Go Ahead And Die

NUCLEAR BLAST Unique father-son death metal combo stick it to the pricks.

While some of us dreamed of forming a death metal group with our fathers, during 2020’s lockdown Igor Amadeus Cavalera made that a reality, recording an album with his dad, Soulfly’s Max Cavalera. They holed up in the Arizona desert and recorded 11 songs of chundering, classic death metal, no quarter given to dad, none asked by the old man either. Splitting vocals and guitar playing, they match each other riff for riff, growl for growl.

El Cuco is a breakneck broadside of toxic black tar, while Prophets Prey sounds like the last seconds of a black box recording. Apparently the lyrics lambast crooked cops, religious nuts and environmental wreckers but, given that crisp diction is not death metal’s forte, you’ll have to take their word for it. Suffice to say Worth

Less Than Piss is ideal catharsis for whatever’s getting your goat. ■■■■■■■■■■
