    Soulfly return to form after their last two efforts left little to be desired. The approach this time is a more progressive, sometimes more psychedelic one, that when paired with Soulfly's trademark thrash/groove/tribal/world music sound sends forth an unrelenting behemoth of an album.

    With cameos by Napalm Death's Mitch Harris and Clutch's Neil Fallon to name but a few Savages boats a lot more diversity and momentum shifts than their more recent past efforts (and unsurprisingly most modern metal albums of late) have.

    Whether you are a fan of the genre or a fan of Max Cavalera's work, or you crave a little more diversity and originality from your thrash/groove metal bands, this album is definitely worth a listen.

    Too many songs utilise the same plodding, mid-paced grooves and simple, one-line refrains. [5 Oct 2013, p.54]

    This is a welcome blast from an uncompromising band. [Nov 2013, p.93]

    Savages is a feisty record that returns to the familiar blend of hardcore, thrash and groove metal.
