" The Soulfly tribe is once again on the warpath ! "

" And I will be goddamned if Max and the boys haven't made their finest record yet. Channelling raw, unbridled rage through thrash guitars and Max Cavalera’s unmistakable, thunderous roar, Soulfly’s sixth album Conquer shifts from unrelenting precise thrash metal to slow brooding doom, offering more light and shade where previous albums have remained full steam ahead and a little more quirky."

" There will of course be a lot of comparisons between this and the recent Cavalera Conspiracy outing, but really it's very simple – 'Conquer' kills 'Inflikted' in every respect. On 'Conquer' the music is tighter, heavier, more diverse, more original, and far more engaging than 'Inflikted' ever managed. The world music influences again come shining through, although this time around they are a lot more focused, being Middle Eastern, specifically Egyptian, in flavour – a branch that fits in very nicely with metal. The ending of 'Fall Of The Sycophants' was recorded on the banks of the Nile and transports you there instantaneously, you can almost see the sun setting and smell the incense burning. The stand out track is the doom-laden 'Touching The Void' and its mammoth, crawling riffs weighing down on the ears – Max's ode to Black Sabbath is a worthy tribute, and just so fucking heavy!.......Fucking Heavy !

" This one has taken me by surprise...I did not expect this crushing of a record so soon after The Cavalera Conspiracy........Produced by Max and mixed by Andy Sneap.


Take No Prisoners.!.....Get It!
