Sepultura, the Brazilian band that invented death metal (Necromancer, 1985) is extremelly well represented here by other great heavy metal bands. I will comment a little each song of the album, as this masterpiece deserves this kind of attention.

1 - The Cruise/Antichrist (by Sacramentum): great speedy song, really heavy, really dark lyrics, as it should be. Great start of a HEAVY album.
2 - Necromancer (by Deathwitch): played a little faster than the original song, which makes it even heavier. A "monstrous" voice and screams adds for the death metal spirit. Fantastic.
3 - Warriors of Death (by Mystifier): probably the best song in this album, this new version is extremelly well made and very, very dark. VERY powerfull voice throughout the song, with an amazing brief stop in the middle, ending with and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING duet between a monster voice and a very ghostly opera singer-like voice. Makes you want to break everything, if you know what I mean.
4 - Warriors of Death (by Swormaster): a different version from the same song. While it's good and heavy, it's not par to the version by Mystifier. It's played faster though.
5 - Troops of Doom (by Dimension Zero): this death metal anthem is played with maestry. Lots of monstrous screams, heavy and fast where it should be.
6 - Crucifixion (by Lord Belial): a nonstop heavy and fast song.
7 - Beneath the Remains (by Defleshed): another anthem played extremelly. Very, very heavy.
8 - Inner Self (by Impious): "walking these dirty streets, with hate in my mind...", this is exactly what this version passes on. Amazing song played amazingly well. Second best IMO after Warriors of Death.
9 - Mass Hypnosis (by Children of Bodom): great voice, great guitars, heavy and fast... what can I say, go listen to it!
10 - Arise (by The Crown): Holly s$hit! Listen to the start of this song! If you don't feel like breaking everything around you you're not a true metal fan!!! "Under a pale grey sky, we shall ariiiiiseee !!!!"
11 - Territory (by Exhumation): the classisc of the classics, played with great power, lots of drums, HEAVY guitar. A great song made even better. Did I mention HEAVY guitar ??
12 - Slave new world (by Gooseflesh): much heavier version than the original, amazing.
13 - Roots Bloody Roots (by Slavestate): nice version, heavier guitar and vocals.
14 - Cut-Throat (by Gardenian): pretty good version, but really the death metal phase of Sepultura has ended by now.
15 - Ratamahatta (by Denial): heavier, crazier version of the original. Not death metal, but still nice.

If you are a heavy metal fan this album is a must buy, believe me, you won't regret. All your favorite Sepultura songs played even heavier.

When i first saw this i thought it would be another tribute album that doesnt match up with the Dwell Records tribute release. I was Wrong! i love this cd from start to finish! i would have to say it really equals up to World of Pain (if you dont own it get it now!) i really like the track by Children of Bodom(great melodic black metal, check them out!)i still like every track on here equaly and i encourage any Sepultura fan buy this baby now! also , all the song are in order cd-wise, its prety cool.
