Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$Ektomorf}'s wholesale worship of {$Max Cavalera}'s {$Soulfly} has already been exhaustively documented, and their apparent inability to -- or indifference about -- stepping out from under this stylistic shadow gains another chapter in 2007's frankly reverential {^Outcast}. Of course, this being a year in which {$Soulfly} didn't release an album of their own, perhaps the boys in {$Ektomorf} are simply providing a much needed service to {\heavy metal} music consumers -- just like any other quality cover band out there. Whatever the case, after punching in with {^Outcast}'s utterly predictable title track (yet another retread of {$Sepultra}'s {&"Roots Bloody Roots"} or the {$'fly}'s {&"Eye for a Eye"}), the Hungarians dive into a more generalized but, no less archaic, nu-metal blueprint based largely on {$Slipknot} and the signature {$Ross Robinson} "dirty" guitar sound for tracks like {&"I Choke"} and {&"I'm Against"} (containing a very {$Cavalera}-like cry of "Fuck this sheet!"). Momentary flashes of individual thought do threaten to emerge within the gypsy-styled intro to {&"Ambush in the Night"} and the mostly acoustic, faux-sitar-laden {&"Who Can I Trust,"} but it's all so little, compared to the inescapable {$Soulfly}-isms dominating material like {&"We Rise,"} {&"Leave Me Alone,"} and {&"I Confront My Enemy."} And even the frequent elements of Eastern melodicism which crop up throughout (and dominate the ethereal {&"Chamunda"}) were probably themselves inspired by {$Soulfly}'s own immersion in similar regional music types on their most recent outing. Sigh -- what else can one say? {$Ektomorf} are ultimately pretty good at what they do -- too bad it's essentially what someone else does, and they're just warming up the leftovers. [The CD was also released with a bonus track.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
