Sepultura played their new track I Am The Enemy at Salvador’s Rock Concha over the weekend.
Video footage of the set, including the song from upcoming 14th album Machine Messiah, can be seen below, with the new track coming in at the 28-minute mark.
Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser recently revealed the follow-up to 2013’s The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart was “inspired by the robotisation of our society.”
He added: “The concept of a ‘God Machine’ who created humanity and now it seems that this cycle is closing itself, returning to the starting point.
“We came from machines and we are going back to where we came from. The messiah, when he returns, will be a robot, or a humanoid, our bio-mechanical saviour.”
As for the album, which will be released on January 13 via Nuclear Blast, Kisser reported: “I’m very happy with everything about Machine Messiah. It is a Sepultura album but with a new direction and intensity, a new musical challenge, a step forward.
“I can’t wait to show the world our music for the new Messiah coming.”
The band recently revealed their documentary charting their 2015 UK winter tour. Sepultura are currently on the road, with dates scheduled throughout the rest of this year and into 2017.
