I believe that the Cavalera brothers have valid reasons for revisiting the entire historical repertoire. Ultimately, you are the artist, and the saying holds true I made you, and I undo you. As could be ascertained in 2023, the remake of Morbid Visions it wasn’t even a disaster, and we all imagined a disaster. In fact, we took it for granted. Max and Igor have a suspicious problem with their adolescence, so much so that they want to give it a shape revised and corrected to records that immaturity and limited financial resources at the time had not allowed to be made otherwise. Or Max and Igor Cavalera don’t have a shred of ideas to bring to the studio beyond the cumbersome ones Soulflywhere the drummer is Zyon Cavalera, Max’s son. And then they feed us remakes as if we were really interested.
Who is it intended for? Schizophrenia 2.0? Are today’s kids so fussy that they want to remove that wonderful background hiss that characterized it? Escape to the Void it’s the first single released, they didn’t change it as they did at the time Troops of Doom distorting the central part. They did roughly the same as with Morbid Visions in the 2023 edition.
The entire album will be released on June 21st with the help of Travis Stone from Pig Destroyer on guitar and Arthur Rizk on production, now a guarantee for those who nowadays intend to record thrash metal with a good result. The cover has been revised for the occasion and is signed by Eliran Kantor: an excellent contribution from him.
Touch Schizophrenia to the undersigned it is risky: It’s one of my five favorite albums of all time and in the past I dedicated it to him a very heartfelt article. I think straight away: they will do a good job probably intended only for themselves and for someone who can’t tolerate the low-fi recordings of the time. I think like an old man: certain things shouldn’t be touched. Morbid Visions it was important, but not perfect as it was. Schizophrenia it is. Now I want to see you re-record Beneath the Remains and look like shit with a capital F. And maybe Arise. (Marco Belardi)
