First released in 1993
About the song
“Refuse/Resist” opened Sepultura’s 1993 album Chaos A.D. It presents the band’s heavy sound through sharply organized rhythmic figures and a vocal whose clipped phrases fit closely with the instrumental accents.
Sound and arrangement
The drums are central to the recording’s momentum, working with the guitar riffs to produce a forceful groove. Brief changes and breaks create tension without removing the song’s strongly repeated rhythmic foundation.
Listening closely
Listen to how the vocal attacks line up with the guitars and drums. The arrangement makes collective precision feel aggressive, giving each return of the central figure a clear physical impact.
