Album Review

Longtime fans of Sepultura who feared that ex-leader Max Cavalera would conform to the tempting (and lucrative) alternative music scene upon his departure need not worry. Like his last release with Sepultura, the superb Roots, experimentation (Brazilian tribal drumming/rhythms, samples, unearthly sound effects, etc.) is a catalyst here on Soulfly, but gut-wrenching heavy metal is the foundation for almost all of the tracks. The energy and intensity don't let up for a second throughout this debut, as heard on the grinding tracks "Eye for an Eye," "Bumbklaatt," and "The Song Remains Insane." Max had stated in interviews his fondness for reggae legend Bob Marley, and the title track proves to be his first foray into reggae/dub territory (and serves as a nice break from the rest of the album's over the top metal). The album also contains guest appearances by several leading hard rockers — Chino Moreno from the Deftones, Fred Durst and DJ Lethal from Limp Bizkit, Eric Bobo from Cypress Hill, and Burton C. Bell, Dino Cazares, and Christian Olde Wolbers from Fear Factory. Soulfly is the perfect vehicle for Cavalera's unique heavy metal vision, and a great way to kick off the second part of his recording career.

Après Sepultura , Soulfly

Nouveau projet de Max Cavalera après son départ de Sepultura en 1996 pendant la tournée de l'album Roots. Comme l'album Roots, Soulfly contient plusieurs participations d'artistes divers; Fred Durst, Dj Lethal de Limp Bizkit, Chino Moreno de Deftones et plusieurs autres. Des éléments de musique traditionnelle brésilienne sont proposées mais un niveau moindre que dans l'album Roots. J'ai toujours eu l'impression que ce disque aurait pu s'appeler Roots 2, la batterie et le jeu des guitares sont très semblables. Soulfly n'est pas mauvais mais il manque ce petit quelque chose si on le compare à Sepultura durant la période de Max Cavalera.

Biography

Formed: 1997

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Upon his exit from Sepultura in late 1996, singer/guitarist/songwriter Max Cavalera almost automatically set out to form his next musical endeavor, the ultra-heavy Soulfly. Besides leaving one of the most popular heavy metal bands in the world, which he'd co-founded in the early '80s, he also had to deal with the unsolved murder of Dana Wells, his stepson and best friend. Using music as therapy to overcome his depression, Cavalera put together a band that included Roy "Rata" Mayorga on drums (ex-Thorn)...
