Cavalera Conspiracy are currently busy on the road in support of their second full-length album titled "Blunt Force Trauma" (released on March 29 via Roadrunner Records). The live footage below proves that whenever you put the Cavalera brothers (Max and Iggor) in front of large audience, nobody leaves without a few bruises! As we all know, the Cavalera brothers formed the legendary Brazilian Heavy Metal band Sepultura in 1984, and single handily changed the phase of Heavy Music forever. While neither of them are in Sepultura anymore (even though they should be), they are still spreading artistic terrorism with the music that they have been creating with Cavalera Conspiracy. The other members of the band include: guitar virtuoso Mark Rizzo and bassist Johnny Chow.
Without further due, here is live footage of the band's performance last night (June 25) at Effenaar in Eindhoven, Holland! Footage recorded & posted by ovd806.
Whenever you put the Cavalera brothers (Max and Iggor) inside a jam room, nobody is safe! As we all know, the Cavalera brothers formed the legendary Brazilian Heavy Metal band Sepultura in 1984, and single handily changed the phase of Heavy Music forever. While neither of them are in Sepultura anymore, they are still spreading artistic terrorism with the music that they have been creating with Cavalera Conspiracy.

Their second album is titled "Blunt Force Trauma" and it will be in stores on Tuesday March 29, 2011. After spinning the record numerous times, at different times of the day, on different days... here is the Official Horns Up Rocks review:
Ever since we heard the first Cavalera Conspiracy album titled "Inflikted" (Released on March 24, 2008), we were immediately hooked with this amazing band. From the get-go, we felt the power behind the songs that we have missed ever since the Cavalera brothers recorded Sepultura's "Roots" in 1995. The only missing element that Cavalera Conspiracy were lacking on "Inflikted", was the redefining of their musical craft that can only be done once a band tours endlessly and learns about each others musical strengths and weaknesses. This is exactly what they proved on their new album "Blunt Force Trauma"
As soon as we started listening to the opening track titled "Warlord", our blood started pumping out of control and our ears starting bleeding profusely. Once "Torture" came on, we started understanding the message that Cavalera Conspiracy want to transmit on their new record. One thing we did not expect, which totally blew our minds up, was the duet on "Lynch Mob" between Max and Roger Miret from the legendary New York Hardcore band Agnostic Front! After clearing the air with our fists, we turned the volume even louder and started headbanging to "Killing Inside" and "Thrasher". All of a sudden, "I Speak Hate" came on and we found ourselves headbanging violently out of control (this might be illegal in some countries).
The second half of "Blunt Force Trauma" is kicked off by the song "Target", which lyrically reminds us of Sepultura's song "Territory". Musically speaking "Genghis Khan" has a similar vibe to the first few Sepultura albums. Concluding the record in true Heavy Metal form, Cavalera Conspiracy left the three most brutal songs of the entire record to the very end. By the time you get to the songs "Burn Waco", "Rasputin" and "Blunt Force Trauma", make sure their is nobody surrounding you because they wont be safe!
This record should be bought and owned by every Heavy Music fan worldwide!

The mighty Cavalera Conspiracy (featuring the Cavalera brothers) announced today the title of their second album: "Blunt Force Trauma".
This will be the follow up to their 2008 epic release titled "Inflikted", an album which marked the reunion of Max and Iggor Cavalera. The Cavalera's had parted ways when Max left Sepultura in 1996. The Cavalera siblings co-founded Sepultura in 1984. Brazils' Sepultura (grave in Portuguese) redefined and established Heavy Metal outside of the United States and Europe. After Max left the band due to internal problems, the 2 brothers parted ways and didn't talk to each other for over 10 years. After Dimebag's death, Max and Iggor joined forces at the annual "D-Low Memorial Festival". At the event they were unable to refuse/resist the impact of their musical bond and Iggor joined Max on stage and together they jammed some Sepultura songs. Next thing you know, the brothers started Cavalera Conspiracy. The band also features New Jersey's shredder Marc Rizzo (Soulfly), and Johnny Chow on the low end.
Blunt Force Trauma is due out on March 28th via Roadrunner Records. Here is the track listing:
Cavalera Conspiracy was on the media spotlight once they released "Inflikted", one big feature was the brothers on the cover of Metal Edge Magazine in an homage to The Blues Brothers. The album was also an instant hit on Sirius XM Liquid Metal that year. "Inflikted" was described as "gobsmackingly violent" and Outburn mused, "If only all family reunions could be this awesome!"
Below is a further sampling of what the press had to say about Cavalera Conspiracy and "Inflikted":
"The brothers who formed Sepultura, putting Brazil on the global metal map in the process, have reunited-personally and professionally-after more than a decade of acrimony, and their new album is a ferocious homecoming indeed." --Revolver, May 2008
"The fruit of their labor, Inflikted, is an explosive flashback to the remorseless thrash and primal groove-metal Sepultura created with 1991's Arise and 1993's Chaos A.D. Although the songs were arranged and recorded quickly, Inflikted sounds neither hastily executed nor incomplete. There's an almost telekinetic connection between Max's riffing and Iggor's drumming-the kind of chemistry that comes only from musicians who learned to play together and honed their craft through years of studio sessions and live shows." --Artist Direct
"From straightforward pummeling death metal to more complex and technical songs, Cavalera Conspiracy hits on all cylinders." --About.com
"For metalheads far and wide, it's nice knowing the Cavaleras are tight again and sounding perhaps better than ever on Inflikted." --MTV News, April 2008
"Inflikted combines the best elements of Soulfly and Sepultura. There's lots of tribal drum beats, and the guitars are fast 'n thrashy." --Hit Parader, March/April 2008
"The band mixes the old with the new to create something fresh." --My City Buzz.com
"Cavalera Conspiracy is not a mercy project, nor is it about cashing in. It's about bringing the metal back." --Ink
"No doubt this will be remembered as one of the most important heavy music releases of 2008, and quite possibly ever." --ARTIST direct
"Given Inflikted's overall high standards, the Cavalera Conspiracy may be around for a while." --All Music
So on March of 2011, you have an appointment with the Cavalera brothers, as they release the second album by their band Cavalera Conspiracy! Why pick it up? Because it will have more impact then a "Blunt Force Trauma" to the head!
