Product Description
Soulfly 3 could be seen as a major return from Max Cavalera and Co. There were two major criticisms of Soulfly's previous album, Primitive. Firstly, that frontman Cavalera was failing to continue the ethnic experimentalism of Roots, his last studio album with Sepultura. Then there were the guests--members of Slayer, Will Haven, Slipknot, even Sean Lennon. People wondered why they'd bought a Cavalera album to hear everyone but Max.
Soulfly 3 puts all that right. There are occasional guests--Ill Nino's Cristian Machado adds soft(er) vocals to "One", and Asha Rabouin lends sweetness to the otherwise manic "Tree Of Pain"--but, with Max now producing, this is all about Cavalera and his roots. "Brasil" features a rap/chant over a pulverising bass, the track "Soulfly III" sees guitars mellifluously intertwining over a tribal clatter, while "Zumbi" grows from a cacophony of shakers and tin-cans into a hypnotic flood of percussion, before mutating into a wash of wind-chimes and mellow guitar, more like Idaho or Codeine than Sepultura. It's fascinating throughout, and often crushingly heavy. The opening "Downstroy" has Max at his most punishing until it collapses into a disconcerting information-overload of disembodied chatter and wild clatterings. Both "Enterfaith" and LOTM are utterly remorseless, as are "Call To Arms" and "Four Elements", which follow the respectful one-minute silence of "9-11-01". All in all, 3 is imaginative, resourceful and savage--Soulfly's best by a long chalk. --Dominic Wills
CD Description
Third album from Brazilian metal band Soulfly, and the follow up to their 2000 release 'Primitive'. More experimental than their previous two albums, fusing their own brand of high energy hardcore metal with sonic tribal rhythms, and soulful acoustic guitars. Heavier yet more melodic than anything they have done before.
