This album is full of great riffs, great beats, tribal rhythms and the best screamer known to man spilling bile over 11 (one's an instrumental).

They emerged as a major name in the early 1990s on Roadrunner Records, alongside Machine Head and Fear Factory, thus pre-dating the appearance of nu-metal, though they were arguably an important influence on that genre and bridge with the ‘old school’. Their 1996 album ‘Roots’ is widely regarded as one of the seminal metal albums of the 1990s, blending Brazilian tribal influences and thrash metal to surprisingly good and varied effect. Shortly after ‘Roots’, however, they split up. Lead singer Max ...
