Lookout Soulfly fans, Max and co. are back with album number seven titled Omen. Besides the standard version, Omen is also available as a song packed special edition with an intense live performance on DVD captured in Germany last year, plus a few bonus tracks, making that edition a great overall value for your money.
In 2008 we were treated to a great new Soulfly CD Conquer and introduced to Max's new band with his brother Igor called Cavalera Conspiracy and their wicked CD Inflicted, now in late 2010 it's looking like we will also hear new music from Cavalera Conspiracy. I do prefer the Max era of Sepultura hence Conquer and Inflicted were very welcome as is this new CD.
There are no signs of toning their aggression down, as Soulfly release their rage on this newest recording. Max's vocals are as potent as ever and guitarist Marc Rizzo's playing is as phenomenal as ever, all four members united Soulfly has one choice line-up. The band wastes no time as they explode on the very good "Bloodbath & Beyond", the solo is one of the many crackers on Omen, before the groove of "Rise Of The Fallen" kicks in, with Greg Puciato(The Dillinger Escape Plan) lending his voice to this addictive song, which will most probably be one of the favorites for many. "Lethal Injection" has Tommy Victor (Prong) adding his voice and "Kingdom" is guaranteed to get heads banging.
As every other Soulfly release has an instrumental they continue the tradition on Omen with "Soulfly VII", sure to give your ears some reprieve from the metal barrage, as Soulfly display a much lighter side to the band with another cool tune. The three bonus tracks include a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Four Sticks", and the final two songs are from Sepultura and Excel with Max's sons on drums.
Soulfly's Omen is another top metal CD sure to ignite many animated moshpits. Now, all I want to know now is when exactly will that next Cavalera Conspiracy CD be released?
