Sepultura "The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart" (40th Anniversary)

Celebrating the band's 40th anniversary Nuclear Blast is excited to reissue The Mediator Between The Head And Hands Must Be The Heart, the 13th studio album from Sepultura. Produced by Ross Robinson, Sepultura leaned heavily on the strength of their thrash metal influences to make a statement against the dehumanizing effects of technology. Exploring the miseries and privileges associated with technological power, The Mediator Between The Head And Hands Must Be The Heart - Sepultura's angry dystopian documentary in sonic form - also addresses the chaotic aftermath of natural disasters, the unfulfilled promises of religion, and the still-widening divide & unbridgeable gap between pampered citizens who live in decadent luxury and the working poor who withstand unbearable living & working conditions to simply survive. Featuring a guest appearance by former SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo, The Mediator Between The Head And Hands Must Be The Heart does what many great albums do: it captures a moment in time and carves out a place to have a dialogue with listeners with an honesty that rings so true, it becomes a part of our arsenal with which to defend ourselves against the wrongdoings of the world.
