The Review:
Aggressive and powerful, Go Ahead And Die strikes out to create something of its own in the face of expectations. The illustrious history of the band’s father-son duo of Max and Igor-Amadeaus Cavalera will surely pique the interest in fans hearing of the band for the first time and color the expectations of listeners awaiting their first taste of the beast.
The Self-Titled album features a viciously heavy blend of Death Metal and Thrash that is sure to delight fans of early Death Metal pioneers. The album does have a distinctly modern feel to it though, proving itself as more than a mere tribute act to the sound that came before it.
Igor cements himself here as a force to be reckoned with, taking center stage at various points of the album. There will be detractors claiming this to be a novelty project of Cavalera senior, but upon first listen, there is no doubt that Go Ahead And Die is the real deal. With the blistering speeds and memorable grooves present, this is one that can be listened to repeatedly.
I would be hard pressed to say that new ground is being broken here, but what is presented is just about as solid as it comes. I would highly recommend it to any fan of old school death metal and the heavier reaches of thrash. If nothing else, give this one a listen and quell your curiosity. I do not think you’ll regret it.
