Stalwart.  That is the best word to describe Sepultura.  For years now, they have been championing their own mix of death, thrash, and groove metal.  Many fans cast them by the wayside after the departure of Max Cavalera (and later his brother Igor).  But now, with 5 albums with Derrick Green (just one shy of what Max contributed to), they continue to marshall onward. 

In fact, their last two releases have entered some really interesting territory, with the previous album Dante XXI being based on The Divine Comedy, and their latest A-Lex based on the novel A Clockwork Orange.  But with such heady (for such heavy metal) lyrical inspiration, how is the music?  In one word: amazing.
