After several years establishing themselves as one of the greatest thrash metal bands in the world, Brazil’s Sepultura put out their death metal opus, ‘Chaos A.D.’ in 1993 which brought them mainstream success. This was back in the early 90s when death metal was a little slower and more interesting, inspired by bands like Sweden’s Entombed.
Chaos A.D. stood out not only because of the large hardcore punk influence, but also because of the unique rhythms present in the songs. Max Cavalera had been known for his interest in the music of the native Brazilian tribes and he brought some of those beats into play on Chaos A.D. This sound is a bit dated now as a lot of mediocre metal bands added tribal beats to their music in the late 90s, but in 1993 tribal beats in heavy music was unheard of.
This video was shot on the Israel-Palistine border; I’m not sure if Sepultura were pro-Israel, anti-Israel, or just anti-war. From the looks of the video, maybe they just wanted some shots of metal looking dudes looking hard in the Middle-Eastern desert.
