Sepultura have released a stream of their new track Phantom Self.

It features on the band’s upcoming 14th album Machine Messiah, which will launch on January 13 via Nuclear Blast. Listen to it below.

Guitarist Andreas Kisser recently revealed Sepultura’s 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.”

Machine Messiah is available for pre-order direct from Nuclear Blast’s online store.

Sepultura will head out on the road in February across Europe in support of the new album.
