Before you get caught up trying to decipher the sprawling title of SEPULTURAs 13th album, The Mediator Between Head and Hand Must Be the Heart, the core principle behind it is inspired by dystopian themes conveyed in the 1927 silent film classic, Metropolis. This sort of delving should be no surprise to SEPULTURA followers, since Andreas Kisser of late has been consulting literary and cinematic works for inspiration, trending by the bands recent works Dante XXI and A-lex. 2011s Kairos was more of a straightforward SEPULTURA venture with no real concept and fans at-large embraced the chewy and thrashy tone of that album. Thus, consider The Mediator Between Head and Hand Must Be the Heart more in the same vein from the standpoint that Kisser and SEPULTURA 2013 (which now includes Eloy Casagrande on the drums in the stead of Jean Dolabella) are concentrating on linear modes of thrash and mash with extracurricular earthy grooves sprinkled along the hefty ride. Considering the fact SEPULTURA now has one of its founding fathers, Max Cavalera and SOULFLY as direct competitors at Nuclear Blast Records, theres no doubt going to be a de facto square-off in the eyes of the fans.
