Sepultura: Viva Brazil!
Christine Natanael, Creem Presents: Thrash Metal, May 1990
THE PHONE rings at the ungodly hour of...noon...and it's the friendly publicist from Roadracer asking me if I'm still asleep. Not only am I still asleep, but I'm practically comatose as I listen to him tell me that the death boys of the jungle have finally made it to New York and are available for interviews.
