Max and Igor Cavalera, the founders of SEPULTRA, have united as Cavalera Conspiracy and are ready to “shoot Thrash and Death Metal straight to the world.”
In a press release, the Cavalera brothers have confirmed the November release of their upcoming album Pandemonium, by making available the first song off the album titled “Bonzai Kamakazi”.
Max Cavalera told Loudwire,
This song is about the Japanese pilots and their fervor to commit suicide for their country.” Smeared with Max’s rage on vocals, and Igor frantically attacking the drums, Cavalera Conspiracy present “Bonzai Kamakazi” with their usual, “sheer boldness.”
In an interview with HardRockHaven.net Max said, “There aren’t really any guests on the album. Nate [Newton] from CONVERGE plays bass and he sings one song called ‘The Crucible’ — it’s about the witches of Salem; we did a song about that. Nate’s got a great voice, ’cause he sings for DOOMRIDERS and I love his voice, so I got him to sing one song. That’s the only guest. The CAVALERA album is really more about me and Igor [Cavalera, drums], the brothers, thrashing. This one is almost grindcore. I was really a dictator in the studio with Igor to try to keep him from going into the groove and tried to keep him playing fast; I wanted him play fast for most of the record. So every time he’d go into the groove, I would be, like, ‘Fuck the groove! Get out of the groove! Go back to the fast shit.’ And I succeeded, man. It’s a really brutal album. I think it’s definitely the most brutal of all the CAVALERA albums and it’s definitely gonna turn some heads when people hear this one.”
In October of 2013 when Max and Igor let it be known that they were forming the new band, they described themselves as, “metal version of the White Stripes.”
Pandemonium will be released in the UK on November 3rd and November 4th in the U.S. To listen to “Bonzai Kamakazi” click the here.
