Sepultura | Nation
Sepultura back from the Brazil jungle with heart-pounding drums and ear-tearing riffs.
CD, Roadrunner
Tekst: Bart Nijssen

After the charismatic frontman and co-founder Max Cavalera left Sepultura (and formed Soulfly) a few years ago, nobody believed in the band anymore. That wasn't strange as the first album with new frontman Derrick Green (formerly of Outface) 'Against' (1998) wasn't that interesting. But now the Seps are back, with new album 'Nation'. And finally, Derrick Green seems to fit in really well. Music and vocals are one, this time around. You'd almost forget Max Cavalera used to be in this band. So the vocal part seems to be okay this time. Many will wonder what Sepultura will sound like these days. 1996's bestseller 'Roots' was an album with a lot of influences (I bet you all know the tribal 'Ratamahatta'). On 'Nation' the tribal influences aren't that emphasized. But still it is an album with a lot of different styles. Just listen to 'Uma Cura' (with (Hed) Planet Earth's DJ Product), 'Who must die?', 'Politricks' (with the Dead Kennedy's Jello Biafra) or the classic 'Valtio' (with the Finnish string quartet Apocalyptica). The songs have good structures, and the band, fortunately, hasn't lost its heaviness. Steve Evetts (Hatebreed) produced the album, and he did a great job. But is it groundbreaking? Is it breathtaking? No. It's just good. (And if you're gonna buy it, make sure you get the digipack; it contains 5 extra songs [although it includes a bad version of 'Roots Bloody Roots' live...]).
