After listening to it a couple of times, I have to say that it does not have much difference to their last two studio albums. There is nothing new in it, and nothing blasting, but if you like "post-Max" period of the band, you will not dislike Kairos. My favourite tracks are "Relentless", "Just One Fix" (Ministry version), "Mask" and "Born Strong". Also, check out the track "Firestarter", a heavy version of the infamous track of The Prodigy.

On the other hand, the band has endorsed a new drummer, 20-year-old from São Paulo, Brazil, who won the Modern Drummer "Undiscovered Drummer" contest as a teenager in 2006, Eloy Casagrande. Jean Dolabella leaves SEPULTURA after a five-year run of relentless touring and two studio albums to focus on personal projects.
