisam,ja samo slusam metal.boze kakvih li gluposti ovde necu procitati Stvarno imas sjajan smisao za humor.

Mislis kao Piksi kad je dao drugi gol spancima '90, pa potrcao u zagrljaj Osimu? Ne, to je bilo krstenje po katolicki. U svakom slucaju cini mi se da imas mesta za jos najmanje tri obrnuta krsta na avataru, pa ih mozes dodati u slobodno vreme, tako ce biti vise true i old school. A Max jeste ovca, i to jos negde od 1993/4. Ustvari kada sam gledao neki intervju za Roots album, davne 1996, moj prijatelj je prokomentarisao da lici na shatiranog curana. Ne znam da li je ovo poredjenje sa curanom dovoljno SEJTAn, treba proveriti sta su sve tokom karijere Gorgoroth i Mayhem razapinjali po bini.

Na Metal Archives sam nasao da uopste i postoji, a sa Thrash Armagedona sam ga skinuo. Inace, sam spot je plejbek na nekoj budzetnoj bini uz fin lajt i nesto efekata na video mixeru. Glupi Atlantic bi mogao da izbaci sve spotove na nekom DVD disku, plus jos kakav lep live snimak koji sigurno imaju.

Jebes stim, bitne su pesme. Evo linkova sa metalmanie: Dead Embyonic Cells - http://www.mediafire.com/?jtmyjit4ny4 Convicted in Life - http://www.mediafire.com/?ddn2ezntzwy Za Gojka: kakav si ti to metalac kada se krstis?!? Gledas da te na sledecem partijskom sastanku eskomuniciraju. I kakvi su ti ovo obrnuti lanci i katanci na avataru? Ako se lozis na Maxa trebao bi da znas da je on sveze otkriveni hriscanin, cak je i neke ikone kacio na pojacala.

Nedavno sam sklopio na jedan dvd sve njihove spotove i mirna srca mogu da tvrdim da je ovaj najgori. Matore konjine da se ovako pale na kompjuterske efekte koji vec sada izgledaju zastarelo. Jel zna neko gde bih mogao da skinem spotove za Over The Wall i Greenhouse Effects u boljem kvalitetu?

Imate je na Metlamania 2007 dvd-iju, zajedno sa Dead Embryonic Cells i False. Skroz dobro lezi uz stare stvari, a ovde je i False odlicno ispala. Svi snimci sa Dolabelom koje sam video dobro zvuce. Videcemo za novi album. Spot je odlican. Nikako da nadjem spot za Ostiu u dobrom kvalitetu.

Nista ne fali ni Crown & Milter ili Fightning On, npr. Vecina ljudi koji pljuju Sepulturu ili nije slusala albume sa Greenom ili samo ponavlja ono sto je cula od drugih. Sepultura je uspela da odrasta sa svojom muzikom, da ne izgledaju kao matorci koji se pale da jos imaju 22 godine i da su osamdesete u samom jeku. Ono sto je RNA napisao za gubljene publike je tacno, ali opadanje publike je prestalo nakon Roorback albuma, tacnije Dante XXI je bio uspesna turneja. Od 40 termina u Evropi cetvrtina je bila sold out. Svirali su dva puta Evropu i jednom Ameriku, plus Juzna Amerika i treci svet gde su jos uvek jako veliki. Imam bootlege sa poslednjih turneja, ljudi se uredno provode sta god da se svira bilo nove bilo starije pesme. U poslednjem broju Butcheriana Ljubanovic je posredno ispljuvao Chaos A.D. i Roots na racun Cavalera Conspiracy, sto je glupost i umisljenost kosmickih razmera. Oba albuma su dobra, narocito Chaos A.D., ni ja kada su izasli nisam bio presrecan zbog sve manje thrash uticaja, ali pljuvati takve albume jedino govori o stepenu necije napaljanosti i realnog nepoznavanja onog o cemu pise.

