On February 26, Brazilian thrash metal quartet Sepultura has launched their new single 'The place', which serves as a preview of their EP 'The cloud of unknowing', scheduled for release on April 24. This EP is particularly significant as it represents both the concluding chapter of their studio discography and an opportunity to showcase their evolving sound with cleaner production. Sepultura has made its mark since 1984, originally emerging from Belo Horizonte as the brainchild of brothers Iggor and Max Cavalera, who departed from the band years ago.

The EP will notably introduce their new drummer, Greyson Nekrutman, who has joined the group following a sudden departure of Eloy Casagrande, who left to pursue an opportunity with American metal band Slipknot just a month before their scheduled farewell tour. This abrupt change has stirred emotions within the band, adding a layer of significance to this release as it captures a moment of transition for Sepultura. Known for their heavy and complex sound, this single aims to showcase their unexplored sonic potential while still honoring their roots.

As the band prepares for their concluding tour, this release not only highlights their musical journey but also their connection to fans who have followed them over the years. 'The place' signifies a new era for Sepultura while also serving as a retrospective celebration of their long-standing influence in the metal genre. The forthcoming EP will undoubtedly carry the legacy of the band, emphasizing the evolution they have undergone as both musicians and as a band navigating changes and challenges in their lineup.
