Sepultura were on a creative high here, bringing all sorts of new tribal and third world elements into their sound - something Max still does to this day with his new band Soulfly. The band took a big chance with this record, as it was vastly different from the more traditional metal heard on Chaos A.D. This one owed more to the “nu” school with its fat, down-tuned Korn style riffs. Producer Ross Robinson was the perfect man to helm the sessions as he knows no rules and really got the band's creative juices flowing. While it alienated some core Sep fans and got some bad reviews when it first came out, it has come to be regarded as a groundbreaking classic. It certainly kept the band relevant sounding for many years to come. Besides featuring the bands all-time classic song “Roots Bloody Roots,” it has the most muscular and beefy mix ever to be found on a metal record, and even on an Andy Wallace record. The pummeling, bass-heavy (in a good way) mix just adds to the power of the material.
