Apparently, Sepultura have a thing for alliteration, because they hit us with a lil bit of it this past Friday (March 20), during the kick-off show for their Australian tour. The decided Perth was the perfect place for, well, “The Place” (there’s that alliteration!) since the debuted the track live on stage that night at the Metro city venue. Seemed like fans loved it, as you can see from fan-filmed footage (alliteration, again) like the clip below.
“The Place” is taken off the band’s upcoming new release The Cloud Of Unknowing EP, which comes out April 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Sepultura’s Perth setlist was as follows, according to good ol’ Setlist.fm:

- Inner Self
- Desperate Cry
- The Place (live debut)
- Kairos
- Propaganda
- Attitude
- Means To An End
- Choke
- Phantom Self
- Kaiowas

Sepultura’s vocalist Derrick Green previously said this about “The Place”:
“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.”
As someone who often starts with disappointment and later arrives at anger, this definitely resonated.
