Sepultura have revealed that their final EP will be titled The Cloud Of Unknowing. An exclusive vinyl pressing of the EP is included as part of the VIP package for the last North American leg of the band’s “Celebrating Life Through Death” farewell tour, alongside other bonus items.
Last year, Andreas Kisser spoke about plans to release new music with Sepultura. He said at the time: ”We recorded four new songs with Greyson on drums. I don’t think nobody knows that, but there we go. We have four new songs, and we have the intention, next year, to release an EP, just to celebrate this momentum. It’s original songs that we worked [out]. It’s already recorded and everything, and we’re taking our time, really, to see where it’s gonna be the good time to do it.”
Andreas continued: “It was very spontaneous. We had a situation that we played the 70000 Tons Of Metal [cruise in January 2025] and we stayed in Miami. ‘We have this studio. We have a few ideas. Okay, let’s do it.’ And it was great. No pressure from labels, no due date… But it’s great… We did it in our time with no rush… And it’s great. Because of the farewell [tour] idea, we can do that as well, to plan something like that, or not plan something like that, plan as less that we can to really to challenge ourselves artistically to work something like that.”
Formed in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Sepultura’s farewell tour underscores their status as one of metal’s most globally influential acts, carrying Brazilian rhythms and aggression to audiences worldwide. For this concluding journey, the band will be joined by an equally formidable lineup of special guests, including Exodus, Biohazard and rising extreme metal outfit Tribal Gaze.
The North American leg launches on April 29 in Montclair, New Jersey, and runs through May 29, wrapping up with a final Los Angeles performance at The Wiltern. Along the way, Sepultura will also appear at major U.S. festivals including Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple.
The farewell tour arrives as Sepultura continue to celebrate the legacy of their extensive catalog, which includes fifteen studio albums and landmark releases such as Quadra, the band’s most recent full-length. Since announcing plans for a final global farewell in late 2023, Sepultura have spent the past two years delivering career-spanning sets across multiple continents, now joined by drummer Greyson Nekrutman.
