Blabbermouth is reporting that Sepultura will be releasing their first full length offering without either of the Cavalera brothers in November.

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

SEPULTURA’s forthcoming CD will be the group’s first to feature drummer Jean Dolabella, who replaced founding member Igor Cavalera in 2006. Igor has since reunited with his brother and former SEPULTURA frontman Max Cavalera in CAVALERA CONSPIRACY.

Let’s face it, when Max left Sepultura, the band died. The band’s offerings since his departure have been mediocre at best. Now with Igor gone, I don’t see how the band will record anything that isn’t a complete steaming pile of shit… especially considering they were recording complete steaming piles of shit when he was still with them. Considering the Cavalera Conspiracy album was solid and the new Soulfly is surprisingly decent (less nu metal, more thrash!), the remaining members of Sepultura are really going to have to step it up unless they want to be known as the guys who ruined one of the biggest bands in metal. When Soulfly starts writing better music than you, you know you fucking suck!
