"Slave New World" is Sepultura's sixth official single, and the final of three to be taken from the album Chaos A.D., released in 1994.

A music video was filmed for the single which features the band playing on what appears to be a volcano, intercut with footage of severe human conditioning, including branding people with barcodes.

The maxi-single was released in a foldout card digipak case which had two disc trays: one for the CD which came with it, and another to insert the second single into.

[3] This song was covered by the American band Trivium as a bonus track for deluxe editions of In Waves, and also by Eyes of the Dead on their EP, Lets Play Drink the Beer!!.

In April 2016, grandmother-fronted Canadian grindcore band Grindmother, released a cover version of "Slave New World" for a video and 7" single.
