Best Songs from Soulfly's Savages

Savages is the ninth studio album by Soulfly. It was recorded in May and June of 2013 and was released on September 30, 2013, through Nuclear Blast Records. The album is the first to feature drummer Zyon Cavalera, frontman Max's son, in a full-time capacity after the departure of David Kinkade in 2012.

"Bloodshed" is the first of three singles released from the album. This song plays at mid-tempo and contains minimal tribal influences.

"El Comegente" features Portuguese and Spanish lyrics about the 1990s Venezuelan serial killer and cannibal Dorángel Vargas, who is known as "El Comegente," Spanish for "people eater." Tony Campos is featured as vocalist while playing bass. The closing section has a Led Zeppelin-like acoustic bass solo, and Marc Rizzo calls this part "Mars Part Two."

"Master of Savagery" is the quasi-title track and the second single from the album. It contains grooves similar to earlier Soulfly albums and is followed by a bass solo.

"Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla" has Pantera-like grooves with clean vocals by Neil Fallon.

"Fallen" begins with an acoustic guitar, then thrashy riffs, followed by monster-like growls from guest Jamie Hanks.

"Cannibal Holocaust" is a speedy song that speaks about the destruction of humanity due to cannibalism.

As with previous albums, this album contains a sequel to the song "Soulfly," with this one being the ninth, stylized in Roman numerals. However, this time it is included as a bonus track, just like on the previous album and the one that followed.
