Roadrunner Records TOP 10 of 2008

Max Cavalera, Soulfly; Cavalera Conspiracy; Sepultura

Bad Brains - Build a Nation

Killer Bad Brains shit with a mix vibe of quickness and I against I.
Disfear - Live the Storm

Awesome technical metal with great guitar licks.
Gojira - The Way of All Flesh

A really good Gojira album with Logan Mader's killer sound, and kind of a Roots guitar vibe.
Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punks

East European kings of punk with gypsy influence.
Turbo Trio - Turbo Trio

The Brasilian Prodigy, Portuguese lyrics about violence, an a musical vibe of "City of God."
Incite - Divided We Fail

Incites EP is really a leap forward musically, and Richies vocals are kick ass.
Agnostic Front - Warriors

One of the best hardcore releases of the year. A.F. is going strong after more then 2 decades. Much respect.
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God

Killer heavy shit with a Nordic vibe, kinda like old Bathory. Awesome winter music.
Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Insect Warfare

Grind core to fuck shit up, enough said.
Hirax - The New Age of Terror

Classic thrash metal from Katon de Peua and gang, check out Unleash the Dogs of War.

MAX IS GOD. 2 of the best, most amazing albums of all time (Inflikted, Conquer) released in one year? Beat that motherfuckers. You can't.

Gypsy Punks came out in 2005. No fact-checking?

He needs to expand his vocabulary and descriptive skills

awesome list from Max; an especially good mention on Disfear and Agoraphobic Nosebleed! i wonder if he's really doing the collaboration with eugene hutz from gogol bordello that was rumored...

Bad Brains is the best band ever and Build A Nation is a fantastic album. I'm not a Max fan, but I sure have a new respect for the man for putting this at #1.

Exactly what I expected to see in a list from Max. All the sounds that come through in everything he does. This is why even when I don't like what he does, I still respect the guy so much. He wears his influences on his sleeve. Great list. Anyone who still gives a damn about Bad Brains and Agnostic Front clearly has their head on straight.

Max knows what he's talking about.he does not limit himself to just one type of musical style. ut many

Hahaha this is why I love Max!

Damn, I need to borrow Max's iPod. 'Build A Nation' is Masterful. HR, Daryl, Dr. Know and Earl (HR's bro) have been doing this for YEARS. Some of these bands were not even BORN yet. Max Rules

Hirax - The new age of terror is an album from 2004!

Posted by Dan on 1/9/2009 @ 1:48:16 AM
