I thought defending the faith in the 90s was Sepultura's job. :)

I could be biased because, again, they're from around here, seemed to 
opportunistically jump on a quasi-hardcore bandwagon after "punk broke" 
in 1991 (a east according to Geffen records), turning from hair metal to 
suddenly doing covers of Poison Idea -- and the members still own their 
strip club here in Dallas, which has a nasty reputation.

Ah, fuck it. Biased or not, I really just don't like their music. 
Whether it was when Dimebag Darrell called himself Diamond Darrell or 
when he turned his name into something more street tough and 'hard.'
