When heavy objects collide unexpectedly there are always passengers whose perception of reality undergoes a sudden transformation. Blunt Force Trauma, the pulverizing new album from Cavalera Conspiracy, is the musical evocation (and possibly even the literal equivalent!) of those sensations. Abrupt, hyper-charged and possessed of some of the fiercest riffage and percussive bombardment of the Brazilian born Cavalera brothers' storied career, it's a sophomore-slump defying declaration that the Cavalera Conspiracy was no mere one-off, fluke or temporary side-project. "If you liked the first Cavalera Conspiracy album you're going to love this one," promises vocalist / guitarist Max Cavalera. "It's more brutal. It's more in-your-face. 'Blunt force trauma' is the feeling you get when you hear it!" An invigorating mixture of the speed and aggression of Slayer, the urgency and willpower of seminal hardcore like Minor Threat and the heaviness and musical prowess of Cavalera Conspiracy's Inflikted debut, Blunt Force Trauma is eleven tracks of intense, powerful and jarringly immediate metal with punk attitude and venomous spirit. Iggor Cavalera's performance is an instant reminder as to why he's long been recognized as a drumming icon in the scene. Stomping, multi-dimensional and full of the rich experiences he's had with a variety of ethnic percussion and within the world of hard-driving and pulse-pounding DJ work, the preeminence of what Max's brother lays down on Blunt Force Trauma is undeniable. Bassist Johny Chow(Fireball Ministry) and lead guitarist Mark Rizzo (Soulfly) have a chance to show off how touring behind the first Cavalera Conspiracy album gelled things as a band. Max's riffs are as jagged edged, authentic and deliberate as they've been for decades and his lyrics match them in turn as he screams about historical warriors in "Genghis Khan" and a very hard-to-kill Russian in "Rasputin." The album's opener, "Warlord" (which festival audiences got to hear last year), is an immediate call to metal arms. "Because we had a band that had already played together for so long we were really tight and we really knew where we were going with this album," Max reports. "We just blasted song after song everyday in the studio." Cavalera Conspiracy was created following a decade long silence between Max and Iggor, the two brothers who formed the legendarily trailblazing heavy metal band Sepultura as teenagers together in 1984. Across six studio albums the Brazilian punishers perfected the art of darkness (look no further than thrash classics like Beneath the Remains and Arise) while exploring the underbelly of third world political issues and broadening the genre's horizons with an exploration of indigenous culture, culminating with the landmark Roots album in 1996. http://www.thepalladiumbal |
