Interview With CAVALERA CONSPIRACY

Label: ,

The metal band CAVALERA CONSPIRACY has interviewed by Heavy metal about about 'Inflikted'.Here is the interview: About Heavy Metal: How did the reunion with your brother Igor come about? Max Cavalera: "Igor called me out of the blue. I hadn't talked to him in more than ten years. He called when I was on tour in Europe with SOULFLY. He talked to Gloria (Max's wife and manager) first because they needed to patch things up. It involved all of us. They had a really good talk about all that happened and how much he wanted to fix our friendship and brotherhood. That was great. When I talked to him I invited him to come to Arizona because it was the tenth anniversary of the Dana (Max's late stepson) show here in Phoenix. I thought it would be cool to hang out. He came over and we jammed the day of the show. That was sick. That was the birth of CAVALERA CONSPIRACY. Right after the show I told him I wanted to do a whole record with him. I lied and said I had all the songs ready, and I only had one. It was one of those good lies. Everything rolled from there. What I like about the CONSPIRACY is that nothing is really planned. One thing leads to another. There's no pressure and it feels like a different project than anything I've done." About Heavy Metal: How did you decide on guitarist Marc Rizzo and bassist Joe Duplantier to complete the band? Max Cavalera: "Marc was my choice from the beginning, because we play together in SOULFLY and musically we're like twin brothers. We really connect. I was talked to Marc about going back to the roots of the mid-'80s thrash I did with SEPULTURA. That was one of the most exciting periods in metal music. We wanted to bring some of that back with our own style. Marc was completely into it and he did great. He surpassed what I asked him to do. Joe was Gloria's idea. I did not know him at all. He became the dangerous part of CAVALERA CONSPIRACY. We had no idea who the guy is, he's from a different continent and we don't speak French. I did know the GOJIRA CD. But I like the element of surprise and danger Joe brought. We went right to the studio. We didn't know what to expect. Everything went well. He's a great guy and helped the record a lot. In the end it was a really killer chemistry between four people." Read More at Blabbermouth.net
