 Album Of The Year August 30, 2008
Doug Edwards (salt lake city ,utah)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
yes folks we have it right here 2008 album of the year and it is Labor Day weekend so not much left to come out besides the new Metallica so anyway lets get down to business this one took me by surprise because the last Soulfly album Dark Ages was borderline incredible this one is arguably thier finest moment clocks in at 71 minutes or so and never a dull moment they tear your head off with their thrash and then they get into experimental tribal stuff which is common for them but just briefly in most songs, highlights include most everything but # 1 blood fire war hate is a great starter # 3 paranoia # 4 warmageddon # 7 fall of the Psychophants #8 Doom and especially # 10 touching the void total Black Sabbath worship {they even say in the lyric sheet [to Black Sabbath]and then end it with Soulfly VI [instrumental] which is something that Ritchie Blackmore would have done on any Rainbow album good stuff indeed and the bonus tracks of Bad Brains and I really liked Marilyn Mansons The Beautiful People HELL YAH
if Max Cavalera stepped in the ring with all 9 members of SLIPKNOT and compared new albums 9 people would be dead and Max would have 9 Stonehenge masks as a trophy
Another great Soulfly Album August 1, 2008
Eric Matern (New York, New York)
Couldn't wait to get this one! Just saw Cavalera Conspiracy in NYC, and was waiting for the end of July for the new Soulfly to come out. Well I wasn't disappointed! Album is great, heavy, melodic, and different. Max does a great job on this.
I picked up the Bonus CD that comes with 2 extra songs and a DVD with a live show. TOTALLY WORTH THE EXTRA 2 bucks.
Buy this NOW and LET YOUR SOUL FLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
 I liked it, but its more early Sepultura/Cavalera Conspiracy than Soulfly August 3, 2008
Plaid Ninja (NY)
I love this cd's predecessor - Dark Ages. Absolutely LOVE that CD. I liked Primitive & Prophecy, and I love Sepultura's Chaos AD & Roots. I like CC's Inflikted, but not as much as those others. What I liked about the CD's I mentioned above is how they went beyond being simply angry metal CD's. Nothing wrong with a well made angry metal CD, but I think there's enough of them out there already. What set these apart was their unique combination of world music and melody combined with Max being pissed off and letting us know why. This CD... not so much. Sure there are those elements there... SLIGHTLY. There's nothing like Babylon or Living Sacrifice on this CD. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of great material here. Its just not at all what I was hoping for from a Soulfly release. If Max & Iggor got back with Sepultura and put this out I'd say ok, that sounds about right. I dunno, maybe I'm being picky. Its good and it'll get me through the gym well enough, but its not something I'm going to be playing very often. I'll probably stick to Dark Ages and keep hoping for more on their next release.
Soulfly Makes A Pure Thrash Metal Album! August 5, 2008
JetBlackNewYear (California)
I heard in an interview that Conquer was written and recorded quite quickly and fluently which right of the bat seems like quite a different approach for the band, who's frontman Max Cavalera spends much time traveling to other countries finding and being influenced by other worldly sounds and music before writing a record. Instead though, it appears on Conquer that Max simply stuck to what he knows best, good o'l fashioned thrash metal! (The first 9 tracks of Conquer are beasty thrash anthems.) What's really cool though is that Soulfly is really coming together as a band. You can tell when you hear Conquer that the rest of the guys got to express themselves alot more so on this record and really shine, especially talented guitarist Marc Rizzo. This may be so because of Max's preoccupation with Cavalera Conspiracy (although Bobby Burns and Marc Rizzo are in the band as well, the Cavalera brothers are prob. the primary song writers) or maybe Max has just been feeling really nostalgic lately (also mentioning in the interview influences from Bolt Thrower and Slayer among others). Even though this album is for the most part less experimental and has less/fewer "grooves" and "vibes" than previous records(besides the melodic _Soulfly VI_ and the heavy brooding 7 minute epic _Touching The Void_), it totally shreds and makes for high quality headbanging material! The lyrics and subject matter on Conquer are typically cliche and the same as everything else Max has expressed in all his other songs, but that's pretty much my only criticism... other than that if you REALLY like old school Testament, Exodus, Slayer, and Sepultura like I do, you will find much satisfaction in Soulfly's latest Conquer.
The DVD rocks too; the setlist, performance, crowd energy, picture quality,ect. The camera changes about every 5 sec. though, which didn't really bother me, but I know it does alot for some viewers I know, just to let you all know before you get it...
surprised me! August 5, 2008
crown of indica (saint paul,mn,usa)
after the last,say,3-4 Soulfly albums(actually,everything after the debut)I lost touch when primitive came out.seemed like Max was trying so desperately to get them to break into the mainstream by going nu-metal,but he forgot that mainstream folks refuse to get past growling vocals and won't take the time to read lyrics:with dark ages and now conquer he's realized this and has gotten back to his roots.dark ages was o.k.--heavy,faster,more solos;but it just didn't click with me.Yesterday I bought conquer on a whim thinking"well,if it's like most the other stuff I'll just give it to bro";after hearing David Vincent from Morbid Angel on the first track my mind was pretty much made up that even if the rest of the cd was flakey "fun-metal" fare I'd keep it for the first track.the rest of it played and I was VERY impressed!this is the closest that Max or anyone from the Sepulcamp has come to getting that 90's heart-felt metal intensity back into the music!I figured that this would pale in comparrisson to the Cav Con album,but just the opposite!
