During the global pandemic, while the world of live music stood still, Brazilian metal legends refused to remain silent. What began as a weekly podcast and remote jam session evolved into "Sepulquarta," a 2021 release that stands as a powerful testament to the band’s resilience and their deep-rooted connections within the global heavy music community. The Origins: Music in Isolation
(feat. Angra members & Fernanda Lira) – A brutal, all-Brazilian collaboration.
(feat. David Ellefson) – A masterclass in groove. Cut-Throat (feat. Scott Ian) – Pure thrash energy.
The album features a staggering lineup of guest appearances, turning the record into a celebration of metal history: featuring Joao Barone and Charles Gavin. "Inner Self" featuring Phil Rind (Sacred Reich). "Mask" featuring Devin Townsend. "Slave New World" featuring Matt Heafy (Trivium). "Orgasmatron" featuring Phil Campbell (Motörhead). Technical Brilliance: The Casagrande Factor
Sepulquarta isn't just a "stop-gap" album; it is a historical document. It captured a moment when one of the world's most influential metal bands bridged the gap between isolation and community, proving that even when separated by oceans, the spirit of Sepultura remains "Beneath the Remains" and beyond.
The FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) version of Sepulquarta is the definitive way to experience these recordings. Because the tracks were recorded remotely across different continents, the high-fidelity format preserves the intricate layering required to make these "quarantine sessions" sound like a cohesive, thunderous studio album.
The project started in early 2020. With their Quadra world tour postponed, the band members—Andreas Kisser, Paulo Jr., Derrick Green, and Eloy Casagrande—began hosting weekly "Sepulquarta" livestreams. They used this digital space to discuss their history, answer fan questions, and, most importantly, perform re-imagined versions of their classic tracks from their respective home studios.
