Cavalera Conspiracy: Intervew with Max and Iggor Cavalera

by Liz Wize

For those of you unfamiliar with the Cavalera brothers, I might suggest you take a listen to the following bands: Sepultura, Nailbomb, Soulfly, and finally, Cavalera Conspiracy. The brothers, originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, have been a formidable force in the heavy metal scene for more than twenty years.

Iggor and Max Cavalera formed the band Sepultura in 1984. With Max on guitar and vocals and Iggor playing drums, Sepultura released 6 albums until tension and band differences forced Max to leave Sepultura in 1996. Sepultura carried on with a new vocalist and Max formed Soulfly, another heavy metal, tribal favorite. To the delight of fans and after 10 years apart, the Cavalera brothers reunited and began writing music together for the Cavalera Conspiracy album, Inflikted.

I have been a fan of Sepultura and the Cavaleras since I was fourteen. I was thrilled to interview both Max and Iggor and I recommend that fans of any of their bands attend a Cavalera Conspiracy concert where they play Sepultura and Nailbomb songs in addition to songs from Inflikted.
