The Brazilian Metal brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera recently released "Inflikted", their first new music together in over 12 years. The album is the first outing since they recorded Sepultura’s colossal landmark album, "Roots" in 1995 (which debuted at No.4 in the UK album charts). Their new project, Cavalera Conspiracy, features Max on vocals & rhythm guitar and Iggor on drums as well as Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo and Gojira’s Joe Duplantier on bass. Rex Brown (Down, Pantera) also makes a cameo bass appearance on one track.
This long-anticipated reunion between the Cavalera brothers is something fans across the globe have been waiting for since Sepultura’s last gig at Brixton Academy in December 1996. Hailing from Belo Horizonte in central Brazil, Sepultura gained a legendary reputation as the one of the most highly regarded and successful Thrash Metal bands of all time, with two gold albums under their belts both in the UK and the USA – "Chaos A.D." (1994) and "Roots" (1996).
"When Iggor and I met at the 10th Annual D-Low Memorial Show and got the instruments in our hands, it was like we had never been separated. The Metal was flowing in our veins", comments Max. Making an album together was the next step and doing just a short run of European summer shows was perfect timing.
Meanwhile, the multi-tasking Max is also keeping his eye on his "day job" in Soulfly, with the forthcoming release of their sixth studio album set for this July.
