Brazilian heavyweight SEPULTURA launch the SepulQuarta sessions, a weekly event where the band will give insight into the band’s colorful history, do a Q&A session and perform a new track live.
“SepulQuarta was born out of the necessity to express ourselves in a different way since we’re all facing a new situation. We came with this idea still influenced by the concept of our last album ‘Quadra’, using geometry, numerology and numbers. Wednesday, which is the fourth day of the week, was chosen for an event”, explains Andreas Kisser.
The age of “Quadra” has begun: The Brazilian thrash metal masters SEPULTURA release their new gem today and mark the occasion with a stunning music video for their new single “Means To An End”. Check the video here:
Guitarist Andreas Kisser comments: “Sepulnation around the world the wait is over! ‘Quadra’ is out now!! It feels great to be here today with such a strong album in our hands, I cannot wait to see you all on the ‘Quadra’ World Tour. Thank you all the fans around the world that keeps this band alive and motivated. Let’s celebrate ‘Quadra’ together, play it loud! I know I will!”
He adds on the new song/video: “’Means To An End’ is our third video/single taken form our new album ‘Quadra’. Is the second song on the album, it is a very powerful and complex theme that inspired director Otavio Juliano and Luciana Ferraz to make an amazing visual interpretation of the song. It shows the human greed with no limits, the arrogance and the ignorance of ourselves, we think we can do it all without knowledge, without respect. Judas and his treason, defying death in a chess game, saving money for who’s knows what and how much is enough? It was shot in the city of Jundiaí, in an old train station museum and in Sao Paulo as well, at an old bank safe, it was the biggest in Latin America from the 50’s till it got shut down in the late 80’s. We had a lot of fun working on it and I’m very happy with the final result, hope you like it! See you on the ‘Quadra’ World Tour.”
A pure and raw thrash piece on one side and a melodic yet experimental one on the other – with their catching and fascinating concept album around the number of manifestation, SEPULTURA define their own universe where they alone are the masters, their “Quadra” (portuguese for “playground”).
The tracklist reads as follows:
1. Isolation 2. Means To An End 3. Last Time 4. Capital Enslavement 5. Ali 6. Raging Void 7. Guardians Of Earth 8. The Pentagram 9. Autem 10. Quadra 11. Agony Of Defeat 12. Fear; Pain; Suffering
In support of the album, the band will kick off their North American ‘Quadra’ tour with SACRED REICH, CROWBAR, ART OF SHOCK in March/ April starting in San Diego on March 18th. The tickets and VIP are on sale from www.sepultura.com.br

We all are shaped by the rules we follow, the laws we obey, the “Quadra” that we live in: SEPULTURA are set to release a unique vault full of hidden messages and thrashing songs: “Quadra” will be released on February, 7th.
Today, the band has released an album trailer explaining the division of the album and what it was like working with producer Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios).
Andreas Kisser about his idea behind “Quadra”: “We wanted to put twelve songs divided into four parts like a vinyl double album – side A, B, C and D. […] It really helped us to build the song order.”
Check out the album trailer on Youtube:

SACRED REICH will be touring in support of their critically lauded Awakening full-length released in August via Metal Blade Records. Their first record in twenty-three years, the towering Awakening showcases everything a fan would expect and hope for from the Phoenix, Arizona unit: a timeless collection comprised of blistering thrash, crushing grooves, meticulous solos, and socially conscious lyrics. The return of Dave McClain, who manned the drum throne from 1991 to 1997, and the addition of twenty-two-year old guitarist Joey Radziwill, alongside original members guitarist Wiley Arnett and vocalist/bassist Phil Rind are integral facets of the record. Awakening was produced by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy), engineered John Aquilino and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Halford, Armored Saint). To preview and purchase Awakening, visit: metalblade.com/sacredreich.
