"This song deals with immigrants who have come to a place seeking refuge and start a new life. Once assimilated into a false sense of security and relentless propaganda they began to act out against what they hate about themselves."
"The transition begins to escape from the self hatred and the lashing out against people who believed in the same ideas. I feel the lyrics truly follow the transitions of the song. Starting with disappointment and arriving at anger."
Sepultura, the Brazilian thrash metal legends, are releasing their final collection of new music as a four-song EP called The Cloud of Unknowing, arriving April 24th via Nuclear Blast Records. The single 'The Place' addresses immigrants seeking refuge who become assimilated into false security and propaganda, eventually acting against aspects of themselves they despise. Singer Derrick Green explains the song follows a transition from self-hatred and lashing out at those with similar beliefs toward escape and self-awareness. The lyrics mirror the musical progression, beginning with disappointment and building toward anger. Sepultura's farewell tour continues with a final North American leg starting April 29th in Montclair, New Jersey, concluding May 29th in Los Angeles.
