There was a band named Korn, there was a band
named Limp Bizkit, there was a band named Slipknot and so it goes... Max
Cavalera, formerly a member of a glorious Sepultura, hereby presents his own
contribution to the nu-metal explosion on American soil in the form of
Soulfly. You can easily guess that he wanted to stay true to the Sepultura
spirit by listening to the opening traditional jungle sounds on the first
track. Max and Soulfly is a bit peculiar though. While telling everyone to
"f**k all politics" he dedicates the album to God of all non-existing
entities and supports the conservation of the Brazilian rain forests. Without
politics there would be no democracy and definitely no rain forests left...
This shows pretty clearly that a modern society and religion does not work
very well together and it also shows once again that America is a land of
hypocrisy. Musically Soulfly doesn't bring this world anything new either. I
don't know if I dare to admit that I actually like Limp Bizkit, at least a
few songs, but Soulfly doesn't seem to be anything more than a Sepultura
trying to follow trends. They might not break new ground, they might not be my
kind of people but they are still making high quality music. There is nothing
beautiful in any of the nu-metal bands but the success derives from their
capability of producing pure energy and rage. This is Soulfly - energy and
rage.
