Songs
"Rise of the Fallen" features Static-X-like riff with cyber tones,[1] then a sitar signals the beginning of death metal riff.[14] The song features Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan. "Great Depression" plays such thrashy riff that it sounded like train derailing, before abruptly settling down into Hellhammer-like riff for chorus.[1] "Kingdom" is a unique song for Soulfly due to melodic vocals by Max Cavalera. "Vulture Culture" is a rhyming song title that has hints of Nailbomb sounds and punky riffs.[15]
