Soulfly Enslaved

2012, This time around, the heavy metal tribe treads extreme territory by incorporating blast beats, violent riffs and wheezing whammy squeals into its patented groove-driven war cry. All of those elements converge within a concept record about slavery- a first for legendary frontman Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy). The genesis of ENSLAVED can actually be traced back to Sepultura's groundbreaking and seminal album ROOTS in 1996. Shortly after its completion, Cavalera began pondering the idea of doing an entire album centered around the theme of slavery. This is also the inaugural offering from the group's new lineup featuring bassist Tony Campos (ex-Static-X) and drummer David Kinkade (Borknagar) alongside Cavalera and guitar cohort Marc Rizzo.
