Just what Sepultura needed - the backing of more than a dozen mad French percussionists playing oil drums and yet this is exactly what they've done for the new live album Metal Veins


Les Tambours du Bronx add even more tribalism to the Brazillian brand of thrash metal... In places it's utter chaos but in others inspired. Refuse/Resist and Fever work spectacularly well - This is clearly the sound of the worlds angriest samba band


The live version of the Prodigy's Firestarter  is quite, quite surreal and the big finale of Roots Bloody Roots is fantastic


Sepultura are a band I've dipped in and out of throughout their 20 odd year career but with this they still show they have the ability to surprise
