4.0 out of 5 stars Very early Sepultura you have to hear to believe, April 17, 2005

This review is from: Morbid Visions/Bestial Devastation (Audio CD)

Before "Schizophrenia", "Beneath the Remains", or "Arise", Sepultura was an angry and determined Brazilian band looking to get noticed, which they did with "Morbid Visions". This is Sepultura playing heavily Venom-influenced black metal that features all the imagry you'd expect from an old Slayer album, and it must be heard to be believed. The production is beyond shoddy, and the musicianship is hardly as accomplished as it would be on later albums, but the seething attitude and demonic imagry is worth the price of admission alone. Songs like "Troops of Doom", "Crucifixion", "Antichrist", and "Necromancer" are simple and unapologetic, and it's hard to believe that those songs were written by Max Cavalera; the same guy who has done countless material "dedicated to God" on his Soulfly albums. New Sepultura fans may want to check this out after hearing "Beneath the Remains", "Arise", or "Chaos A.D.", while older fans who have never heard this deserve to pick it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real classic, no doubt, May 31, 2004

Every Sepultura fan should own this album. It's a true classic despite the bad production. Max Cavelera's vocals, and the fast paced guitars on here will drive you insane. The echoing drums are really good especially on Morbid Visions and War. The Bestial Devastation EP which is also on here has better prodution. It also includes a remake of the song Antichrist turned Anitcop which was recorded live at some time earlier in the bands career. All in all, a must have for anyone who loves moshing and headbanging. Sepultura rules.
