Annotation
Industrial Metal group, formed in 1981 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and currently in Los Angeles, California, USA. The song "N.W.O." (Sire Records # 9 26727-2) (standing for "New World Order") was inspired by the First Gulf War and a protest against police violence of other issues of the day - the official video featured clips of riots and police beatings, including in the manner of the killing of Rodney King. The song contained audio clips of Dennis Hopper's character saying "it's alright" from the Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now (1979), and a clip from a George H. W. Bush speech claiming a "new world order".
