Where this album fits

Career context
Released in early 2013, 'Savages' is Soulfly's eighth studio album, following their 2010 release 'Omen.' At this point in his career, frontman Max Cavalera continued to explore heavier themes and darker sounds, building on a legacy that began with Sepultura and evolved through various projects. The album reflects a matured sound that ties back to Cavalera's roots while pushing into new territory.
