Listen To New SEPULTURA Song 'Last Time'

 
"Last Time", a brand new song from Brazilian/American metallers SEPULTURA, can be streamed below. The track is taken from the band's upcoming album, "Quadra", which will be released on February 7, 2020 via Nuclear Blast Records.

After relentless touring for its previous opus, 2017's "Machine Messiah", SEPULTURA returned to Sweden's Fascination Street Studios to once again work with producer Jens Bogren. "Quadra" saw the bandmembers pushing their own mental and physical boundaries and has been one of the group's hardest albums to complete.

"On 'Quadra', we felt the urge to revisit that old thrash feeling of 'Beneath The Remains' or 'Arise', only seen through the eyes of today," guitarist Andreas Kisser explains. "Add to that the tribal percussion, the orchestral elements, the choirs, the melodies and the clean vocals and you get a thorough run-through of our entire career, backed by a very contemporary approach." Fueled by an energy almost uncanny for a band that has been active for so long, SEPULTURA storms through a contemporary thrash monument, backed by sublime melodies, a very eerie atmosphere and a fiendishly high level of technicality. Kisser is appreciating these compliments, still maintaining his very down-to-earth approach. "We don't heed the past and we don't try to be preoccupied by the future too much," he says. "We're in the now, trying every day to make SEPULTURA a little bit better. That's what keeping us strong."

And that's what they have been doing for the last 30+ years. Album after album, tour after tour, no gap in between records longer than three years. "Music is all we do," Kisser states matter-of-factly. "If it wouldn't be for SEPULTURA," he laughs, "I would be a sad and lonely guy. SEPULTURA is what we are." And "Quadra" is living testimony to that. The old SEPULTURA echo through the very fibre of the songs in all its raw and morbid splendour, but yet it's the present, the experienced and refined beast that is SEPULTURA in 2020 that's blasting out thrash metal anthems for a fucked-up age.

"There is no reason to put out an album unless you've got something new to tell," Kisser says. "A lot of bands out there are slaves of themselves, trying to repeat their formula. That's stupid! You have to respect the past but you are here now. So. do something different! I mean, we have an amazing history, we did so many different albums with different elements that all added up to the experience we gained over the years. And in the studio, we respect what we did but we are never afraid of trying out new things."

With now 15 albums under their belts, SEPULTURA are the work horses of the metal world, always ready to attack. In many ways, "Quadra" broadens the vision the Brazilian thrash troopers had on "Machine Messiah" (2017), again relying on the impeccable talent of Swedish producing giant Jens Bogren and his Fascination Street Studios. "He is so full of passion, it's unbelievable, man," Kisser raves. "He's really there, he really cares about the projects he's doing. For SEPULTURA, he's like the fifth member of the band. The chemistry was so amazing, 99 percent of what we were trying do to actually worked. That was insane!" Even after more than 30 years at the forefront of international thrash, guitarist Kisser sounds positively baffled by working with Bogren. "We felt like we were in our rehearsal room."

Singer Derrick Green adds: "The experience was like no other time in the studio. I felt the preparation was key in making the recording process go as smooth as possible. We were relentless each day giving everything that we had until complete exhaustion of the mind, body, and soul. This album is a direct result of the sign of times. The music is an evolution needed to push ourselves to go further than we ever have."

Bringing together a monumental grandeur and a wild, untamed ferocity, SEPULTURA stepped up their game musically — and conceptually as well. "We were possessed by the number four, by the numerology of it", Kisser starts to explain. "I divided the album into four parts as if we were doing a double vinyl. Side one is the pure and raw thrash side. Side two brings in the rhythms and percussion from our 'Roots' era. Three is getting a bit experimental and four brings forth the melodies and the acoustic guitars." With John North's book "Quadrivium" as a further source of inspiration, SEPULTURA dive deep into a mystical world full of hidden meanings. "You have four seasons and twelve month in a year just to pick one example. A lot of stuff in our culture is divided like that.

"Plus, Quadra also is the Portuguese word for 'sport court' that by definition is a limited area of land, with regulatory demarcations, where according to a set of rules the game takes place," he adds. "We all come from different Quadras. The countries, all nations with their borders and traditions; culture, religions, laws, education and a set of rules where life takes place." In the Quadra of thrash, however, we all are the same. And we bow our heads in unison to the mighty leader that is SEPULTURA.

"Machine Messiah" was SEPULTURA's fourteenth studio album and the eighth since Green joined the ranks. Lyrically, the disc tackled the metaphorical robotization of society and the need to follow and worship someone.

SEPULTURA was formed in 1984 in Belo Horizonte by brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, who are no longer with the band.
