To say that Sepultura fans were saddened by the departure of Max Cavalera would be a gross understatement. Max's loyal following skeptically received Soulfly's debut while remaining Sepultura members forged ahead with a replacement vocalist. With PRIMITIVE, it's apparent that Cavalera's "new tribe" isn't a rebound side project. Max and company continue the brutal groovecore assault and stretch even further into experimental realms. The reggae-soaked breakdown in "Bring It" and bittersweet vocal harmonies in "Son Song" (featuring Sean Lennon) are surprises you'd be hard pressed to find on a Sepultura album. Fitting guest vocalists including Slipknot's Corey/#8 and Slayer's Tom Araya, who bring challenging contrasts to PRIMITIVE.
