Poor old Max, he has wanted a Sepultura reunion since, like, forever, despite claiming he doesn’t need one (insert the image of me rolling my eyes – actually don’t, too ugly). Despite him mentioning the possibilities of a reunion about 452,001 times last year, it seems Sepultura have just finished recording a new album, as their current line-up. I.e. Without him.
According to Blabbermouth, 13 tracks have been recorded during the sessions, including cover versions of Ministry‘s Just One Fix and The Prodigy‘s Firestarter, both of which are likely to be available as bonus tracks on various special-edition releases. You can also expect that Firestarter cover to be absolutely awful. Well, we’ll see… Could be worse though, they could be covering U2 again *shudder*
The, as yet, untitled album is expected for release in May this year. Is Sepultura still Sepultura without Max? Well, put it this way. Sex without my girlfriend is still sex. Okay, so I haven’t quite got round to telling her yet that I’m sleeping with someone else, but the point still stands. Is the sex better or worse? Well that’s for a different discussion.
