It’s not goodbye for now – Sepultura will release new music in 2026

Brazilian metal veterans Sepultura intend to release a new four-song EP next year while their farewell tour continues, as reported from theprp. Their newest percussionist, Greyson Nekrutman, who joined the group in 2024 following Eloy Casagrande’s sudden resignation, will play drums on those tracks. The latter chose a place in Slipknot over a place in the departing group. Andreas Kisser, the guitarist for Sepultura, discussed the upcoming EP in the video interview below, which was recorded at this year’s “Mystic Festival.”

We recorded four new songs with Greyson on drums. I don’t think nobody knows that, but there we go. We have four new songs, and we have the intention, next year, to release an EP, just to celebrate this momentum. It’s original songs that we worked [out]. It’s already recorded and everything, and we’re taking our time, really, to see where it’s gonna be the good time to do it.

Kisser also spoke about the process.

We did it in our time with no rush. There’s no names [for the songs]. We can decide that later. We’re still mixing the material — no rush. And it’s great. Because of the farewell [tour] idea, we can do that as well, to plan something like that, or not plan something like that, plan as less that we can to really to challenge ourselves artistically to work something like that.
