Imagine having created something when you were 16 that you can still be proud of in your late 50s.

Wish Sam did more of the reviews on this channel. By far the best reviewer at Banger.

I feel like we haven't seen Sam in ages! Always great to see him!

People outside Brazil have no idea how crazy it was to see a band called Sepultura with that kind of artwork in the stores back in the day. These records really stood the test of time and I'm so happy to see people celebrating the re-recordings, the Cavalera brothers paved the way for heavy music in this country. And those cassetes, that's og stuff man, we used to memorize even the hisses and cracking from those worn out tapes

It's pretty incredible how good Max still sounds. His voice is still amazing.

The new Morbid Visions album cover is one of the best album covers in metal history! So morbid, so scary, and so devastatingly powerful in its message 🤘🏼

As a fellow fan who remembers hearing those tapes for the first time, I’m disappointed you didn’t give us an A/B comparison of a particular riff or section that stood out to you. Looking forward to hearing for myself and seeing them live next month!

Amazing re-releases Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions 2023! Cavalera Brothers from Brasil 🤘🏻🔰🇧🇷🔰🔥🎸

Agreed, these turned out killer. Original Morbid Visions is more raw, black metal sounding, new one is more death/thrash. Love seeing those original tapes.

Would love it if Carcass redid Reek of Putrification. I know they did some for the Peel Sessions but a totally new recording with today's production, perfection.

It’s like hearing the songs for the first time. I absolutely love this. Long live the Cavalera brothers!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

It is so good to have Sam back. Please do more reviews!

Usually rerecording albums is a terrible idea, but these two really needed a clean-up. This album sounds fantastic! It actually makes you realise how pioneering and heavy those songs were for the time. Also, fun fact for Sam: Slaughter Lord included Aussie comedian Steve Hughes on drums. He's a big metal buff.

It is awesome that these albums are still being celebrated in 2023. I bought this as a double album cd when I was a teenager in the 90s. There were less bands and albums then, but the albums you owned you played hundreds of times. The new recordings are well done and true to the originals.

That's amazing you still have the tapes and yes these rereleases are epic!! Sick artwork too

Thank you. This was great to watch.

Arthur Rizk really put his entire chest into the mixing and mastering of these albums while giving it some new life while keeping it somewhat raw

Id love for kreator to do a re recording of Pleasure to Kill. One of my favourite proto death metal releases.

Thank you Banger TV for reviewing this… didn’t expect this on the channel. love every note of these re-recordings… Really essential albums for extreme metal scene (imho)..

Opeth - Orchid and Morningrise 😮 I know it's blasphemy to say that for many fans and I agree that the originals have a nice quality of their own; that character and feel. BUT! More out of curiosity, I'd love to hear what they would sound like rerecorded with Steven Wilson production and fresh instruments/vocals🖤🤘

Very nice to see you Sam! True passion is really what I treasure in your reviews. Yes, I'm from back in the day of tape trading and I really connect with everything you just commented. 5 ou of 5 for your review on a 5 star Cavalera release(s)!!!

Schizophrenia is my allt-time favorite Sepul record. I hope they never redo that one, because it’s so perfect. Those background tribal drums just nail it !!!! These 2 records surely deserve the upgrade, i think i will order the vinyl, they will look great next to my originals.

It seems perfectly fair that the boss comes back to evaluate this big bad boy. You should come more often, Sam. Even that the whole crew is making a pretty decent job, we are missing the kind of content that probably only you are able to provide. I'm glad that the Cavaleras are doing their thing (condolences for them btw) and I'm also glad that Sepultura carries on as well. Legends, all of them. I'll hear this record only because I've watched this review. Peace

Great to see you Sam! It's been a minute brother. Looking forward to the announcements 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Always love the old school stories. Will definitely check the albums out!

Meat collection bro! Looking forward to listen to this! 🤘

Wow, this is the most entertaining review I've in a long time. Those tape trading days . . .

Awesome. Very well deserved 5/5. Including the redoing of the artwork. Very well done everything!! Can't wait for my copy in the mail.

