Brazilian metal legends collaborate with Titãs members on ballad as ‘Celebrating Life Through Death’ farewell tour continues
‘Sepultura‘ have released “Beyond the Dream,” the second single from their final EP “The Cloud of Unknowing,” due for release on April 24. The deeply resonant track marks a significant departure for the Brazilian metal pioneers as they explore the ballad format for the first time in their storied career.
The band commented on the new single: “‘Beyond the Dream’ emerges as one of the most emblematic moments of Sepultura’s final chapter, serving as a poetic reflection of a journey shaped by decades of albums, tours, and life on the road. This previously unreleased composition fulfills a long-standing desire of the band to explore the ballad format, blending Sepultura’s identity with the melodic sensitivity of renowned collaborators.”
To bring this vision to life, ‘Sepultura’ enlisted the collaboration of Sérgio Britto and Tony Bellotto of ‘Titãs’, musicians who share a long history with the band and are widely recognized as specialists in the genre, as well as composers of classics such as “Polícia.”
“The result of a direct partnership between members of Sepultura and Titãs, the song celebrates the connection between artists who share the stage and a deep passion for creation. The outcome is a piece that brings great satisfaction to everyone involved, establishing itself as both an emotional and historical milestone featured on the band’s final EP, released in this very year that marks Sepultura’s official farewell,” the band stated.
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.
“The Cloud of Unknowing” EP is described as 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.
The EP will be available in multiple vinyl formats including oxblood, transparent petrol (Nuclear Blast exclusive), crystal clear (band exclusive), and transparent red (band exclusive). All LP variants come with a CD of the EP in a card wallet.
