The song is one of Sepultura's best known songs and is sometimes called a thrash metal masterpiece. Max Cavalera states that it's his favorite Sepultura song and he's especially proud of it.[1]
History
editAt this stage in their career the band had recorded little material to be used as B-sides, which is why the Arise singles are so similar. B-sides on this single were taken from the Under Siege (Live in Barcelona) VHS.
Music video
editA controversial music video for the song was produced and can be found on the VHS release Third World Chaos,[2] which was later released on DVD as part of Chaos DVD.[3] The video was filmed in Death Valley and features footage of the band playing during daylight, mixed with images of a Christ-like figure in a gas mask, hung on a cross.[4] The video was banned by MTV America due to its apocalyptic religious imagery.[5]
