If you want my opinion, this album seriously impressed the hell out of me. I felt like the guy sitting in the chair in front of the speakers getting blown back like those old Maxell commercials. Sepultura...look, I applaud and respect them for soldiering on and continuing to experiment with their music regardless of the metal world all but ignoring them if one or both Cavalera brothers aren't involved, but the truth is the band hasn't released a consistently great record in quite a while. But this record? Maybe it was the 20 year old drummer they recruited or something, but this album sounds like a band reinvigorated and they sound hungry again! Its dark, ultra-metal, and very technically impressive, performance-wise. The new kid in the band is the stand-out as he just does stuff with the drums that sounds like he's got an additional set of limbs. The band hasn't sounded this sinister since "Beneath the Remains" and with the exception of one track towards the end that offers a little peace and quiet, it goes straight for your jugular and its unrelenting everywhere else. That being said, I've seen many mixed reviews on here about it and while obviously you have to form your own opinion on the record, its nice to at least see people talking about Sepultura again considering the general indifference they've faced for well over a decade! Worth a listen indeed and many more listens are required to put it all together.

The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart is a dark tornado of groove-oriented monstrosity coupled with a rancid thrash attitude that is sadly hindered by Ross Robinson's production style on this album; raw like the sound these guys are going for here, sure, though noticeably distorted with much brickwalling, too. Cleveland native Derrick Green's howls do rather well in suiting the latter-day Sepultura direction, while newcomer Eloy Casagrande's drum work is downright punchy. The bottom line is that this thrash metal troupe's 2013 release hits and misses are pretty much equal, and while not anywhere near the quality of Sepultura's classic material, The Mediator... is still an above-average addition to their discography.