Oni bi nastavili u slicnom stilu i da je Max ostao u bendu, tako da su bespredmetni napadi na Greena. Ako nista drugo Sepultura je redak primer benda koji se stalno menja, pa i po cenu gubljenja publike. Ici cu verovatno i na Kreator jer ih mnogo volim, ali poslednji album je cista kalkulacija: malo cemo biti brutalni i brzi, malo melodicni, uhvatio sam semu za refrene jos na Violent Revolution i rabicu je i ovaj put, tekstovi malo levicarski, malo apokalipticni .... JBG, mozda sam postao baksuz vremenom, ali ja na Hordes Of Chaos nisam cuo ni jedan jedini ton koji bi iznenadio. Slicno kao i na poslednjem Slayeru, vrlo malo toga novog ili stvarno svezeg. Sto se Sepulture tice Against je poslednje remek delo ovog benda, Dante XXI je dosta dobar, a Nation i Roorback su albumi tranzicije i imaju svojih dobrih momenata. Videcemo kako ce biti sa novim albumom...

Ovo mi je ulepsalo dan, samo da ne bude otkazivanja. Videcemo set listu za turneju, ali poslednje set liste su bile sjajne. Gledao sam par bootlega i sve obecava sjajnu svirku. Ko tada jos svira sem Kreatora? Ako se uradi ozbiljna kampanja Sepultura ce dobro proci, po prvi put dolaze, mada ce delimicno zavisiti i od prijema novog albuma. Mozda je Max zaradio vise para, ali kvalitet je na strani Sepulture.

Brazil's SEPULTURA is a prime example of an intelligent thrash metal act whose powerful compositions continue to tackle exciting and ingenious subjects. 1996 saw the band devote its landmark release "Roots" to the fate of the Xavante Indians on the border of Brazil and Bolivia; in spring 2006 the musicians put to music an opus by the Italian poet and philosopher Dante Alighieri, on their album "Dante XXI". Now this concept has reached a new climax: on their latest release, "A-Lex", guitarist Andreas Kisser and his three colleagues, Derrick Green (vocals), Paulo Jr. (bass) and new addition Jean Dollabella (drums), have dedicated themselves to Anthony Burgess's book "A Clockwork Orange", creating an awesome thrash metal opus around this timeless and exciting subject. "A lot of people know Stanley Kubrick's film 'A Clockwork Orange', which is a movie classic, but few realize that the last chapter of the book is missing from the film. And that's what in my opinion is extremely important for the message that Anthony Burgess wanted to convey: it's your own free will, your own free choice, in which environment you choose to move," Kisser explains his interpretation of this historic publication. "Following his stay in hospital, Alex, the book's main character, returns to society, meets old friends, finds a wife and starts a family. He makes this choice of his own will, irrespective of what the government had in mind for him." The recording is divided into four chapters, the first three of which cover the familiar plot from the movie, while chapter four reflects the final part of the story from the book. "Every chapter, from 'Alex I' to 'Alex IV', starts with a brief introduction which allows the listener to follow the story at all times," Kisser explains. Along with SEPULTURA's familiar raw metal tunes, which are omnipresent on the one-hour recording, they have authentically translated Alex's affinity with Ludwig van Beethoven: supported by classical symphonic musicians from Sao Paulo, the track "Ludwig Van" picks up Beethoven's "9th Symphony" and transposes it into a heavy metal context. This number is a definite must, and it would be impossible to optimise this combination of classical music and savage thrash metal. Obratiti paznju na prvu recenicu .

Bas gledam 'cert... Dave je sebi zadao jako tezak domaci sa Rude Awekening DVD-ijem i postavom. Cini mi se da su ovaj koncert i postava malo bolji od Buenos Aires ekipe i koncerta, ali jos uvek slabiji od Rude Awekening postave i one iz 90-ih (Warchest DVD). Set lista mi je tako-tako, on nema nesto previse pesama koje moze izvuci kao koncertne favorite, a i izgleda da ga mrzi da nesto mnogo obnavlja set listu, sem sa novim pesmama. Lepo je sto se setio Take No Prisoners. Dave nastavlja tradiciju objavljivanja puno boljih DVD-ija nego studijskih albuma .

Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA will release their new album, "A-Lex" (which stands for "no law" or "without law"), on January 26, 2009 via SPV Records. The CD, which is based on the Anthony Burgess novel "A Clockwork Orange" (later turned into the classic film by Stanley Kubrick), was recorded at in São Paulo, Brazil at Trama Studios and was mixed at Mega Studios. According to SEPULTURA, the follow-up to 2006's "Dante XXI" features 18 songs with a total playing time of 60 minutes and was completed in record time because it is basically a recording of the band's studio jams captured over a three-month period.

