Soulfly - Conquer (CD + DVD)

Special Edition CD/DVD set includes three bonus tracks. The bonus DVD features a previously unreleased full concert from Warsaw, Poland, 2005. The Soulfly tribe is once again on the warpath.
Soulfly' s sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, may very well
be the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart. The songs much
like the warriors in the film- channel raw, unbridled rage through a
cacophony of thrash guitars, infectious grooves, tribal polyrhythms and
Max Cavalera' s unmistakable, thunderous roar. On this record, Soulfly
unleash a metallic mayhem unlike anything they' ve done previously.
Conquer shifts from unrelenting, precise speed metal to slow,
brooding doom. Marc Rizzo' s lead guitar rips with the precision of a
smart bomb, while Bobby Burns grinds out volatile, chest-caving bass
lines. Drummer Joe Nunez crushes behind the kit, forging a rhythmic
background for all-out sonic war. Once again, it s the legendary Max
Cavalera who stands at the eye of the storm, uniting the musical tribe
and acting as its unofficial leader. His voice and guitar command the
tribe into battle with each line and riff. Grab your war paint and prepare
for the onslaught. Product Description

GREAT-EXCELLENT-PERFECT

I HEARD SOULFLY PLAYING ON YOUTUBE-PRIMITIVE...AND IT SOUNDED ALRIGHT. AFTER I BOUGHT "INFLIKTED-CAVALERA CONSPIRACY" I HEARD THEM PLAY ON HEADBANGERSBALL, TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ALBUM CAME OUT, AND MAX SOUNDS JUST LIKE SEPULTURA DAYS- I BOUGHT THE ALBUM AND IT IS NO DESSAPOINMENT. I WENT AND BOUGHT EVEN THE "DARK AGES" ALBUM WHICH SOUNDS LIKE "ROOTS BLOODY ROOTS" OR CHAOS A.D. IF YOU LIKE OLD SEPULTURA, YOU'LL DEFINETELY LIKE THIS ONE. ALSO BUY THE NEW CAVALERA CONSPIRACY ALBUM. October 24, 2008

Album Of The Year

yes folks we have it right here 2008 album of the year and it is Labor Day weekend so not much left to come out besides the new Metallica so anyway lets get down to business this one took me by surprise because the last Soulfly album Dark Ages was borderline incredible this one is arguably thier finest moment clocks in at 71 minutes or so and never a dull moment they tear your head off with their thrash and then they get into experimental tribal stuff which is common for them but just briefly in most songs, highlights include most everything but # 1 blood fire war hate is a great starter # 3 paranoia # 4 warmageddon # 7 fall of the Psychophants #8 Doom and especially # 10 touching the void total Black Sabbath worship {they even say in the lyric sheet [to Black Sabbath]and then end it with Soulfly VI [instrumental] which is something that Ritchie Blackmore would have done on any Rainbow album good stuff indeed and the bonus tracks of Bad Brains and I really liked Marilyn Mansons The Beautiful People HELL YAH
if Max Cavalera stepped in the ring with all 9 members of SLIPKNOT and compared new albums 9 people would be dead and Max would have 9 Stonehenge masks as a trophy
