When I was a teenager i wanted to be JAMES HETFIELD or MAX CAVALERA. They were the shit! Their anger, singing style and performance just blew me away. Sure, SEPULTURA and METALLICA of today are not what they were in the good old days of the early nineties. I am not sure that young MAX or JAMES would listen to the last albums of either SEPULTURA or METALLICA, but maybe that’s why Cavalera is not a Sepultura member anymore. No doubt max still has the anger and he knows how to channel it through. CAVALERA CONSPIRACY AND SOULFLY are the right bands for him to do so.
The last Soulfly record CONQUER is brutal, heavy and interesting musically. And the production is really good. The new Soulfly record is due in May. Much anticipation there. But a small fear of it being not as good as I’d like it to. The fact that max say it’s more HARDCORE style, might insinuate a boring album. Hardcore is fucking great, but in metal, I like the music to be interesting with song parts, very good guitar mastership and great drums sound. Hardcore is very raw short stripped down songs. Again, it's great but it's not Soulfly. Max Cavalera likes to collaborate with others. A list of these collaborations with others is a whole post of its own, and sure enough we are for some on the new SOULFLY ALBUM. PRONG's TOMMY VICTOR and DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN’s GERG PUCIATO will contribute vocals (what about a NEW PRONG ALBUM ????) both Maxs' sons, ZION (which his heart beats feature on the beginning of CHAOS A.D.) and IGOR will play on two song, one of them is REFUSE RESIST cover, which is a bloody great metal tune!!As much as I’m sure I’m not the only one want max to join his brother Igor and make another BENETH THE REMAINS, I’m sure I’m not the only one eager to listen to the FIRST SINGLE out of the NEW SOULFLY ALBUM OMEN !!!
