Original or not, the album brings a masterful sound.

Earlier this year Max and Iggor Cavalera announced they are now entering the final chapter of their early days trilogy with a revisit of Sepultura’s Schizophrenia. The album marked the point where they refined Sepultura’s dark, speed-influenced songs, into something a bit more mature, developed and technical. And now, the Cavalera brothers are gearing up for the release of Schizophrenia (Re-Recorded), released on June 21 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Kicking things off is the short tune “Schizophrenia” which opens with a foreboding sizzling instrumentation. Followed by “From The Past Comes The Storm,” which features a harder guitar, shaking the background with thrilling riffs and a guitar solo that dazzles the mind.

“Escape to the Void” is another ditty that brings back Sepultura’s metal vibe. What is amazing about this composition is how each drumbeat contributes to the insanity Sepultura is known for. The dynamic drum playing keeps the music alive before switching to an earth-shattering drum solo that blends in with the wickedness that is the void.

“Septic Schizo” is a ditty that shows how dedicated and just how much Max and Iggor Cavalera care about their musicianship. What is stunning about this piece is the vocal performance because the sound of authority can be felt through each vocal pitch. The original “Septic Schizo” is great, but the vocals on the re-recording speak louder thanks to the masterful vocal performance.

“Nightmares of Delirium” ends the album on a high note, the instrumentation and vocal performance bring an extra dose of craziness. While listening, the sounds of the thrillingly stunning guitar and drum playing fill the air with pure metal sound while the vocal performance sears the air with jolting madness. 

Max and Iggor Cavalera’s take on Schizophrenia (Re-Recorded) shows how Sepultura’s music is alive in the Cavalera’s hearts despite how both brothers are not a part of the band anymore. The re-recordings may not be the originals but the metal music does speak louder and bolder on Schizophrenia (Re-Recorded).
