Kairos (CD/DVD) [Limited Edition]

This Limited edition includes the DVD Making of Kairos.

One thing is certain: SEPULTURA is one of the major names in metal history. Being in the business for about 27 years, founding a genre of its own and influencing a whole generation of younger bands, these Brazilians have proved to be a true institution. Even though the band had to go through rough times due to several significant line-up changes, different record labels, various changes in the overall musical environment, they never backed down, continuously following their path - always re-emerging stronger than ever before.  

Enter 2011 SEPULTURA have not only signed a brand new record deal with Nuclear Blast, made a statement by playing an amazing charity concert with the Brazilian Orquestra Experimental de Repertório they also have traced back their roots, composing a brand new album that will mark another new chapter in the band's history. With “Kairos” Andreas Kisser & co. show how easily they can combine the sheer brutality of “Beneath The Remains” and “Arise” with the modern, yet thrashy and ultra groovy approach of classic albums like “Chaos A.D.” and “Roots” (including some really exciting tribal drumming again!) without sounding calculated rather than extremely fresh, hungry and simply back on track! 

(From wiki) Kairos is the twelfth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura. It was released on July 12, 2011 by independent German record label Nuclear Blast Records. This is the band's first release on the label, marking their first album not released on SPV/Steamhammer since 2001's Nation.

On July 6, 2010, it was announced that Sepultura were signed with Nuclear Blast Records, and would release their first album for the label in 2011.  By the end of 2010, the band had begun writing new material and entered the studio to begin recording their twelfth album with producer Roy Z (Judas Priest, Halford, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, Helloween). Recording sessions for Kairos took place from December 2010 to March 2011 at Trama Studios in São Paulo, Brazil, the same studio where its 2009 predecessor A-Lex was recorded.   On March 1, 2011, it was announced that Sepultura had completed recording their album, which was tentatively due in May 2011. Days after the album was finished, Sepultura announced on March 4, 2011 that the album would be called Kairos and would be released around that late spring or early summer.  

Concept Speaking of how the band came up with the Kairos title, Andreas Kisser said:  

The whole theme of the album is the concept of the time, and the title reflects that - it's like one concept of time which is not chronological, from one to two; it's like a an instant in time, it's a special time of change... Everyone's life is written by their choices - you have many 'kairos' moments, like if you go [from] point A B C, you are driven by your choices or your guidance; you have to go either one way or the other. And that's the kind of time we talked about - not about aging or getting old or going back in time; it's just about those important moments that can change everything.  

According to the guitarist, the concept had to do with Sepultura's 26-year-old history and the changes inside and outside the band. "It's a collection of 'kairos' that [got us here. It's being inspired by our own biography, but mostly focusing on what Sepultura is today," he added.
