Soulfly, Savages: Album Review

I am not sure whether Max Cavalera is at a point in his career where he feels he can rest and let his sons carve their own paths as they ‘guest,’ on his Soulfly albums or if he’s honestly just taking a piss these days?  I mean, I feel like a fish trying to swim upstream only to die when listening to Soulfly albums since 2005’s Dark Ages.  Each album since has had a couple highlights but have mostly been disappointing.

Soulfly are back with a new album on October 1st.  It’s called Savages and it’s the ninth banger from Max Cavalera and company.  First single is ‘Bloodshed,’ and the lyric video for it is below.  I’ll be honest – I haven’t really felt passionate about these guys since Dark Ages (2005), but like a little metal sheep – I’ve still followed along because these guys still shred and thrash like no one’s business.  It sounds better the louder you play it, so […]

2011 is proving to be the year where bands say “Fuck You!” to the sophomore slump. Regardless of the band members’ metal veteran status, even Cavalera Conspiracy could  be prone to slip up on album number two. Luckily that’s not the case with Blunt Force Trauma.   On Blunt Force Trauma, the brothers Cavalera up the ante to a trillion. It’s a thrash record. It’s a metal record. It’s a punk record. No frills, no world influence. Just straight up, […]
