For all you Brazilian thrashers out there, here’s a bit of Sepultura doing “Dead Embryonic Cells.” The lyrics are kind of hilarious in a silly metal sort of way (see last week’s post on Metalocalypse). I was talking to a friend this weekend who saw a tour (somewhere in the 1992-1994 range) with Sepultura, Helmet, and Ministry. I guess Helmet was the light-rock portion of the evening.
Sepultura is still crankin’ in 2008 and just released an album called _A-Lex_ based on the main character from _A Clockwork Orange_. Sounds like they have stayed true to their brutal thrash roots!
Lyrics:
Land of anger
I didnt ask to be born
Sadness, sorrow
Everything so alone
Laboratory sickness
Infects humanity
No hope for cure
Die by technology
A world full of shit coming down
Tribal voilence everywhere
Life in the age of terrorism
We spit in your other face
War of races
World without intelligence
A place consumed by time
End of it all
Were born with pain
No more were dead
Embryonic cells
Corrision inside — we feel
Condemned future — we see
Emptiness calls — we hear
Final premonition — the truth
Land of anger
I didnt ask to be born
Sadness, sorrow
Everything so alone
Laboratory sickness
Infects humanity
No hope for cure
Die by technology
Were born with pain
Suffer remains
Were born with pain
Suffer remains
Were dead
