The first re-release of the fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary Brazilian Groove/Thrash Metal band.
A concept album based on numerology, the number four and its significance as depicted on Quadrivium.
Sepultura has "enjoyed" a very spotty reputation among fans since the late 1990s, when founding vocalist Max Cavalera left and was replaced by Derrick Green. After all, their first six albums (especially the trilogy that began with "Schizophrenia" and ended with 1991's "Chaos A.D.") are universally regarded as definitive Thrash Metal offerings. Later outings were saturated in Groove Metal or so experimental listeners had a tough time hanging on. But Sepultura issued some fine records during the Green era, including "The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart" (2013) and "Machine Messiah" (2017), which are both fine records in their own rights.
"Quadra", like its 2017 predecessor, expresses the delineated nature of society and the power of money. The album is so titled because its 12 songs are divided into four groups of three songs each. Each grouping showcases a different aspect of the band's musical persona. Exquisitely produced by Jens Bogren, its first section offers the band at its most aggressive in a short set of Thrash Metal. The second quarter of "Quadra" hearkens back to more rhythmic, Groove-Metal-oriented albums such as 1996's "Roots". Andreas Kisser's nylon-string guitar playing introduces “Guardians of the Earth”, before a layered choir begins chanting in the backdrop as a precursor to the first verse. This is Sepultura at their most Experimental and Progressive, born out by the knotty scalar inventions on "The Pentagram" and the detuned roil and burn power riffs on "Autem". Introduced by the brief interlude of a title track, the final section pursues more melodic, less aggressive Prog Metal. It features gorgeously layered acoustic and electric guitars, ghostly female vocals, and even elements of Symphonic Metal. Choirs, synth strings, and Jazz syncopation - all these you can find here.
"Quadra" is Sepultura's first album to actually stand on equal qualitative footing with their classic trilogy. It offers a series of tough, meaty, adventurous songs, that abundantly indulge raw power and emotion. Bogren's production and Sepultura's execution are in perfect balance. Further, Green delivers a career-defining performance here. It is the first Sepultura album in decades to measure favourably alongside the band’s classic output.
The album is the band's most successful record since 1998's "Against", charting in 17 countries and entering the top 20 in seven countries (eight, considering the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart). It is also their most successful album in Germany and Switzerland to date, exceeding the chart positions of "Roots" (1996), with positions number five and number 13, respectively.
The website Collector's Room included "Quadra" on the top 50 Brazilian Metal albums of all time. Metal Hammer Magazine named it the 30th best Metal album of 2020. At the 2020 Metal Storm Awards, the album won a Metal Storm Award for Best Thrash Metal Album.