Great review! And I must say, these re-recordings are super. Gotta love the Cavalera boys and their integrity and true passion for metal.

Welcome back, love from Brazil

Great review! I feel the same when listening to the original tapes to these new recordings. I'm glad they kept it with the same mood and feeling as 1985/86.

Man, a few years ago Max toured doing the Nailbomb album with his kids and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen. I’m hoping the Cavalera brother take these albums out on tour. Won’t be better then seeing Nailbomb but it will be awesome.

You’re really cool man, love this channel!!

awesome can't wait mine are coming in the next few days.

Thanks soiboi from BangerTV!

Ok Sam, it's time to see the cassette/ metal collection.

Good to see you back, Sam! I always thought that the production on *Atheist* ’s Piece of Time was not so hot: the low end was much better than the thin-tinny guitars on top. With the Jupiter production - now that would be something. But really I'm waiting to hear what *Voivod* have cooked up with their album of rerecordings, soon TBR. Different path taken there, these are reinterpretations of some deep cuts from their albums, but then this is Voivod, they’ve really got creativity to burn. \m/

Great to see Sam Missed you buddy🤘

love it man ordering them right away! takes you back!

Um dos melhores lançamentos do ano! Porrada demais!!

sick, I actually agree with everything said in this review, every single thing. been listening to sepulture since 91-92, and the Cavalera bros just did everything right on these re-recordings. can't stop listening, applause

Stuck on Bestial Devestation a week ago out of curiosity expecting to be disappointed and nearly went into Hulk mode...have been listening non stop since. I still have the tapes since when I was a kid but this is the way these songs were meant to be heard..utter savagery!

Max is Sepultura soul

I love seeing how happy these albums make you Samm

The only good re-recordings I’ve ever heard, and honestly, they might be better than the ogs because it retains everything that made the ogs memorable but with a better recording. Even the new artworks are fresh while keeping the spirit of the ogs intact. These re-recordings are a fucking beautifully perfect tribute.

Totally agree, rare case of re-recording where it really comes out awesome!

Awesome re-recordings! I would be very happy when Dark Angel would call Arthur Rizk to give Leave Scars the same treatment!

Good to see You Sam I hope You doing well!, Will give them both a spin at some point it's Sepultura with Max after all 😎 Also Evile - The Unknown is out today 🤘

Did not know this was being rereleased until I saw the thumbnail of this video, sounds totally sick. Love to see the OG tapes!

This was honestly way better than expected. They kept all of the speed and the barbaric aggression intact through these records, very impressive

Love the sound of these! As for which should be redone: Kreator Endless Pain with 2023 production would be an absolute banger. I mean, it's already a banger of an album, but...

Welcome back, you guys NEED to review the new VoidCeremony.

Nice you again, Sam! I am going to Iron Maiden in Calgary September 28!!! Yaaaaaaay!

These new Re-Recordings sounds fuckin Killer! 🤘

Another solid Arthur Rizk production.

So excited for this. The original albums introduced me to death metal The Cavalera's were many of our gateway drug to greater things

Agreed. Great recordings

YES I'm happy with that rating. I'll run out and buy those CDs soon.

Ultra hails to Arthur Rizk for a superb job on the production. Dude has set a name for himself in the metal underground when it comes to production. Everything he touches turns to gold! 🔥🤘🏼

Fuck yeah, absolutely! I cant wait to buy these. I heard them on Spotify and KZfaq yesterday. They captured the spirit of it, so it's all in there, its like going back to an old place you remember like a blur, but you go back now and its clearer

Hails. Going to get these releases definitely. Max and Igor are gods and they've proven it. My song of choice is Empire Of The Damned. Also, the blast beats on Antichrist totally destroy. As for always that deserve the modern treatment: Cannibal Corpse: Tomb of the mutilated Deicide: Legion Morbid Angel: Alters Of Madness Malevolent Creation: Stillborn Hail, Sam and Banger TV. You rule.

