Brazilian metal legends Sepultura have released a second single from their final studio effort, “The Cloud Of Unknowing“. The track “Beyond The Dream” from that EP is now streaming ahead of the outing’s April 24th release date. It features a guest collaboration with members of Brazilian rockers Titãs, whose song “Polícia” Sepultura covered back in 1993 as a bonus track for “Chaos A.D.“. Sepultura collectively stated of this new pairing:
“‘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 project to life, Sepultura enlisted the essential 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.”
While the end of an era for Sepultura, this EP marks their first recordings with drummer Greyson Nekrutman. The band’s farewell touring is expected to conclude in their homeland later this year, dates for which remain pending. Ahead of that, you can catch them out as follows:
