IR8 / Sexoturica

IR8 / Sexoturica is the compilation album by IR8 and Sexoturica. This album, released in 2002, includes two demos which were recorded in 1994 and 1995. Sexoturica stands for Sepultura Exodus Metallica.

IR8 - In October 1994, Metallica bassist Jason Newsted joined forces with 22 year-old guitarist Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad, and legendary Bay Area metal drummer Tom Hunting of Exodus to form the infamous IR8 project.The uber metal trio set the precedent for the work ethic of the Chophouse with 100 hours of labor over six days to give birth to the mighty "Colossus" (the Chophouse anthem), along with the thrash metal tracks "Black on Black" and "Nothing."

SEXOTURICA - In March 1995...following closely in the steps of "Colossus" and intent on keeping the Chophouse iron hot in between busy touring schedules, Newsted and Hunting invited incredibly talented metal guitarist Andreas Kisser of Sepultura into the Chophouse fold, for one solid day of pure raw music. The result is three full bore classics; "Zone of Death," "Alone," and "Dead Soul at Sleep." Three metalheads staying true to their roots.
