Product Description
Soulfly' s sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, may very well
be the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart. The songs much
like the warriors in the film- channel raw, unbridled rage through a
cacophony of thrash guitars, infectious grooves, tribal polyrhythms and
Max Cavalera' s unmistakable, thunderous roar. On this record, Soulfly
unleash a metallic mayhem unlike anything they' ve done previously.
Conquer shifts from unrelenting, precise speed metal to slow,
brooding doom. Marc Rizzo' s lead guitar rips with the precision of a
smart bomb, while Bobby Burns grinds out volatile, chest-caving bass
lines. Drummer Joe Nunez crushes behind the kit, forging a rhythmic
background for all-out sonic war. Once again, it' s the legendary Max
Cavalera who stands at the eye of the storm, uniting the musical tribe
and acting as its unofficial leader. His voice and guitar command the
tribe into battle with each line and riff. Grab your war paint and prepare
for the onslaught.

The Soulfly tribe is once again on the warpath. Soulfly's sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, is the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart.

The legendary Max Cavalera stands at the eye of the storm, uniting the musical tribe and acting as its unofficial leader. Since their Silver-certified, self-titled debut in 1997, Soulfly have remained one of the genre's most consistently brutal outfits.

Another winner from Soulfly. These guys keep putting out awesome CDs. If you like their other stuff you'll love this one. I'd recommend them all.
Max Cavalera - Metal God! October 15, 2008
The Cycle Psycho (Atlanta, GA)
This is one of the best albums I've listened to in years! Crushing one minute, groovin' the next, but consistently heavy! An awesome riff every second. Max is a Metal God and this is some of their best work, EVER!
wow didnt think max had this in him September 3, 2008
Elite
iv always thought of soulfly as a hit and miss type of band with a few killer singles then i got this album which is possibly the best metal iv heard for a decade it stands up next to chaos ad and roots i was shocked at how good it is Max sings like he did 15 years ago, how sad that metallicas poor excuse for a metal album will sell millions more then this.
Max's finest since Roots! August 1, 2008
P. B. Delavega (Queens, New York)
This album was a nice surprise when I first listened to it. It rocks from beginning to end. There are parts that remind me of old school Sepultura and Max's growls are even better than Dark Ages. Great album!
The heaviest and most musically diverse Soulfly album yet July 30, 2008

2008 is a good year for Max Cavalera. He and his brother recently got together for the first time in nearly 12 years since playing in Sepultura, and recorded the Cavalera Conspiracy album Inflikted. After that, you'd think it'd be enough. Months later, we have Soulfly's sixth album Conquer. While Inflikted was more about Max and Igor letting their punk, thrash, and hardcore influences out, this album is definitely more influenced by the extreme talents of bands like Slayer, Bolt Thrower and Napalm Death. It is a never-ending bulldozer of energy and aggression that keeps rolling and doesn't let up until the instrumental "Soulfly VI" (a tradition on each album, each instrumental numbered by the album: self-titled-Soulfly, Primitive-Soulfly II, 3-Soulfly III, Prophecy-Soulfly IV, Dark Ages-Soulfly V). One thing interesting is that for Soulfly's first three albums, the lineup was always different. The current lineup has been able to maintain itself for three albums, which is great because it's the best one especially because of lead guitarist Marc Rizzo, who is not only excellent at rhythm guitar playing, but lays down amazing guitar solos. Prepare to hear to hear some sick shreddage here. Did I mention that Conquer is the first Soulfly record where mixing duties were handled by Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Testament, Megadeth, Arch Enemy)? The resulting sound is a mixture of old and new: the Soulfly sound of previous albums Prophecy and Dark Ages, but with a heavier overall edge, and quite a few twists.
Who would have thought that Max would able to keep Soulfly together long enough to make six albums? Nobody thought he would do anything worthwhile after leaving Sepultura. Say what you want, but he deserves more credit than he is given.
