A review by
Azhidahak March 28, 2005
Oh no don't worry, I haven't started my review yet. I was just thinking how a radio commercial of this album would sound like. Actually, perhaps that was also what the band was thinking when they were recording this, and also their previous, album.
Some reviewers like to say that they are influenced by Soulfly and/or Sepultura, but personally I would rather say that they are Soulfly worshippers. I can imagine the band members having Soulfly posters all over their walls just like teenage girls worship Britney Spears and sing along with her songs in the bathroom. I'm sure that if Max knew about this he would try and get a copyright for his music. But wait, who am I kidding? I bet he has received tons of fan-mail from Zoltan (Ektomorf´s vocalist) anyway.
But now let's stop bashing the poor guys and have a look at the album instead. The new album is pretty much in the same vein as their previous one: Destroy. Nu-metal anger and emotion is combined with thrash metal sound-alike guitars with an almost punk attitude. The vocals are simply a Max Cavalera clone and it's more difficult to tell the difference between the two vocals than counting Bill Gates money. The album also have some oriental melodies which pops up every now and then in a couple of songs. And this seems to be pretty much the thing that has dragged the attention of many people to their music. Though I personally can't see what is so great about that, but I can see this as the one argument that the fans of this band have to assert themselves against those who dislike this band and calls them a Soulfly rip-off.

Unfortunaly I have to agree with the rate and the review -_-' Damn, I kinda liked ''Kalyi Jag'' and ''Destroy'', even actually being Soulfly's rip-offs, the folkloric and gypsy elements (despite very few) were in evidence. This one is pure shit, just one acoustic interlude in the middle of ONE song and they already claim folk influences... this album is useless. Another thing.. the lyrics are one of the worst things ever, shit shit shit, pure shit..
