This Revolusongs EP has only been released in Brazil so far. It’s a kind of a gift the band offers to their fellow compatriots to thank them for their eternal support. I have no information as to whether or not this EP will see the light of day outside Brazil. It’s not the first time the band comes up with some covers although it’s the first time they release such an EP. They have already covered the likes of Orgasmatron by Motorhead, The Hunt by New Model Army, Drug Me by Dead Kennedys, Symptom Of The Universe by Black Sabbath, Annihilation by Crucifix, etc.

Messiah is a cover of the Swiss metal band Hellhammer which is in fact the band who turned out to become Celtic Frost. I am not familiar with either Hellhammer or Celtic Frost and I don’t intend to, although this is a great song. I believe it turned out to be a great song because when it comes to metal, Sepultura remains one of the best bands ever. Listening to this track makes me wish the band could return to their deathy roots but they probably won’t just because a band has to evolve blah blah blah.

Angel is a cover of Massive Attack. This song isn’t really interesting at all and sounds rather boring to me. I understand the will of the band to come up with very diverse material in the choice of their covers, but this is a choice I don’t understand at all. Even though the band's metal edge adds a lot to this song, it remains not interesting at all.

Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos is Sepultura’s homage to hip hop band Public Enemy. I really don’t like how it turned out as a kind of rappish nu-metal. A song to definitely avoid and skip (and do not tell me I am narrow-minded because I do listen to the likes of Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog).

Mongoloid is one of Devo’s best songs ever. This new-wave quintet from Akron, Ohio, released that song in 1978 on the album Are We Not Men?. If I tell you I have never heard of that band before, do you believe me ? And I bet most of you non-American readers have never heard of that band too. Anyway, it’s an excellent song and I am sure that if the band plays it live on stage the crowd in the pit will turn mad. It’s a real punk anthem metallized by the band’s energy and aggressiveness.

Moutain Song is a Jane’s Addiction song. Who is Jane’s Addiction anyway ? I know I knew it once, but I have forgotten. They probably were nobody anyway. What I know though is that this song and the Massive Attack’s one lower the quality of this release.

Bullet The Blue Sky is probably the most original cover featured on this album as it is a cover of Irish mega pop band U2. It’s to me also the best song on this album. First of all because it is a great song (I like U2 a lot) but also because Sepultura managed to appropriate this song. Of course Dereck’s voice has nothing to do with Bono’s, but his aggressiveness brings a lot to this song.

Piranha is taken from Exodus’ Bonded By Blood album released in 1985. It’s just another fast thrash metal song that just sounds like a thousand other thrash metal songs. I would have preferred Sepultura covering a more challenging old thrash metal band or if they really wanted to pay tribute to Exodus, then cover a more challenging song like Good Day To Die from Force Of Habit because it was a very unusual moody song for Exodus. By the way, my favourite Exodus album is Impact Is Imminent.

The eighth and unknown track is in fact a joke in the style of what Metallica had done with their 5.95 $ Garage Days Re-visited with Iron Maiden. They start off with the beginning of Enter Sandman and quickly turn it into Fight Fire With Fire. I don’t know if they intended to pay tribute to Metallica or if they just wanted to make fun of them. If I can give you a tip, just remember how close Jason and Andreas are as friends and you might find the answer to this fundamental question.

Once again it's a nice gift to the fans despite what many people might say about it. I would like to see many other bands doing the same sort of thing in between two albums. It would have been better if the band came up with a full album and not just an EP.
