Sepultura - Machine Messiah (40th Anniversary Edition) - Red Ruby Marble

Celebrating the band's 40th anniversary Nuclear Blast is excited to reissue Machine Messiah, the 14th studio album from Sepultura. Ranging from the stately menace of the slow-burning title track and the heads-down fury of classic thrasher "I Am The Enemy" to the esoteric percussive riot of "Phantom Self" and the monstrous dark metal behemoth of "Sworn Oath", Machine Messiah strikes an exquisite balance between delivering the goods and veering joyously off-piste. An album of meticulously crafted songs, but also of jaw-dropping individual moments, it reaches an epic and invigorating crescendo with the glowering, nightmarish "Cyber God", as one of Kisser's finest ever solos spirals, soars and fades to black. A towering achievement and a bona fide team effort, Machine Messiah may just be the finest Sepultura album yet. 180g, Gatefold, Ruby Red Marble
