Church of Metal

Double dose of death or is it thrash or groove this Friday! After this morning’s entry I got the urge to Sepultura – Chaos A.D.

In my youth I was one of the fans of Sepultura before they made the style change from traditional death to more grrove or nu-metal whatever as it seems the band would natural progress into. However, as I have listened to the album over the years it has grown on me, and Sepultura fans still bitter about the change in style should give some of these older albums a second listen!

Chaos A.D. (Chaos Anno Domini) is the fifth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released in late 1993 through Roadrunner Records. This was the record that helped the group transcend their previous death/thrash style, deepening their forays into hardcore punk, industrial music and Brazilian-styled percussion. It would become one of the founding pillars of the groove metal subgenre. It won silver and gold certifications throughout Europe and the USA. Quoted from wiki.

Out of the boredom of playing the Arise songs for two years straight and the threat of musically stagnating, Sepultura pushed the envelope on Chaos A.D.

Sepultura – Chaos A.D mp3s

Obviously this album is nothing like Beneath The Remains that I posted this morning, but if you listen to the entire album you cannot deny it is definitely “Sepultura” and the sound actually began to make them stand out of the already increasing number of “death metal” bands of the 1990′s.

There are some undeniably good songs and parts on this album that makes this album worthy of being in your metal collection, order it today.

Dug deep in the collection and dusted off my old copy of “Sepultura – Beneath The Remains.” Get ready for some classic death metal. Combining elements of thrash and death together gave Sepultura a great sound, check out this album.

Beneath the Remains is the third studio album by Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura, released in 1989. It was their first release through Roadrunner Records.

The album’s budget was a small amount by the label’s standards ($8,000), but in the end the cost was almost twice its original budget. Scott Burns, who had previously engineered records by Florida extreme metal acts Obituary, Death and Morbid Angel, was the chosen producer. Sepultura spent the last half of December 1988 recording the album at Nas Nuvens Studio in Rio de Janeiro, from 8 pm to 5 am.
