SEPULTURA-Roots (my review)

 It's really the most idiomatic album from Cavalera's period. 

Here is a deep-rooted influence of Brazilian culture, music and heritage. The most in "Ratamahatta" or "Itsari". It's about the roots of Sepultura's members. They didn't forget on their roots and motherland. It's an unique connection of Brazilian music rhythms and metal music. 

This tribal metal madness starts with "Roots bloody roots". One of the most popular Sepultura songs. Total anthem at concerts. 

Other songs are good or not so good. In my opinion the best ones are "Roots bloody roots", "Attitude", "Cut-throat", "Spit", "Born stubborn", "Jasco", "Endangered species".

Through this tribal inferno there are angry, heavy, hard and crushing guitar riffs. 

Thunderous bass rumbles in this tribal metal storm. Cannonades of drums are sometimes adapted in the style of Brazilian music and atmosphere.

Vocals of Max Cavalera are totally powerful and explosive. His voice is like an explosion of volcano. And also a music of this album. Sepultura recorded totally the most unique album. Not the best but in its own essence unique. 

All these Brazilian tribal rhythms and voices are a special ornaments in these heavy tunes. It's suitable. Because of Sepultura's roots. It's insane but impressive. 

This album contains some magic of simplicity and uniqueness. There's something like a beating heart of jungle. It's not only about metal music. It's about roots and influence. About power of heritage, music and nature. Doesn't matter if you like this album or not. You'll never forget on it. 

Album "Roots" was successful because it was something new in heavy metal world. It was also the last album with Max Cavalera who created his new band Soulfly after departure. 

The spirit and influence of this album is audible in Soulfly albums.

ANTHRAX-It's for the kids (song review)

The first song after 10 years from their upcoming album Cursum Perficio. 

It seems like a dream came true. But it's a reality. No. It's more than any reality. I would like to write, finally! 

Finally a new musical disease spreading across the world. And it's infectious. Because I can't stop listening to this tune. The song in its own essence is hard, heavy, fresh and attractive. It's a big, great gift for Anthrax fans. And for all metal community. In this majestic tune a guitars plays thunderous, heavy, powerful riffs totally in the style of this band. The sound of guitars is more than perfect here. Guitar solo is brilliant, sharp as razor, fast as bullet and incredibly impressive.

Melodic and gorgeous bass guitar is an ornament for this tune. It sounds excellently. 

The power and energy comes also from a drumming cannonade. Charlie Benante is more than excellent drummer. 

And here is another man who gives a power to this band. It's Joey Belladonna. His voice is divine here. Clear and unmistakable. Vocal melodies are great. Mainly that chorus. It's fantastic and mainly infectious. 

This is one of their best songs. It's for the metal kids. It's for us all. 

Long live, Anthrax! Glory for you!

KREATOR-Cause for conflict (my review)

This album is from their experimental period but more with thrash metal style. This is the hardest album from this period. It's much more aggressive than Renewal. And much more insane and harder. It's like Extreme Aggression part II. With more experimental, progressive and insane face of Kreator. 

It's a return, short return to thrash metal. Supernatural, hypersonic ride and velocity. It's like a real cause for conflict in metal battlefield. It's an explosion!

I think that every song will devour every Kreator fan. Anytime and anywhere. Every song is an explosion of guitar riffs, drums, bass and vocals. Crushing, smashing guitars that plays excellent melodies and solos together with storming bass guitar. Through it all there's a cannonade of drums. Very dynamic, energetic and supernaturally powerful.

Powerful are also vocals. Mille spits the bullets out in this metal conflict. In this great musical storm. The band was in the top of speed and force again. It's hard to choose the best tune in this insane storm. 

Kreator didn't forget to play thrash metal even in this experimental period. Their music is infectious and runs in their veins. 

Some parts are experimental but mainly it's about furious ride in metal storm. 

Kreator recorded in 1995 one of their hardest albums. 

KREATOR-Renewal (my review)

The first experimental album by this thrash metal storm can be for someone terrible or good.

The rest from a typical thrash metal style of Kreator has started just with this album. And this experimental insanity was continuing with Cause for conflict, Outcast and Endorama. Music of this album is, of course, not so hard. In my opinion there's a lot of interesting ideas. Through it all this is a beautiful look into the past of this band and album sounds attractively. It's an example that album have not to be fast to be excellent. Kreator wanted some change and rest from the speed. 

But on this album you can hear some fast parts too. Renewal is mainly slower, heavy, mysterious and weird. 

The greatest songs are "Winter martyrium", "Renewal", "Brainseed", "Europe after rain" and "Depression unrest". "Winter martyrium" and "Renewal" are totally the best!

Guitars plays heavy, mysterious riffs, solos and melodies. They gives a characteristic atmosphere to this album. It's an unique emotion. Bass guitar is thunderous, mournful, deep and mysterious. 

Drums, I gotta write, they are energetic, impressive cannonade. Vocals, Mille sings a little differently but it suffice for this album. Lyrics are full of insane, interesting stories in this book of music. 

Renewal is not a perfect album but some songs or parts are great.
