Nation
Nation is the eighth studio album by Brazilian metal band Sepultura, released on 20 March 2001. It follows Against from 1998 and comes before Roorback in 2003. The record draws on a broad mix of metal styles, from thrash and groove to alternative, and it is crowded with guests: Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed, Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, Cristian Machado of Ill Niño, João Gordo of Ratos de Porão, and the cellists of Apocalyptica.
It also marks the end of a chapter. A video for "One Man Army" was planned for late August 2001, but it was never made, as the band felt Roadrunner Records gave the album too little support. Sepultura blamed the label for the lack of promotion and moved to SPV in 2002, so Nation stands as their last album of that period. It is worth hearing for the guest list alone.
