On album number seven Max Cavalera does exactly what is expected of him. He once again delivers a kickass album that may or may not be as good as predecessor “Conquer” (their best album so far) but is still more than worthy of your time and money.
Soulfly has had a very recognizable sound from day one and that has never really changed (instrumental Soulfly song? Check… lyrics that read like slogans? Check). The biggest difference on “Omen” is that Cavalera seems to have shifted things to a higher gear which only makes for more headbanging pleasure. The guests have always been a big thing on Soulfly albums and with contributions by Prong’s Tommy Victor (“Lethal Injection”) and Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato (“Rise Of The Fallen”) that is once again no different on here. Hell, it’s two of the coolest songs on here.
Cavalera has been going at it for 25 years and if he proves one thing with “Omen”, then it would be that there’s simply no slowing this man down. Still can’t get enough? The new Cavalera Conspiracy album has already been recorded and will be out early 2011.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
