Hello, I'm back with a new music review. This time it's about Sepultura.
Chaos AD is a metal album that's mixed with Cuban salsa, gothic, cow punk, crossover, black metal, death metal, nu metal, country rock, world music, hard rock, punk, jazz, blues, folk, and even pop elements, viking trip hop, industrial, roots, US college, rock, thrash metal, etc.
Let's move on to the album.
The album is very violent and Brazilian, blending many musical genres. The speed of punk fused with metal (Territory), the salsa (Kaiowas), the dark (We Are Not As Others), black metal themes (Nomad), Slave New World (punk/hardcore), thrash metal Refuse/Resist, etc.
The album is the conjunction between the black metal masterpiece Arise and the subsequent great Roots. The last great album of Sepultura.
I reserve 5 stars for masterpieces like Arise etc., but it's an indispensable work for everyone. I recommend it to you. Bye.
Sepultura does what no one had done before.
An album that will make history and fortune for this Brazilian band from Belo Horizonte that unintentionally changed something in the world of extreme music.
With "Chaos A.D." Sepultura move away from the tired "satanic" themes of previous albums, focusing more on the album's sound.
They still have the credit for having demonstrated, with "Chaos A.D.", how metal can be much more than a few repetitive chords and superficial poses oscillating between the epic and the satanic.
Chaos A.D. is a very beautiful album that breaks out of the canons of extreme music.
Their music evolves but never commercializes, which other bands were beginning to do at that time.
"Chaos A.D. represents a key moment in the band’s history, producing an intense, solid, and simply spectacular album."
"Impossible to remain passive in front of such violence, such anger, and such frontal assaults that do not make prisoners."
