5 out of 5 stars All hail the king   August 11, 2008
All hail the king, baby. Max is back. When people thought this album's predecessor 'Dark Ages' was a return to form since their self titled debut, they were wrong. This is definitely the new king of the hill as far as Soulfly albums go. With less experimental breaks and more heavy, thrash and a bit more heavy, this is a must!!

Stand out tracks are 'Conquer', 'For Those About to Rot' and opener 'Blood Fire War Hate' it is relentless, classic Soulfly from start to finish.

Bring on their Bloodstock and mini tour next week, I sure as hell can't wait.



5 out of 5 stars Soulfly Conquer All   August 6, 2008

Wow. That is the first thing that I think of when faced with the new soulfly album. I am stunned by how awesome it is and by just how much I love it. It's classic Soulfly but with a totally inspired, fresh, in-your-face sound. It's got the expected tribal feel to it coupled with fabulously raw metal. My personal favourite tracks are Warmageddon and Unleash - really good tracks and great for moshing along to!

make sure you pick up the Special Edition package which has the Bonus tracks and a lovely little DVD for our viewing pleasure. Well worth a dozen quid!



5 out of 5 stars 5 stars!   July 29, 2008

Soulfly are more than just a metal band, it's got to be said. This album is thrashier, heavier and more brutal!
The pinpoint of the album for me is Unleash. Heavy guitars, Max's vocals raw and edgy, fast and definitely a song to bang your head to.
About half way during the song, the rhythm changes as well as the feel for the music (instrumentation mainly). A key feature you could say of Soulfly is they experiment with "world music" as a whole - something which I love by the way! Experimental metal music? It could be. This song is a prime example of the fact that the band explore and definitely experiment with world music (perhaps from their own background).

Also check out Doom!

A must have album for any metal fan. The best album Soulfly have released in my eyes.



4 out of 5 stars Great album let down by the usual problems   July 29, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Soulfly has come a long, LONG way from the early days of over-simplified nu-metal, guest-crowded and contrived albums Soulfly, Primitive and 3. With Prophecy came a new line-up which has since proven stable, Conquer being the third outing for this particular band, after the critically praised return-to-thrash that was Dark Ages. Conquer definitely follows the Dark Ages mold, with most of the songs being out and out thrash numbers, with the exception of the clearly Sabbath-inspired "Touching The Void" and the surprisingly restrained and straight-up-rocky "Soulfly VI". Amidst ridiculous titles like "For Those About To Rot" and "Warmageddon" you'll find plenty of insane riffing, drumming, and illogical lyric-shouting. Keeping this line-up of the band around has proved a smart move, with Joe Nunez's drumming on top form as always (is there anything he can't play?) and guitar maestro Marc Rizzo adding plenty of layers to each and every song.

The reason is the best Soulfly album? Well, it isn't stuffed to the gills with unnecessary 'guest performers'. For Conquer, Max decided two would be enough, so a menacing Dave Vincent and an indistinguishable-from-Max Dave Peters do well to actually enhance the tracks they appear on. As far as musical interpolation goes, there are a few baffling reggae moments here and there, but they are few and far between and are mostly tagged onto the end of other songs. The album ends with the quite nice 'Soulfly VI', the end of which in particular is a great way to end an album, fading serenely away. As always the production and artwork (in particular) are top notch.

The only problem with the album is the same problem that has plagued previous Soulfly special editions. The bloody bonus tracks are awful. The excruciatingly titled "Mypath" feels like an insult after the beauty of the album's closer, and the Bad Brains and Marilyn Manson covers are interesting but hardly essential listening. Roadrunner would have been better off leaving the bonus tracks on the DVD, as they did with Opeth earlier this year (a fantastic idea). As for the DVD, the concert is excellent, well recorded and expertly filmed. As such, it is the first release-worthy full Soulfly show. As a freebie with an album, I feared the quality would be low, as with Cannibal Corpse's Kill DVD, but instead we are treated to an energetic set, well shot and well mixed. The only let down is that its from the Prophecy tour, and as such focuses on the band's first four albums, missing out on all but one Dark Ages tracks and crucially, no Conquer material.

So in all, it's hands down the most restrained Soulfly album, and their best for it. While the album is let down by Max's crap lyrics and the overall package by shoddy bonus tracks and an out of date concert, it's still worth picking up. A great album for summer headbanging sessions the world over. Oh, and it's better than Inflikted, too.

Soulflys latest offering is refreshingly loud,eavy and brutal who needs a paint stripper when i can play this up to volume 11 and sit back and watch it fan the flames of destruction its such a riff and drum tearing album with no other than Max supplying his throat shredding vocals to tracks like "Warmageddon" etc the sort of album to take into battle!
