New CAVALERA CONSPIRACY Album Will Not See Light Of Day Until 2011

May 14, 2010

Roadrunner Records has confirmed that the recently recorded sophomore album from CAVALERA CONSPIRACY — the project featuring former SEPULTURA members Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor Cavalera (drums) — will not see the light of day until early 2011.

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY once again tracked the effort with Logan Mader (ex-MACHINE HEAD/SOULFLY guitarist),who co-produced the album with Max. Logan is also mixing 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.

Igor Cavalera told AOL's Noisecreep late last year that CAVALERA CONSPIRACY hoped to complete another album by this summer once he and his brother found time to work on some new material.

"Max is so busy with SOULFLY, and MIXHELL [Igor's electronic duo, also featuring his wife — Ed.] is taking up most of me and [my wife] Laima's time, so when we find some free time we do CAVALERA," Igor said. "I think that's why I really enjoy doing it. There's no pressure of being in a band and sitting around waiting for gigs. When we get the offers we sit together and decide if we want to do them or not do them, so it's really cool.

"We have some ideas of maybe doing a remix album of [CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's debut CD, 'Inflikted'] and have people like JUSTICE or SOULWAX — even some dub artists that my brother likes — remix the whole album," he added. "But that's just an idea. It's nothing confirmed."

Johny Chow (a.k.a. John Mark Bechtel; FIREBALL MINISTRY, SOULS OF WE, ex-SYSTEMATIC, MY RUIN) was recruited by CAVALERA CONSPIRACY to play bass for the group as the replacement for Joe Duplantier of the French progressive death metallers GOJIRA. Duplantier laid down all the bass tracks on "Inflikted", but was busy in the studio working on the latest GOJIRA CD and was unable to join CAVALERA CONSPIRACY on the road.

Upcoming CAVALERA CONSPIRACY shows:

July 02 - Topvar Rockfest - Bratislava, Slovakia
July 08 - Getaway Rock Festival - Gavle, Sweden
July 09 - Norway Rock - Kvinesdal, Norway