Normally I'm against re-recording classic albums on principle (Comalies and Clayman come to mind). But where those albums came off as an unnecessary rehash like the '98 Psycho remake, this came out like a big-time director revisiting an old short that they now have the resources to fully realize.

So impressed by this! Sepultura have ALWAYS been among the best. True pioneers, originators, & trail blazers. Love the idea to re-record these eternal classics, and, as Sam said, they totally nailed it!

A good review! I would really like Kreator to re-record Pleasure To Kill... Always wondered how it would sound reodrded and mixed in the style of Extreme Aggression for eaxmple... But anyway, the original recording has its own charm, which I love as well, no doubt about it 🙂

Sam, have you and the others at BangerTV ever considered doing a book. Maybe if the essential albums or a book of reviews of metal albums. Or an adaptation of your doc?

Remarkable releases!!

Great comments!!!!!!!!!

Wow, looks like that tape not only has Sepultura but also an Incubus (now known as Opprobrium) '84 demo. Amazing!

Ok, as quite a few people here have gone for Kreator’s Endless Pain (which I totally agree with) and Onslaught’s Power From Hell (again agreed), I would love to hear Sabbat’s History Of A Time To Come reimagined.

just saw Cavalera in Dallas Friday night. Awesome show! Do yourself a favor, if your a metal head, and DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW !!!!I've seen Sepultura many times, 1st time being 1991 I think, and this may have been my favorite so far. Max fukn killed it !!! In the best way possible!

I was so stoked they did this. I remember finding those original tapes in a bargain bin shortly after I'd first fell in love with Beneath the Remains on Headbangers Ball. I wasn't even sure it was the same band the recordings were so raw. But yea they really do justice to the songs and the writing.

I have the old and original Morbid Visions/Bestial Devastation CD. It is a classic, I still like it despite the poor production, but it shows their passion for heavy and intense metal when Sepultura were still teens at that time. For this re-recorded piece, it's actually impressive, awesome, intense, and heavy. Both are awesome.

What a release ❤

Love seeing and hearing from Sam! Bring back Brad!!!

More Sam always! Sam you rock and are the best as always!

I am right there with you on this one Sam! Been a fan since i was a kid of this band and I always dreamed about what these songs would sound like with the production of arise or beneath the remains and they did it! Album of the fucking year 2023! Necromancaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Sam with the Hath shirt!!! Also pupper on the left at 0:44.

I'm not sure if I'm into the whole rerecording thing, But it sounds good so far from some of the samples in this video. Morbid visions/Bestial devastation became my favorite split, And hell yeah, I love Whiplash Power and pain! If you've done your research, Then you know how much tape trading helped build the community fur sure!

My first thought when i heard about the re-recording was, why not make a live record, where you played all the songs. But it sounds okay. As Sam says, all the riffs stands out and they still have some of the raw feeling to it. I am surpriced in a good way. :)

Good to see Papa Dunn back talking metal

This is fantastic!!!

Whoa! Incubus '84 demo!!! Whiplash' Cangelosi was a beast!!! Great review!!

I bought Morbid Visions in 1986 when it came out. I was a junior in High School. I was in a Budget Tapes and Records looking for something new. I saw the album cover and had to have it, because back then that's just what you did, lol. I remember listening to it for the first time and damn , this sounds like shit! It was many years later I learned to appreciate it more. The rerecording is fucking amazing! Max and the boys managed to keep a lot of the same energy and raw power without over producing it 🤘😎

5/5 is a very metal thing to do. Way to lead the kids Sam!

The very first metal show i attended was a Slaughter Lord show in 1987 👌🏼

Sam, I agree with your review, but, being from Belo Horizonte city (Sepultura's hometown) I gotta say that the only thing that disapointed me is the abscence of Jairo "Tormentor" Guedz. The guitar solos that this guitarist played in this re-recording is awesome, but I really believe that Jairo's presence woud turn this way more interesting, considering the fact that he has Troops Of Doom band wich rescues this old school Death Metal sound from Sepultura's first albums. For those who don't know, check The Troops Of Doom's album, "Antichrist Reborn".

