Sepultura have released a new digital single entitled “I Am The Enemy.” The song is off of the band’s upcoming full length Machine Messiah, out January 13th through Nuclear Blast. The song is only available to fans who have pre-order the record now, right here. Machine Messiah was produced by the band and Jens Borgen (Opeth, Amon Amarth) of Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden. The stunning cover artwork for Machine Messiah was created by Filipino artist Camille Della Rosa.
Andreas Kisser had this to say about the song, “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 straight forward with a strong influence of the hardcore scene of the 90’s.
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.
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!”
