Third World Posse is a limited edition EP by Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, released exclusively in Australia in 1992. It contains the studio version of "Dead Embryonic Cells", a cover of the Dead Kennedys song "Drug Me", and three live tracks taken from the Under Siege (Live in Barcelona) video in Spain on May 31, 1991.

By the end of the year Sepultura returned to Brazil, so they could take a few weeks off before doing a short German tour with the NWOBHM legends Mötorhead and Florida death metal group Morbid Angel in December. During their break they went to record a cover version of the Dead Kennedys song "Drug Me" for the Virus 100 compilation. Virus 100 was designed to celebrate the 100th album by indie record label Alternative Tentacles, run by ex-Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra.[1] Napalm Death, Faith No More, Neurosis and L7 also did tracks for the said tribute album.[2]

"Drug Me" and live tracks culled from the Under Siege video were later collected on the australian-only EP Third World Posse (1992).