Saw them live yesterday in Tilburg The Netherlands, i'm an old man, i'm 55, but to hear these classic songs i grew up with, with such a great production and sound, awesome man, i was in the pit like a 16 year old kid again, they really nailed it, and live as well, my favorite kind of extreme metal, but with a great 2023 production, love it!

the latest Soulfly was actually metal now , not numetal . lead solos all over the place.

These releases were something I never knew I wanted until it happened.

Both releases are high end Black Magic - Sepultura's spirit of the mid 80s sent through time to 2023. Excellent job. 🤘

Hell yeah. I think these re-recordings absolutely rip. Very, very well done in my opinion. I bought Morbid Visions on CD (which included Bestial Devestation) when I was first getting into more and more classic metal, and they were *good*, but I didn't absolutely fall in love with them. And then I heard Beneath the Remains and it blew me away, and then Arise -- and I mostly stuck with those two albums for years. Because they rule, and are still some of the best albums of their kind to this day. But after a few years I remember throwing Morbid Visions on again, and being surprised how much better it was than I remembered. There was a lot of really solid stuff going on there. And I think these new recordings really highlight what was good with those albums, while improving the sound, but keeping the old-school feel. It kind of shows how ahead of the time they were. Honestly, and maybe this sounds crazy ... if the old albums didn't exist, and these came out now from a modern death/thrash band today in 2023, they wouldn't seem out of place at all. There are solid bands playing with this same style today. I was so, so bummed that I wasn't able to get to a show for Max and Igor's recent tour for Arise & Beneath the Remains. I wanted to go *so bad*. First Covid pushed the tour back, then just scheduling, and I couldn't make it to a show last fall. They have a new tour coming up this fall, and I'm sure the set list will be mostly these two albums. I think I'm going to go, even though I would've much preferred the Beneath/Arise set list ... and I'll just cross my fingers and wish on all my stars that they'll play some stuff from those albums too. All of the bits and pieces from recent live performances I've seen show that they're still fucking ripping, and putting on a very, very good live show.

I would like to hear the original proper version demo of Forbidden "Trapped" or re-recorded. Fantastic songs on those 2-3 demos they had done before Distortion came out. Tormentor "Anno Domini", Immolation "Dawn Of Possession" and the Blasphemy/Beherit stuff,just out of Curiosity 🤣😂

Morbid rerecording December Moon with Necrobird would be kvlt. It would also give them the chance to include stuff like the entire Deathexecution song and songs that didn’t get to be on the demo like Tragic Dream, City Thrasher, Necrodead. Plus that instrumental they used at the reunion show would make for a great intro. Hell, maybe they could try and include a new song.

Funny thing is destruction has released a couple of albums compiling re-recorded versions of old songs, including most of the tracks off sentenced to death

Troops of Doom and Slaves of Pain were my first two Sepultura songs. Been hooked on anything from Max ever since.

The Cavalera brothers did wonders to their own Sepultura classic! Even better than the original.

Is that a hath shirt?!?!? Love it

Sounds amazing love max and igor... sepultura will never beat the old days...🤘🇬🇧

No way you had Scream Bloody Gore and Morbid Visions on the same tape!! I had the same!!! Only that my story is that I got it because it was the Sepultura album. And the other side has no label, the guy that passed it to me didn't know what it was. But I liked it and it was the most extreme vocals I had heard. I did not know the band Death at that point. Years later I get to listen to SBG from another source and I recognize the songs, so I got to know it was Death since back then, but by that time I had already listened to Spiritual Healing and maybe even Human. I swear I tell this story all the time. The last time it was just a couple weeks ago with a friend as we were sharing our personal rankings of the Death discography. What a trip!!!

Esse são os originais lançados aqui no brasil, eu tive todos eles, à época comprados usados.Só faltou o " Schizoprenia" , o que quase ninguém " lembra". 😢
