Also Pantera - at Single Unleash, with guest post by Dave Peters ( Throwdown ) - or Metallica Hit the Lights are cited. In Blood Fire War Hate took over David Vincent of Morbid Angel guest vocals. Cavalera said to the musical direction: "After Cavalera Conspiracy, I wanted to write a stronger, uncompromised statement with Soulfly. What I [ did ] on this album is what I was aiming for. This is the Soulfly album that I've been trying to make for a long time. "
Reception
Ronny Bittner awarded in the magazine Rock Hard eight out of ten. He wrote, you hear " some of the tracks that they probably date from the same songwriting session as the material of Inflikted. However, this raises the question of why the songs are published under two band names, because the pieces could be in this form on the Cavalera Conspiracy 's debut. Although: not quite. Because in comparison to Inflikted few times pulls the song material Conquer but clearly the short straw, and it also has some not so positive numbers on board. Inflikted shows, however, often original, intoxicating and more compact. "
