Chaos A.D.
A man, who is wrapped head to toe in a heavy white shroud and further bound haphazardly by rope, is hanging upside-down from some sort of machine that has many cables and hoses. It has an upper structure with a chain motor mechanism and a lower structure to which the man is attached and which has tubes connecting to itself but other tubes connecting to the man. Below the man, there is a similar machine also with many cables and some hoses. Its most prominent feature is an eye-like component on top of what looks like an engine. The eye is staring directly upwards at the man's head as if examining him. Many forearms (14) are reaching up from the bottom machine towards the man. Easily missed are faces within the bottom machine. In the background behind the man, in a tinted blue color, is a brick wall with some sort of large organic orifice at the bottom. In the wall itself are several fossils (for example, there appears to be a of couple nautilus shells and perhaps a trilobite), many tortured faces, and also a stone henge. This nightmarish imagery is framed by what look like vertical steel girders on the left and right-hand sides. The band name "SEPULTURA" appears in uppercase in the upper-left corner in a light orange font. The album name "CHAOS A.D." appears in uppercase in the lower-right corner in a similar font.

Chaos A.D. is the fifth studio album by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released in 1993 by Roadrunner Records. After the success of Arise, the band decided to expand the experimentation of that album and depart further from their earlier thrash metal sound. The album incorporates multiple genres such as groove metal and hardcore punk,[2] and features the band's first fully acoustic song.

Chaos A.D. is also Sepultura's only album on Epic Records, which handled its release for North American distribution. It is also the first album to feature Paulo Jr. on bass after having played with the band in a live capacity since 1984.[a]

The album peaked at 32 on the Billboard 200, becoming Sepultura's highest charting record at the time and Roadrunner's first album in the top 40. The album received widespread acclaim upon release and has come to be regarded as one of Sepultura's best albums, and a landmark in heavy metal.
