"Unleash" is a Soulfly song, released from the 2008 album Conquer. This single, along with music video,[1] was released a month before the album's release and was the album's first of two singles. This song plays metal riff in the breakdown style, with world music section in the middle of the song.[2] Dave Peters from Throwdown is featured as vocal, and helped Max Cavalera write lyrics.[3][4]
The music video shows the members performing inside El Castillo, Chichen Itza, a Mayan pyramid. Later, tribes show up and chug to the song. In the end, a tribe picks up bloody tissue.[1]

The song is about unleashing war multiple times to make the war progressively more devastating. As a result, 'unleash' is said sixteen times in the lyrics, twelve are used in verb phrases per line three times each: 'unleash war', 'unleash my wrath', 'unleash revenge', and 'unleash my hell'; the remaining four is as the lone word per line, sung right before the song ends. The lyrics also features eight consecutive idioms in order: 'war after war', 'hell after hell', 'scum after scum', 'hill after hills', 'pig after pig', 'stone after stone', 'doom after doom' and 'hate after hate'.[5]
