MAX CAVALERA Talks About Inspiration For New CAVALERA CONSPIRACY Album (Video)

March 23, 2011

Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, SEPULTURA) recently spoke to Roadrunner Records about the upcoming CAVALERA CONSPIRACY album, "Blunt Force Trauma". Check out the clip below to hear Max talk about what it was like to work with producer and ex-MACHINE HEAD/SOULFLY guitarist Logan Mader and what Max was thinking when he wrote the lyrics for the CD.

"Blunt Force Trauma" will be released on March 29 not only as a standard CD but also as an "awesome" CD/DVD/LP package.

"Blunt Force Trauma" was once again tracked with Mader, who co-produced the LP with Max. Logan also mixed the follow-up to the band's debut album, "Inflikted", which has sold less than 50,000 copies in the United States since its March 2008 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The brothers Cavalera co-founded SEPULTURA, the Brazilian metal band that redefined and established the genre outside of the U.S. and Europe. After Max exited the band, there was a rift between himself and his brother, one that was eventually repaired through the redemptive power of music. Some time had passed and Max and Igor were unable to resist the musical pull in their magnetic fields and their musical collaboration was renewed. The duo are back for round two with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY.

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's lineup is filled out by guitarist Marc Rizzo, who plays with Max in SOULFLY, and bassist Johnny Chow.
