Sepultura have announced one last EP, The Cloud Of Unknowing.
The departing groove metal titans will unleash four final tracks on April 24 via Nuclear Blast – the first of which, The Place, is available to stream now (and it is in fact the closing song on The Cloud Of Unknowing, following All Souls Rising, Beyond The Dream and Sacred Books).
The EP is described as one of the band’s most ‘diverse and emotionally resonant releases’, and showcases the ‘full spectrum’ of their creativity, according to a press release.
Speaking about The Place specifically, vocalist Derrick Green shares: “This song deals with immigrants who have come to a place seeking refuge and start a new life.
“Once assimilated into a false sense of security and relentless propaganda they began to act out against what they hate about themselves. The transition begins to escape from the self-hatred and the lashing out against people who believed in the same ideas. I feel the lyrics truly follow the transitions of the song. Starting with disappointment and arriving at anger.”
