anyone else heard of this recently-formed band? max cavalera, from soulfly, and igor cavalera, both of whom were once in sepultura (when they were a damn good band), are forming a band. their upcoming album (will be released feb 2008) will be their first recording together in over 10 years or something. crazy.

they got some dude from gojira to play bass, and marc rizzo from soulfly (madman shredder) will do lead guitar stuff.

their first performance (sound quality isn't so great):

BUMP: 2 of the new songs are now available online. search on seeqpod. the titles are "sanctuary" and "inflikted"


warning
THEY'RE DAMN HEAVY

Did Nailbomb drain all of Cavalera's creativity? *shrugs*

I'd rather listen to Manny Calavera than Max Cavalera.

I'm probably an r-tard and all for thinking this, but I'll bet they don't even get like 50% of the way to the level of goodness they were at 17 years ago. Still, nice to hear that the Cavaleras are together again, I suppose.

I don't get people's pre-'Chaos AD' / 'Roots' fixation with this band. It seemed there was absolutely no room in their artistic vocabulary for a thing such as 'texture' until then. To me it's just very pedestrian, sub-Slayer chugging.

Yes, right, Tool wasn't popular before then, that is correct. And don't worry, nobody ever accused you of "getting" anything.

Sepultura kills Slayer imo, not that slayers bad mind you I just think Sepultura rips way harder.
