MAX CAVALERA Says CAVALERA CONSPIRACY Is 'Very Special Moment' For Metal Community

May 12, 2008

Hall Of Metal recently conducted an interview with SOULFLY/CAVALERA CONSPIRACY frontman Max Cavalera. An excerpt from the chat follows.

Hall Of Metal: From your point of view, how good do you think will be the reactions from the metal community with [CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's debut album] "Inflikted"?

Max: Well, this is a very important album for me in several ways. This is the first time I'm working along with Igor in a long time after we parted ways. Some of the songs of the album are very strong. It is some sort of getting back to Max and Igor thrash and hardcore roots. It also represents the future of metal from our point of view. I'm working on with SOULFLY but this is a very special project for us. Now we are touring with CONSPIRACY through USA, Europe, Ozzfest and also in Madrid. This is a very special moment for me and Igor and also for the metal community.

Hall Of Metal: How would you define CAVALERA CONSPIRACY to people never heard of you before?

Max: It just represents the ideas of two thinking heads (laughs). Well, it's very American sounding. It's fast, heavy and with a lot of groove, some of the most important things in the way I see the music. I like the heavy sound of BLACK SABBATH, the speed in the music and the typical Brazilian groove. Igor has a lot of groove inside him. There are songs where my voice interacts perfectly with the drums rhythms, working as it was another rhythmical instrument. Anyway it's better to listen to the album to make yourself a better picture of all this.

Hall Of Metal: Can we say CAVALERA CONSPIRACY it's only a side project or we can consider it as a full-time band? Will there be another album in the future?

Max: Unlike SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY is only a side project. SOULFLY is an active band and we play around the world. I want to perform some shows with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY and after that maybe we will make another special album in the future. Igor has a lot of projects and plans in mind. CAVALERA CONSPIRACY is not a typical project but a very special one. I'm very excited about both bands.
