Sepultura Announce Farewell Release ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’ EP

As the curtain falls on an extraordinary career spanning more than four decades, Sepultura are preparing to close their final chapter at the end of this year. With over 40 years of band history, 14 gold records, and performances across more than 80 countries, Sepultura stand as Brazil’s uncompromising emissary to the global stage and one of today’s most influential metal bands.

Currently bringing their pioneering sound to audiences worldwide on the “Celebrating Life Through Death” farewell tour, the question has arisen: how should Sepultura mark the end of such a monumental journey? The answer came naturally: By capturing a final creative moment and preserving it for posterity.

The result is The Cloud of Unknowing EP, set to be released on April 24th via Nuclear Blast Records.

The Cloud of Unknowing EP is one of Sepultura’s most diverse and emotionally resonant releases. Across four tracks, the EP serves as a bittersweet farewell, showcasing the full spectrum of the band’s creativity, reflecting both the ferocity and depth that have defined Sepultura’s legacy.

Sepultura have today released EP track “The Place,” on which vocalist Derrick Green sheds some light:

“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.”

The Cloud of Unknowing EP will be available in the following formats:

Oxblood
Transparent Petrol (NB exclusive)
Crystal clear (band exclusive)
Transparent red (band exclusive)
All LP variants come with a CD of the EP in a card wallet.
