great album. honestly its really good. but i miss the tribal sound a lot. even tl this day; with their newer albums. i listen to their new and old music but i wish they kept up the tribal lart of it. big part if you ask me.

I realize that almost no none ever b1tches about Soulfly, but for you little diks out ther who go around complaining about other bands, no one wants to hear it! it's not like you b1tching is gonna make people like the band less. and also, i'm 12. i don't see what the big deal about that is. i love metal and am personally a drummer. so if ur gonna go whining about it, don't whine to the fans!

I must have been under a rock or something, but when did Soulfly reinvent balls? This albumn totally revitalizes Max's original passion for metal, although it does meld into some of what's been going on out there akin to Chimaira, In Flames, and Arch Enemy, etc.... It's still WAY better than Soulfly's 3nd and 3rd albumn put together. I miss the tribal days of early Sepultura, but I think it should remain how it was.... glorious! Right on Max.

This Album is just fricken awesome!!! Max Cavalera is awesome and this album is probably the best I have heard from them! 5/5 Stars!!! I LOVE soulfly and they continue to impress me! :D

this album is pretty good the guitar riffs are good and they have different drum beats so yeah pretty good

It's sad to say that this may be the closest my generation will ever get to the raw sound that Max once used to wreck havoc and hell across the planet with Sepultura. This album gave me some relief that I may one day, however, get to see something close. Soulfly have tossed their nu metal sound asunder with this new effort, and the thrash influence is once again made apparent.

The only problem I had with this album is that the lyrics continue to become over-simplified. Max isn't an idiot folks. Sepultura's old lyrics brought priests to tears - and if Max and the other boys from Soufly get that straight, then thrashers can rejoice at the return of an old hero. Until then, this album can compensate.

I like this album because it returns to a more hardcore sound. The tribal sound is largely missing from it, but so what... I like it when Max creates that stuff, I like it when he creates this stuff. To me, he is the only one who can make both sounds work. And finally he's back with his brother Igor. Anything Cavalera is awesome starting with "Arise", in my opinion. This album is no different.

For a long time Sepultura fan and someone who has listened to Sepultura for 20 years, this is music to my ears. Sounds like doing the Cavalera Conspiracy project with brother Igor paid off. the last 3 Soulfly releases sounds like the direction of Sepultura was headed when they broke up. If your a MAX FAN, the following is what the progression should have been for the Cavalera brothers through the last two decades.

1. Morbid Visions-Bestial Devastation (Sepultura)

2. Schizophrenia (Sepultura)

3. Beneath the Remains (Sepultura)

4. Arise (Sepultura)

5. Chaos AD (Sepultura)

6. Roots (Sepultura)

7. Prophecy (Soulfly)

8. Dark Ages (Soulfly)

9. Cavalera Conspiracy

10. Conquer (Soulfly)

Everything else either brother did does not stand up to the test of time. This would have been the natural order of releases if Sepultura would have stayed together. New Soulfly is back to the basics which made MAX a legend in this style of music. Thanks from an old school die hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Move over Sepultura, Soulfly is back and with fire in their souls. I have been into Soulfly since the beginning, I loved Sepultura, and then when I heard that Max Cavalera was going to be releasing a new project, I had to know what it was. So, I picked up their self titled debut album the day it came out and loved it, ever since then, every time a Soulfly album would be released, I would be there, at my local CD distributor ready to pick it up, rip off the wrapping, put it in my CD player, and just crank it up and enjoy. This album is no different. I mean for an album to feature Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent on the opening track, and then the next track featuring Throwdown lead vocalist, Dave Peters, and then towards the end of the album, my favorite track on the album, "Touching the Void," which seems to be ripped right from a Black Sabbath recording session, there are no sour spots on this album. Back is the signature tribal sounds, Max's signature vocals, and amazing thrash playing. 'It's how you live, not how you fall,' Cavalera screams on the 6th track, "Rough," and Soulfly truly live up to that motto. Earlier this year, Max got back with his brother and released an album by the band Cavalera Conspiracy. That album is spectacular too, but that is not the point, I was afraid that with all the stuff Max was doing, the Soulfly album will get delayed, but thank god it was not. It came out and sounds just as good if not better then anything else Max Cavalera has done. By this album beacuse it very well may be the best album of the year.

