Without question, 1998’s Soulfly further explored the South American rhythmic bombast of Roots, Max Cavalera’s last album with the legendary Sepultura. But the metal icon likewise marched to the beat of his own drum on his next band’s self-titled full-length debut.

Cavalera’s heavy whims explored the detuned depths of the developing nu-metal movement. He transmogrified the Brazilian samba-funk sound of Jorge Ben Jor’s “Umbabarauma” into a rap-metal curio. He even went to-to-toe with guest vocalists like Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, Deftones’ Chino Moreno and more. A massive first album from a groove-intensified metal veteran
