Sepultura Announce Farewell EP The Cloud of Unknowing as Final Chapter Nears

After more than four decades of redefining extreme metal, Sepultura prepare to close the book with one last powerful statement.

Brazilian metal titans Sepultura have officially announced their farewell release, The Cloud of Unknowing EP, marking the beginning of the end for one of the most influential heavy bands in modern music history. Set for release on April 24 via Nuclear Blast Records, the EP captures the band’s final creative chapter as they continue their global “Celebrating Life Through Death” farewell tour.

With more than 40 years behind them, 14 gold records, and performances across 80+ countries, Sepultura stand as Brazil’s uncompromising metal emissaries to the world. From thrash roots to groove-laden innovation, their sound has shaped generations. Now, rather than fade quietly, they’ve chosen to document one final artistic moment.

A Final Creative Statement

The Cloud of Unknowing is described as one of the band’s most diverse and emotionally resonant releases. Across four tracks, the EP reflects both the ferocity and introspection that have defined Sepultura’s legacy. It’s not simply a closing note — it’s a distilled expression of everything the band has become.

Tracklist:

  1. All Souls Rising
  2. Beyond the Dream
  3. Sacred Books
  4. The Place

All vinyl variants include a CD edition housed in a card wallet.

Available Formats:

  • Oxblood
  • Transparent Petrol (Nuclear Blast exclusive)
  • Crystal Clear (band exclusive)
  • Transparent Red (band exclusive)

“The Place” — A Reflection on Identity and Disillusionment

Sepultura have unveiled the EP track “The Place”, accompanied by a powerful new video. Vocalist Derrick Green explains that the song explores the psychological and emotional journey of immigrants seeking refuge, only to confront internalized self-hatred shaped by propaganda and false security.

According to Green, the song’s structure mirrors its lyrical arc — beginning in disappointment and evolving into anger — capturing the emotional transformation at the heart of the story.

In Memoriam: NOT MY GOD Bids Farewell with ‘The Farewell Tour’

It is with heavy hearts that we gather here today to announce the passing of NOT MY GOD, the iconic Industrial music duo featuring Tim Skold (known for his work with Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, Motionless In White, FLA, and Skold) and Nero Bellum (renowned as the mastermind behind Psyclon Nine).

After a short-lived but impactful existence, NOT MY GOD has decided to bid farewell to their devoted fans with ‘The Farewell Tour,’ marking their first and final tour ever, and the only opportunity for their admirers to witness their explosive performance live.

The ‘Farewell Tour’ is more than just a concert; it’s a tribute to the legacy of NOT MY GOD. During the show, fans will have a unique chance to be part of a mid-set “dying ceremony,” where they can pay their final respects and share the stage with the band one last time. This intimate moment is a testament to the profound connection between the artists and their supporters, a true reflection of the impact NOT MY GOD has had on the Industrial music community.

Additionally, after the emotionally charged performance, attendees will be treated to a post-show backstage photo opportunity with the band. And that’s not all – a special meet & greet session will allow fans to have one-on-one time with Tim Skold and Nero Bellum, creating memories to cherish forever. As part of the ‘RIP VIP’ experience, exclusive and extremely limited quantity merchandise will also be available, making this farewell tour a truly unforgettable event.

Joining NOT MY GOD on their final journey are special guests Snakes of Russia, Death Loves Veronica, and Clockwork Echo, promising an electrifying lineup and an unforgettable night for all attendees.
