专辑介绍

by Johnny Loftus

This Brazil/Japan-only EP from São Paulo's toughest metal band includes eight &Sepulturyzed& versions of songs from artists as disparate as U2, Devo, and Public Enemy. While heavy, thrash-influenced cover versions of well-known material might have become camp in lesser hands (and is a bit of a cliché in the metal genre), the veterans in Sepultura treat the songs as seriously as they do their own. This envelops the EP with a visceral quality that the songs' individual resonance can't shake, forbidding most of the material to exist simply as snarky heavy metal cover songs. Sepultura applies a chokehold from note one of Hellhammer's &Messiah,& and doesn't take its knee off the listener's chest until the brutal death throes of Exodus' &Piranha.& In between, the foreboding slow-motion groove of Massive Attack's &Angel& is replicated without remorse, vocalist Derrick Green's bloodcurdling growl replacing the spacy flow of Horace Andy on the original. The contributions of DJ Gonzales and Brazilian rapper Sabotage on &Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos& save what would have been a decent, yet toothless cover of the Public Enemy classic, but the band fails with a listless take on Jane's Addiction's &Mountain Song.& Fortunately, this is the only real low point. Devo's &Mongoloid& is cheap and easy fun, while Green and the band tear and snap at U2's cynical, apocalyptic &Bullet the Blue Sky& with jaws that would swallow Bono whole. Concluding Revolusongs is a throwaway bonus track marrying &Enter Sandman&'s riff with the lockstep thrash of &Fight Fire With Fire& from Ride the Lightning. It's unclear whether its inclusion is a nod to Metallica's Garage Days Re-Revisited or simply a studio gag. But with Sepultura still recovering from Max Cavalera's departure, Revolusongs is definitely a chance for Green to get a vocal workout while continuing to ingratiate himself with what's left of the band's fan base.