Clip je malo stariji , u svoje vreme je bio hit na you tubu... Izasao je Metalmania 2007 DVD i na njemu zajedno sa Testament, Destruction, Vital Remains, Blaze B., Zyclon, Paradice Lost te jos ponekima je i Sepultura. Tri stvari: Convicted In Life, False i Dead E. Cells. Skroz dobro zvuce, narocito False, najbolja verzija ove pesme, barem sto sam ja slusao. Sem Sepulture "banku" drze Entombed koji bi nazad mogli da objave neki DVD (od Monkey Puss ima 10 godina, a pritom su na njemu jos starije stvari) i Testament (pet stvari, standardna voznja).

On je Fircija potkacio nekoliko puta u knjizi , nimalo nezno. Prvi put za onaj live 88, za koji se ispostavilo da je ustvari snimak probe iz studija M, na koji je ubacena publika, a od koga Magi nije videla ni dinara, a drugi put za EKV Revisited disk. Stvari oko prava na EKV pesme su ekstremno komplikovane. Ispada da se porodice svih preminulih clanova nesto pitaju, a ponajvise Milanova majka. Tu je i bivsi mendzer (1990-94) Dule Ercegovac koga je Magi vrlo lose predstavila u knjizi i koji prakticno zastupa Milanovu majku. Firci je bas zbog prava obradio samo poslednja cetiri albuma izdata za PGP, a Ilic smatra da nije imao prava da to cini (Ilic je uz Magi cinio EKV records i puno je ulozio u celu tu pricu oko EKV recordsa). Djuleta je potkacio uzgredno... ne poznajem Djuleta licno, ali kao javna licnost - Djule Van Gogh je za svaku osudu i kritiku. Da je Milan ziv i aktivan, Djule ne bi mogao da prodaje maglu i prica gluposti kao sto inace radi poslednjih 15 godina. Gledao sam prosle godine Van Gogh uzivo, sticajem okolnosti i na prvoj pesmi su zvucali kao sa cd-a. I kao: "svaka cast, koji nivo, koji profesionalizam...". Medjutim kada smo se malo udubili uvideli smo da zvuce kao cd zato sto gomila toga i ide sa traka. Djule trci kroz publiku i u jednom trenutku pokazuje toncu da mu pojaca zvuk u slusalicama, drzi spusten mikrofon, a glas se i dalje cuje sa razglasa, ispada da on uzivo sam sebi eventualno peva terce. Gotovo sigurno i da deo pratecih ide sa matrica, kao i neke semplovane gitare i jos kojesta. Kada su u pesmi Mama ostali sami, njih cetvoro, zvucali su vrlo skromno, tacnije ritam sekcija ok, gitare nista posebno, isto i pevanje. Ni pre ih nisam mnogo voleo, ali posle ovoga - dno dna.

Postoji nekoliko knjiga o Ekatarini Velikoj koje su vredne paznje, ovi malo stariji ih odlicno znaju. Prva je Decak iz vode u kojoj su stihovi Milanovih pesama i gomila fotografija, nedavno je reizdata. Druga je Mesto u mecavi Aleksandra Zikica i to je neka vrsta Milanove biografije, a samim tim i EKV-a. Vrlo lepo i odmereno napisana knjiga koju je svojevremeno Rock Express omalozavao bez razloga. Zikic je sjajan novinar, krajnje odmeren i precizan, apsolutno kompententan, sa sjajnim stilom pisanja. U knjizi nema dela o drogama ili nekih preteranih detalja o privatnom zivotu clanova grupe. Toga imate puno vise u sveze izasloj knjizi Vrati unatrag Saleta Ilica (EKV records) koji se i pojavljivao u vecerasnjoj emisiji. On je bio Margitin blizak prijatelj poslednjih 6-7 godina zivota, zna odlicno beogradsku scenu i muzicare i nije sklon mistifikovanju istih, a opet ima puno simpatija za dosta njih. U knjizi su njegova secanja na druzenje sa Margitom i njena direktna ispovest koja pokriva celu karijeru benda. Ovde nema ulepsavanja, nema zavijenih odgovora. Mnogi ce je iskoristiti za pljuvanje po EKV-u. Treba uzeti u obzir da Sale bespogovorno veruje Margiti i da neke njene izjave i pojasnjenja zvuce neverovatno. Toliko da je tesko poverovati u njih. Knjiga je vrlo sirova i direktna i koliko sam cuo Firci je najavio tuzbu, a izmedju ostalih i onaj prevarant Djule je potkacen. Uz knjigu ide i disk EKV-a.
