DANTE XXI Under-rated Sepultura album
Wow, love it more now than I did back then. Had a copy from SPV of the 2006 release "Dante XXI" by the legends Sepultura on my desk and decided to pop in again. Trax like "City of Dis", "False", are screaming for that sound system to blast these monster trax. The string section in "Ostia" brings visions of Gandalf and Aragon paying a visit to the King's castle in Minus Tirith in Lord of Rings!.


Well worth the price. BUY IT.
I have been an "on and off" Sepultura fan over the years, usually getting my albums from Brazilian friends before they are released in the USA. I have to say I was skeptical about this album. I have to say, this is one of the BEST metal albums ever made. I was breathless after listening to it. Sepultura are some of the most talented musicians around, and if you are into metal, this is a MUST OWN. .


love this album

even if you did not like the last 3 albums i think this will blow you away. this is one of the best sepultura albums i have ever heard.

VOCALIST MUST GO!!!!
You want good heavy album that does stand out get SOULFLY "Dark Ages". Is it that hard to find good vocalist? This guys sucks donkey balls, plus all this hype went into this cd but it's one boring cd with 3/4 unecessary intro's.


Another step forward for the mighty Sepultura!


It's surprising that people can't get over the fact that Max Cavalera left a whole decade ago. Dante XXI

What a fantastic album! A huge achievement by a band that continues to produce excellent music despite a huge amount of criticism from fans of Cavalera-era Sepultura. Since then Sep have moved on and I doubt they would have made Dante XXI had Max still been at the helm. Frankly, bands should be applauded for pushing the boundaries of themselves and their fans. If you follow a band, it's sometimes worth having a little faith in them, I feel. I guess we fall in love with a band after hearing a couple of albums and that those albums become the band. But the band themselves have a totally different perspective! The music they produce is a product of the dynamics of the members of the band, their abilities, relative strengths, experience, musical preferences etcetera. All of these factors can change over time; indeed SHOULD change over time. Hence, aspects of Sep's music have changed also. How sad would it be to say that Sepultura had learnt nothing new in the last 10 years? That their music had been influenced by nothing that has happened to them? Why would anyone want them to keep copying the sound of their earlier work? Would you really want Sepultura to just regurgitate Arise and Chaos AD tracks? Wouldn't that just put them on a par with bands like Status Quo? How utterly tragic that would be.

When playing live, they play a huge number of older songs because they know we want to hear them too. So, if you want older stuff, don't expect it on a new album - go see them live. They're better live than on a disc any day!

Dante XXI is certainly more consistently thrashy than their other post-Cavalera output. (So, if you've been missing that aspect of Sepultura: here it is!) Green's vocals are awesome; there are terrific riffs and fantastic rhythm. It's hard to pick a favourite, but if pressed, I'd recommend you listen to 'Fighting On' - and turn it up VERY LOUD!

With Dante XXI, Sepultura continue to successfully broaden the musical boundaries of both themselves and their fans.

So, set aside your preconceptions and give this album a good listen - you'll love it.
