Album Review: Sepultura - The Mediator Between The Head And The Hands Must Be The Heart

The undisputed kings of South American metal have released an LP with a title that sounds more emo band name than thrash album; does this mean Sepultura are mellowing with age? Not really, but this album is a departure from the colossal riffery of previous efforts. Grittier and sounding more like their first few albums in terms of sloppy production value, the intentions may have been noble in an up-yours punk ethos kind of way, but unfortunately the riffs are instantly forgettable.
