Dark Ages
Dark Ages is the latest album from the Brazilian metal band, Soulfly.
It is their fifth installment and perhaps their most brutal iteration of a unique sound which encompasses tribal drum beats, ethnic instruments like the sitar and politically charged, intelligent music that annihilates the typical sniveling & whining of pop-metal and nu-metal bands.
I've listened to the album only twice now, and both times while catching up on some reading, so I need to get in a good session with the lyrics and really get into the album. This isn't to say the album serves only as background music, it was simply not given my full attention.
First impression? Brutal. Max has put together a great album that reminds me of the early Sepultura album, Arise. The work is clean, but it is less technical than previous albums and opts more for a bludgeoning style of metal like Fear Factory.
