The definitive Political Metal album
D. Following up the superb, "Arise" from 1991, Sepultura further progress there sound with this album, "Chaos A. " which may be the best political recording in Metal history.
Furthering the band's focus on the harsh treatment that the band's country Brazil had faced in that time and extending it towards the problems and grievences of ALL who live under tyranny and opression, this album reigns as a powerful classic.

The sound is the perfect fusion of Traditional/Mainstream Thrash with the sounds of the Underground with an emphasis on groove and drum sounds that create a sort-of tribal quality. Compared with the con-current sound of Pantera, this band had created a much more refined and intelligent form than many other pretenders of the time. (Not to knock Pantera but this was a far more intellectual release than "Vulgar Display of Power" could have ever been).

Each song is a classic for the band led by opening track, "Refuse-Resist" which next to "Dead Embryonic Cells" from the previous album is the band's most beloved song. "Territory" follows suit in a similiar brutal fashion and likewise tracks like "Amen" and "Slave New World". "The Hunt" has a level of accessibility about it that reminds me of more anthemic Thrash, though the subject matter is something else. "Manifest" is one disturbing track detailing in a semi-news tone the atroctites commited at a Prison riot in Brazil in 1989.

It's unfortunate that the band following this release will all but abandon this sound and much of there Thrash roots for good. This CD is a unique one. At once both brutal and yet meaningful and even, inspiring. It could very well be the best of the band's career and certainly one of the top Metal releases of the 1990s.
