[edit] why the move?
I don't understand the need for a move of this page. Is the artist really so famous that they're likely to be confused with a well-publicized, well sold album? Usually disambiguation pages are reserved for really complex subjects with 3-5 or more possible targets, and simpler cases can be handled with two "For the artist/album, see..." links on the album/artist pages.
I just don't see the need, and I don't see any discussion to speak of. Maybe I missed something, though... -- nae'blis (talk) 09:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sepultura - Chaos A.D..jpg
Image:Sepultura - Chaos A.D..jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death Metal
Shouldn't death metal be added as a genre? The album to me sounds like a mixture of death metal and groove metal. Also Ian Christe's book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, lists Chaos A.D. on the death metal page. 68.103.160.33 (talk) 17:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not really. I had already talked this over with another Wikipedian, RandySavageFTW.
- The Don Kaye liner notes of Arise stated that Sepultura's fourth LP is the pinnacle of their death/thrash phase. Now, if Chaos A.D. sold way more than Arise, why is it not considered the pinnacle of their death/thrash instead? Maybe because they changed their style... And, by the way, the music press at the time certainly held that as true. According to the official Sepultura biography [1], they stated that Chaos A.D. helped Sepultura transcend the death/thrash style (Barcinski & Gomes, page 131).
- Furthermore, if we compare Chaos A.D. with some landmark Death Metal releases that were roughly contemporary it, it surely sounds way different from them. I mean, would you honestly say that Chaos A.D. neatly fits alongside Morbid Angel's Covenant? Deicide's Legion? Obituary's The End Complete? Cannibal Corpse's The Bleeding? Or is really closer to Pantera's Far Beyond Driven, Biohazard's State of the World Address or Machine Head's Burn My Eyes?
- There's way too much industrial and hardcore punk influences for Chaos A.D. to be truly considered death metal. "True" death metal is too orthodox for such experiments. Musicaindustrial (talk) 00:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
