“The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny”
―Heraclitus
"Any life, however long and complicated it may be, actually consists of a single moment—the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is."
—Jorge Luis Borges, 1949

💎 Sepultura - Sarcastic existence
📀 Beneath The Remains
🌎 Brazil 🇧🇷 - 1991
“Sarcastic Existence,” from the 1991 album Arise, captures Sepultura at their most aggressive and politically charged.
Driven by Igor Cavalera’s relentless drumming and the razor-sharp riffing of Andreas Kisser, the track blends thrash precision with the early hints of the groove and tribal textures that would later define the band’s evolution.
Max Cavalera’s vocals spit out the lyrics with raw urgency, channeling frustration and defiance against social decay and manipulation.
The song’s tight structure and explosive energy make it one of the album’s underrated standouts—ferocious, focused, and uncompromising.
