Brazilian/American metallers SEPULTURA will release their new studio album, “Machine Messiah“, on January 13 through Nuclear Blast.
The band has just made available the official lyric video for the CD’s first digital single, “I Am The Enemy“.
SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser states:
“The song ‘I Am The Enemy‘ was one of the last songs we worked on before going to Sweden to record the album. It’s really simple and straightforward, with a strong influence of the hardcore scene of the ’90s. The lyrics talk about ourselves as human beings, with concepts and pre-concepts implanted in our heads through education, religion, the environment and all of our own experiences. We are the problem and the solution. Do not blame anything or anyone else but yourself; you are your own enemy. Face yourself, rethink your life and then you’ll have a chance to make a better world for yourself.”
He adds:
“We are playing the song live already and the reaction is being amazing. Now you all have the chance to listen to the album version. Play it loud!”
Inspired by the robotization of our society, “Machine Messiah” was produced by the band and Jens Bogren (SOILWORK, OPETH, KATATONIA, AMON AMARTH) of Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden.
The CD’s stunning cover artwork was created by Filipino artist Camille Della Rosa.
