Soulfly – Omen

SOULFLY – OMEN

Roadrunner

18th May 2010

Soulfly are back on form! Omen is awesome right from the beginning with Bloodbath & Beyond. The first single featuring Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Rise Of The Fallen is Soulfly’s best track for years. It’s modern yet still that classic sound from the longest line up of the band, half way through the song breaks down until the end with various drums beat variations. Great Depression and Kingdom are great examples from Omen and two favourites of mine, Jeffrey Dahmer – though short and sweet about the american serial murderer, and Mega-Doom. Be sure to check out Lethal Injection featuring Tommy Victor of Prong and the thrashy Vulture Culture. And of course, the album would not be complete without the latest instalment of the instrumental self titled series of tracks – Soulfly VII.

Fans of Soulfly from any period will love this album and as usual is available in the extended digi pack edition. One of my favourite albums of 2010.
