Quadra (album)

Quadra
The obverse side of an ancient-looking tarnished silverish coin featuring a side-view portrait of the head and neck a skeleton looking to the right and wearing a laurel wreath. The visual portion of the skull's neurocranium features a simple map of the Western hemisphere. The emblem of the coin, which wraps most of the way around the coin, has, in order, four stars, SEPULTURA, QUADRA, and then four more stars. A hole appears between SEPULTURA and QUADRA. Below the portrait is the year 2020. The coin appears against a rough dark gray sooty-looking background.

Quadra is the fifteenth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released on February 7, 2020.[1][2] It is a concept album based on numerology, the number four and its significance as depicted on Quadrivium. The band went to Sweden to work with producer Jens Bogren for the recording of Quadra.

The album is the band's most successful record since 1998's Against, charting in 17 countries and entering the top 20 in seven countries (eight, considering the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart). It is also their most successful album in Germany and Switzerland to date, exceeding the chart positions of Roots (1996), with positions number five and number 13, respectively.

With Sepultura set to embark on a farewell tour in 2024–2025, and deciding against recording another album, Quadra will likely be the band's final studio album.[3] This is also the band's final studio album with drummer Eloy Casagrande before his departure from the band in 2024.
