I've never really got into Sepultura all that much. Can't really tell you why that is. But I saw they released a new album and out of boredom I decided to give this one a go. And dear God, wtf have I been missing? What resonated more for me were the lyrical content and their thrash and groove elements which are my favorite ways I like my metal to be. This album has turned out to be one of my favorites in a long time. It's fuckin dope.

Pra mim, do "Kairos" até o "Quadra" o Sepultura meio que refez o que foi o "Beneath the Remains" até o "Roots". Se for analisar tem até algumas similaridades, sendo o "Machine Messiah" um auge técnico como foi "Chaos AD" e o sucessor o que tornou o de maior sucesso, como foi "Roots" e agora com o "Quadra" colocando o Sepultura em voga ao redor do mundo, claro, tudo em devidas proporções do que era a cena da indústria musical dos 90s e como é hoje(outra época pro metal e a forma de consumir música)

Não me levem a mal, pra mim o Quadra começa do caralho, mas assim que as influências de Roots começam a dar as caras no álbum, eu entortei a cara na hora. Mas eu até consigo compreender, tantos anos fazendo o mesmo thrash pra cima e pra baixo deve cansar qualquer um, e eu queria ouvir só pedrada igual a faixa de abertura. É um baita disco, mas infelizmente não teve esse impacto todo comigo.

As a drummer I use to think Sepultura’s biggest draw for me was Igor’s drums, but after he left I realized the most important part of Sepultura was Andreas’ guitar riffs. Andreas is always pushing himself further and further to create new things. Even on the albums like Nation and Dante I may not have always liked the songs but I was glad he was playing new things. During the DERRICK era I really liked Against, Roorback for its groove metal vibe, Alex for it’s concept and structure. Now these last few albums have taken their sound to a new place. From Scizophrenia to Roots to Against to now I’ve been really happy with their output.

I remember your Machine Messiah review, where you said it was a good album that really forecasted an even better album next time around (paraphrasing.) I think you nailed it Sam. Excited for this new Sepultura album, sounds their best since Chaos AD so far.

Besides meaning "sports court", "quadra" in portuguease also means "set of four". So the title also has to do with de 40th anniversary of the band, the 4 current member, and - as Sean pointed out - the four sides of the album.

Guardians of Earth is probably one of my most played tracks since the release, it's just fantastic in every sense. From the acoustic intro into a fucking heavy part and there when you least expect it you get into a pirate vibe and then into the solo and then back into the full on metal again. The choir does its part as well. A big surprise for me. Even though the whole album is brilliant that one song is what gets me going. :)

Sepultura have been a prog band since Dante (not on Kairos though), I would say. I guess that’s one of the reasons Igor left. All these strings parts started there as well.

I wouldn't call it "prog", but they really started getting more technical since "Dante" and "A-Lex" was the definitive proof of it. "A-Lex" also had a kind of progressive structure (despite not being a Prog Metal record) and 4 parts ("acts"), showing all styles the band played up until that point. Since that record they have been improving on these ideas, and in many ways "Quadra" feels like the point where they essentially perfected them.

In my opinion Sepultura is THE best heavy metal band in the world right now and Eloy Casagrande is THE #1 drummer. His playing is extremely technical, physical, powerful, explosive and dynamic. Andreas Kisser is an exceptional guitarist and his work on Quadra is probably his best work so far. Paulo Jr. is an old school bassist who just seem to get better and better. Derrick Green is in his top vocal form here and has proved persistence is key to success. The Brazilian band have made their name in creativity and Quadra is no exception, this time with symphonics, a better production and a bigger sound than ever.These four guys deserve all the respect for keeping and improving the Cavalera legacy. RESPECT!

I think Sepultura is showcasing ‘SEPULTURA’s evolution. Andreas’s genius throughout the years. I saw Sepultura when I was 18 yrs old. Tinley Park Ill. 1994 Pantera/Sepultura. Fucking awesome!!! They were amazing. That passion did not end when Max left. The spark was still there. 🤘🏽Sepultura forever. Andreas is an awesome musician. Heart and Soul. You can’t lie about your heart. Andreas♥️. Great job. Love your work!

