 Revolver 's Jon Wiederhorn , pointed out that although the songs were arranged and recorded quickly , Inflikted sounds neither hastily executed nor incomplete . There 's a connection between Max 's riffing and Igor 's drumming ; a chemistry that comes only from musicians who learned to play together and honed their craft through years of studio sessions and live shows . Wiederhorn described Inflikted as an " explosive flashback to the remorseless thrash and primal groove @-@ metal Sepultura created between 1991 's Arise and 1993 's Chaos A.D. [ ... ] The songs are raw and simple , yet graced with syncopated drum runs , experimental guitar flourishes , and sonic frills inspired by Max 's love of reggae and Igor 's fascination with DJ culture . The vocals are primal and savage , emboldened by a sense of urgency that 's equal parts desperation , rage , and celebration . "
