HEAR ABOUT MUSIC FROM A LEGENDARY PRODUCER - 8.7.2008
WFLM Radio & TheVM Undergroud show finally got to speak with legendary death metal producer Scott Burns. They discuss the past and what he's doing now. Scott worked with many great death metal bands in the late 80's and 90's such as Sepultura, Malevolent Creation, Gorguts, Deicide, Obituary and much more.
That's right Soulfly tribe followers, Conquer, has been reviewed by metal webzine Pivotal Alliance.
"Who would have thought that by the end of summer of 2008 we'd have not one but two Max Cavalera recordings. Of course the first being the album Inflikted with his brother Iggor and the Cavalera Conspiracy and the hot off the presses Soulfly's Conquer. As expected, like with previous Soulfly efforts there are guests featured on Conquer."
