Cavalera has become synonymous with metal music, name that to this day still holds the highest regard, a true family legacy. In 2023, Max and Iggor Cavalera revisited Sepultura’s earliest releases, Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation , re-recording them with the same level of intensity.
Max and Iggor Cavalera are now entering the final chapter of their early days trilogy with revisit of Sepultura’s Schizophrenia. This was the point where the Cavaleras refined Sepultura’s dark, dingy, speed-influenced songs, into something a bit more mature, developed, and technical. It will be released on June 21 through Nuclear Blast Records.
While talking about the album, Max Cavalera states:”The Third World Trilogy is finally complete with Schizophrenia, Bestial Devastation, and Morbid Visions, all three Brazilian underground gems! To me, Schizophrenia is the ultimate death/ thrash experiment! I was inspired to take on the world and this recording shows my commitment is relentless! This one is for all the generations to enjoy! Play at Max volume!”
Iggor Cavalera adds: “1987 was a very progressive year for metal, with releases like CELTIC FROST Into The Pandemonium, VOIVOD Killing Technology, and BATHORY Under The Sign Of The Black Mark, so it was no surprise on how we approached Schizophrenia pushing our boundaries from a black/death metal sound to a more thrash metal aesthetics. We still had some ideas from Morbid Visions and some new songs. I’m very proud of the songwriting and even more proud of our re-recordings.”
The first taste of the reissue comes in the form of the live music video for “Escape To The Void.” Fans will enjoy footage filmed by Costin Chioreanu & Olivia Chioreanu from the band’s chilling performance at 013 Venue in Tilburg, Netherlands, 2023.
