Sepultura 's third EP, released in 1994. The song is one of the band's best-known songs and remains a concert staple to this day. A music video was filmed for the single which features the band playing live at a festival intercut with footage of rioting and general unrest. This video can be found on theVHS Third World Chaos, which was later released on DVD as part ofChaos DVD . The intro to the song is the heartbeat of Max's then-unborn first son Zyon. This song is also notable for having a 20 second growl at the end.The song also appears in live form on the band's live releases
Under A Pale Grey Sky andLive In Sao Paulo .Artwork
The cover of the single depicts a Korean man jumping at a police barricade holding a petrol bomb, while the interior features the famous image of the anonymous Chinese man who stood in front of several tanks, blocking their path. The reverse of the sleeve shows the band playing live. It is interesting to note that the spine of the
CD release does not feature the band name or the name of the single, but rather is blank purple.Releases
The single was released in several forms. There exist 2 CD versions: one 3-track maxi-single and a seven-track E.P., details of which are listed below. Both come in foldout card
digipak cases. Early limited pressings were embossed with the Sepultura thorned 'S' logo. In addition, the single was also released on cassette tape with the same B-Sides as the maxi single. The single also saw two vinyl releases, both Limited editions. The 7" version was pressed on 7" vinyl with "Inhuman Nature" as the B-side, while the 12" version was pressed on black vinyl but had a die-cut sleeve which was made to look like in had been riddled with bullet holes.Track listing