For me, it was the opposite. In Brazil, people have loved Sepultura since mid 80s. I never saw anything special on their music. I always saw them much below the second wave of thrash bands like, for instance, Death Angel or even Forbidden. Also, their lyric content has always been like an empty vessel, though that is a problem with most of the rock/metal bands. Now, they have a great vocalist and drummer, but that is not enough to make me get into the band.

Loved Seppers in the 90's, wasn't keen on Roots, but the bands last few albums going in a proggish direction dragged me in. Loving the progression of their song writing (pun intended).

The best review ever! I´m a huge fan of you. I´m a Sepultura fan since ever... QUADRA is awesome. I can´t wait to see how it sounds LIVE. I need a concert I need to hear QUADRA alive.

This album definitely surprised me after several lackluster releases from them in the last few cycles. I loved their old albums... and I honestly enjoyed Green's first albums with the band as well. Nation and Roorback are actually 2 of my favorite albums from Sepultura in general, so the fact that this album goes back to that "melodic thrash" style... along with some fresh nuances (orchestras, choirs, and progressive moments), has really helped them to put out a monstrous release. I wouldn't be against calling it one of the best modern metal albums in quite some time.

Listened to it this morning thought it was great. Also, not huge fan of instrumentals but Pentagram really stuck out.

The drummer of my band is the current drumtech for Eloy now, and he constantly says that he looks like totally another person behind the kit, as if he was possessed. And, Quadra can also refer to the number four.

Andreas has been crushing it lately!!! Last 3 records he’s been AMAZING!!!!!!

This is a great album! I've seen these guys live three times and they are absolutely epic

Im reeeally proud to see one of the bests brazilians bands of all time here in BTV. Ill love to see a review of metal bands in Brazil these days!! Greetings from here! :D

Sepultura is a taste I acquired during the pandemic lockdown. The conceptual meaning behind Quadra (Latin): quatro (Portuguese, Spanish) = 4 (four). Guitarist Andreas Kisser explained that the concept of the album is based on Quadrivium, which are the four subjects or arts (namely arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy) taught after teaching the trivium. (wikipedia) Based on this, the band divided the 12-track album into four sections of three songs each. The first being thrash metal songs, based on the classic Sepultura sound. The second section is inspired by the groove-percussion oriented sound the band explored in Roots. The third part has more progressive songs (…), but it’s not all instrumental tracks. Side four features slow-paced and melodic tracks. (wikipedia) Quadra is a concept album 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. (allmusic)

Thanks Sam, I'm just about to dive in. As a fan from back in the "Beneath" and "Chaos" days, I'm really looking forward to this. Cheers \m/

good to see and hear my south American metal roots sepultura with a new album really and honestly haven't heard sepultura old school sepultura since arise 20 years ago

Even if Max is not in the band this album still kicks ass

Great review!!!!!!!! Let’s go SEPULTURA

Salutes from the Metal land. Minas Gerais- Brasil

Another great review by Sam! Absolutely on point, great argumentation and very interesting reads on the whole album.

It sounds amazing, incredibly technical and gripping, but It will take me a while to get into it because I find some songs from the last two albums more memorable ( manipulation of tragedy and sworn oath), the overall sound of the album is stronger though.

Em tempos de ascenção fascista e de lambeção a um sistema preisional privado, o sepultura abre o disco com uma canção que critica o tal sistema prisional, isso é sepulturaaaa🇧🇷

quadra - comes from 4 (like quadrivium) sides, a square. a slot. in brazil it's a city block or a spots field.

I bought my CD here in Brazil!!!! The biggest brazilian band!

This is exactly what I was thinking of this record!! I'd give it 4,5 stars though. Also, you should have mentioned Casagrande's drumming. The guy is amazing and I think he's part of the reason why this band is having a renaissance. Btw.. what does Zorgdrager think about the 3th and 4th part of the album. I bet he hates it! :p

Nice you review the vinyl, explaining each side of the two records.

Man, álbum absolutely amazing! Unreal!