What has max been smoking these last couple of years? He leaves behind the mega-giant Sepultura to start off this new Soulfly idea, to come out with, let's be honest, a pretty weak initial discography with an ever changing line-up (which is always a bad sign, no matter the excuses). Then he buckles down and we get Dark Ages, bang! Cavalera Conspiracy, bang! and now Conquer, bang! But what's more important here is that these albums are not just passable-to-good cookie-cutter cookie-monster vocals with chugging guitars and blast beats, they are pushing established musical limits in very creative ways, incorporating new sounds and rhythmic devices with a social commentary. If there's a more important musician/band in aggressive music at the moment, I have no idea who that might be. The mainstream music establishment needs to pay more attention to where the real creativity is coming from nowdays.

Period.

Soulfly's latest installment takes you back twenty years ago when Sepultura reigned supreme in Thrash Metal. And this is the mother of all thrash albums. Conquer Opens up with "Blood Fire War Hate", one of the most brutal, fast paced, craziest, tracks I have ever listened to. Max and guest vocalist David Vincent compete in an all out duel of grunts and howls on this exciting roller coaster of a ride track. "Paranoia"s opening riff has reminiscient Sepultura riffs. Its a true classic. "Warmagedden" is somewhat like "Corrosion Creeps" on Soulfly's last album Dark Ages. Its starts off slow and then goes to 100mph on its bewildering guitar solo, my hats off to Mark Rizzo on this dark solo. The album continues on with "Rough." Hardcore fans will dig this track, a true headbanger. "Fall of the Sycophants" and "Doom" both have some memorable thrash riffs and will leave you gasping for air. Conquer closes off with "Touching the Void" which is somewhat reminiscient to Black Sabbath. Thrash lovers will not be dissapointed with Cavalera's latest creation.

its great but whats the difference between both conquer ablums are they 2 seperate?

Conquer is ACE! It's like all my favourite musical influences rolled into one (bar the most important): lots of thrash and death and bits of melodic black influences in some places and some real nice solos here and there. There's some Raggae groove even! Track 7 sounds like it came from the mind of the great and late Chuck Schuldiner; The Egyptian bit sounds a tad misplaced and reminded me of the typical Opethian transition but I dig it - especially because of the traditional and raw feel to it with the people tacking in the background. This is only the first listen and I'm quite impressed with it. Can't decide whether it's better than the Dark Ages yet but it's certainly a great achievement by Max and Soulfly.

I think this is Soulfly's greatest effort yet. Max Cavalera's voice is at it's best and the riffs are heavier than ever. If you are a SOULFLY fan buy this album. It does not dissapoint. It has classic Sepultura thrash riffs to slow sludge chugging riffs (Touching the Void) along with world percussive instruments within (something Soulfly has always done well). And don't worry about Fred Durst popping up on this one either.

A pretty solid album. Sounds like Soulfly went a little more old-school with this one, drawing inspiration from some of the early Sepultura albums (i.e. Arise and Chaos A.D.). You can really hear it in some of the guitar riffs. What's really missing from this album, however, is the peppering-in of that tribal sound (drums, chanting, undulating rhythms) that made some of the earlier Soulfly albums so cool. Still, Soulfly blows the doors off most of the metal bands out there today.

The latest offering from Soulfly is their best album yet, not to say any of the others are bad. This album is solid from beginning to end. I heard Unleash off the myspace page and have been hungering for the release of this album sense. Blood Fire War Hate (the opening track) will have you begging for more. If you're new to Soulfly, buy the other albums, you won't be disappointed. If you're already a Soulfly fan, don't hesitate to buy this album. Mucho Bueno!

If you like Soulfly you need this album. This album is much more focased then previous albums. Not to mention Dave Vincent does guest vocals on Blood Fire War Hate.

Between this and CC I'm set until the next release. Max is an awesome musician, this is intense I love it.

I have always followed Sepultura, Nailbomb, Soulfy, CC and whatever else Max tends to be a part of. I own all the albums of the aforementioned and generally like all of them. I give this 3 stars NOT because the album is bad, but because it just doesn't feel like Soulfly material. I think Max has become a victim of his own multi-project career in that everything being put out could be labelled whatever else he is working on. This could easily be an extension of the CC stuff, but I guess it simply does not remind me of SOULFLY. I don't get that Heavy-Tribal-Organic-Metal feel like I do from the other Soulfly stuff.

Anyway, this is a 4 to 4.5 star album as it stands, but just a 3 compared to other Soulfy material if that makes sense. I like it otherwise.

A great album. Another outstanding addition to the Soulfly catalogue. As a HUGE fan I opted to go to a brick and mortar store to buy the physical album and picked up the deluxe addition with 3 additional audio tracks and a DVD with a concert (Warsaw) and a music video for "Innerspirit." Also included is additional album artwork.

Great soulfly album, better than most crap out there any how!!!!!

I own all the soulfly albums and i got to say one thing, this is there best yet. Every track is killer, just buy it now!!
