At long last, the Cavalera brothers Max and Igor have let bygones be bygones. The unpleasant departure of Max from Sepultura not only cost them their front man, but also cost Igor his brother. It was a really ugly scene, and it's always a shame when great bands part company like this.
Anyways, after 12 years, the brothers are again blasting the metal world with their unique brand of neo-thrash metal. The CD is a tour de force of blasting and grooving of the kind you might expect. The opening track "Inflikted" could easily have been on the classic "Beneath the Remains" CD, and the pace never lets up. It features music that draws from all the various styles that both brothers have released over the years. "Terrorizer" sound like something from the Chaos A.D. era, "Ultraviolent" would be right at home on any Soulfly CD etc. etc.
For the band, they recruited American guitarist Mark Rizzo, and French bassist Joe Duplantier, an excellent completion to the already overpowering combination of Max's vocals and guitar, and Igor's legendary drumming.
All in all, there are really no surprises here. It's exactly what you would expect from the Cavalera brothers, and that's awesome thrash metal, plain and simple.
