celebrating the groove metal heaviness: Soulfly - Omen

Wikipedia shows that this is the release date for the international version of the album, their seventh album. There certainly are patented Max Cavalera grooves and vocals on the album, for sure. However, I think there are a few other things that make the proposition interesting; sometimes, the thrash riffs show up at just the right time. Also, in a way, I feel like this is a bit of a leaner, meaner presentation that gets straight to the point rather fast. Finally, you might be surprised at how much melody continues to show up throughout the album! Max doing Max things.
