Third World Posse is a limited edition EP by the 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 band Mötorhead and the Florida death metal group Morbid Angel in December. During their break they went to record a cover version of "Drug Me" for the Virus 100 compilation. Virus 100 was designed to celebrate the 100th album by the independent record label, Alternative Tentacles, run by the ex-Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra. Napalm Death, Faith No More, Neurosis and L7 also recorded tracks for the album.
"Drug Me" and live tracks taken from the Under Siege video were later collected on the Australian-only EP Third World Posse (1992). In July 1992 Sepultura toured Australia, they were supported by local heavy metal group, Taramis.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or posse:
“The popularity of disaster movies ... expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment. Their thinly veiled symbolic meaning might be translated thus: We are innocent of wrongdoing. We are attacked by unforeseeable forces come to harm us. We are, thus, innocent even of negligence. Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“Peering, I heard the hooves come down the hill.
The posse passed, twelve horse; the leader’s face
Was worn as limestone on an ancient sill.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
