Sepultura Still Selling Big In Brazil
February 1, 2009 by Scott
Sepultura’s A-Lex came out this past week and so far the numbers in Brazil are selling quite well. No news yet on how well the album has sold in the U.S. or other territories, but it’s has moved around 5000 copies this past week in Sepultura’s motherland of Brazil. I know the title says “Selling Big”, but 5000 copies for a metal band in it’s first week is a great start.
I wrote a review of A-lex last week and my initial reaction is that it’s a good Sepultura record considering my previous dislike for Derrick Green’s vocals. Fans that continued to like Sepultura’s albums after Max Cavalera’s departure will probably enjoy A-Lex as will a lot of people that didn’t. Check out my bare-bones review here. My favorite track is “What I Do”.

Yeah, What I Do is pretty intense. I’m pretty stoked that I was able to pick it up free from Amazon pre-release. I might dip back into the release for the tracks Filthy Rot, The Treatment, and Sadistic Values.
I was able to listen to them full-length on last.fm back on 1/16, and they were pretty tight. Sounds like Sepultura again. Nothing quite as memorable as Cavalera era stuff, but the closest they’ve been since D.G. came on board.
Wonderful disk!!! My favorites are What I do and Moloko Mesto. So far I have heard it 50/60 times and can not tired. I apologize for my poor English. Hello world. W NEW SEPULTURA.
