Biotech Is Godzilla

Sepultura · Chaos A.D.

Rio summit, '92
Street people kidnapped
Hid from view
"To save the earth"
Our rules met
Some had other
Secret Plans

No... No... No... No...

Say what?

Strip-mine the Amazon
Of cells of life itself
Gold rush for genes is on
Natives get nothing

Biotech
Is Godzilla

Mutations cooked in labs
Money mad experiments
New food + medicine?
New germs + accidents!
Like Cubatao
"World's most polluted town"
Air melts your face
Deformed children all around

Bio-technology
Ain't whats so bad
Like all technology
It's in the wrong hands

Cut-throat corporations
Don't give a damn
When lots of people die
From what they've made

Is A.I.D.S?

Stop!!!

Biotech Is Godzilla

Sepultura's "Biotech Is Godzilla" stands as a defining track from the band's 1993 album *Chaos A.D.*, marking a pivotal shift toward technical thrash and progressive metal. Released during a period of intense experimentation, the song features complex, interlocking guitar riffs and a driving, industrial rhythm that pushed the boundaries of the band's established groove metal sound. The title references the 1998 film *Godzilla*, a connection that resonated deeply with the band's fans and critics alike, symbolizing a monstrous, technological threat. This recording showcases the band's commitment to musical innovation, blending heavy distortion with intricate arrangements that would influence countless subsequent acts in the technical death and progressive metal genres. It remains a cornerstone of their discography, celebrated for its energy and structural ambition.
