During a recent interview with us (see below), Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, ex-SEPULTURA) discussed the reasons why drummer David Kinkade left SOULFLY in December of 2012. As you can see, Max pretty much stated that Kinkade couldn't play the old songs properly so he decided it was time to find a NEW drummer. His son Zyon Cavalera (LODY KONG) is currently drumming for SOULFLY, but Max has made it very clear that he is currently searching for a permanent drummer.
Kinkade watched the interview in question and he is not happy with Max's comments. This is what he had to say about this:
"They want to slander me and they figure that since I was a note for note perfectionist, why not hit below the belt and make me look like a fool. I quit when I called bullshit on how the kids treated people? Shit and had absolutely zero respect for Soulfly. Snorting lines and blowing weed smoke into the bunks all the time. Anyone would have quit if having to deal with the Cavalera's and their kids for months on end. Marc and Tony are the only thing that holds that circus together. Good riddance."
Here is the two part interview:
UPDATE from David Kinkade after reading about all your comments all over the internet:
"I really appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately I permanently retired from music after my final tour last October. I haven’t played since October 23rd in Thailand. I sold all of my equipment and now I actually work on the railroad. Its hard work but the benefits and salary are well worth the effort. It goes to show the true colors since Max tries to make it look like I was fired lol. I actually quit on the last day of the last Euro tour because I was to become a Father and didn’t want to be away from my family anymore. I also couldn’t handle the Cavalera way anymore. The Soulfly experience literally broke my love for being a drummer. Too much drama, too many lies and not worth the time or energy. I worked my ass off to make a great record, play ALL the songs note for note and yet I’m talked about like a piece of shit. So much for the “respect”."

Max Cavalera Pt 2: SOULFLY, The Birth Of SEPULTURA, Band Politics & Metal Passion!
Ever since he arrived to the Heavy Music scene in 1984, Max Cavalera has been constantly reinventing his musical craft. While it was his work with the mighty SEPULTURA that helped him become an International Metal Superstar, Max has proven through his additional work with SOULFLY and CAVALERA CONSPIRACY that his musical abilities are extremely multidimensional.
Max left SEPULTURA in 1996, following the murder of Dana Wells (Max's stepson) and the firing of Gloria Cavalera Bujnowski (Max's wife & Dana's mother) as SEPULTURA's manager. While many artists would have had a hard time starting a NEW band and making it successful, Max has proven with SOULFLY that his musical vision is what sets him apart from other artists. Get this, SOULFLY turns 16 years old this year and have eight studio albums under their musical belt and are already working on album # 9, which will be produced by Terry Date!
Additionally, Cavalera has a NEW supergroup that features Greg Puciato from THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, Troy Sanders from MASTODON and David Elitch, former member of THE MARS VOLTA.
On Thursday, March 14, we met up with Max at his hotel room in New York City before the "MAXIMUM CAVALERA Tour" show at The Gramercy Theatre. This is part II of our in-depth interview with "El Patrón Del Metal", Max Cavalera! On part II we discuss SOULFLY's past, present and future. Additionally, we discuss the formation of SEPULTURA and Max made it very clear that his passion for Metal will keep him making music for many years to come. Check it out!

New York City's GRAMERCY THEATRE Is Electrified By The METAL MASTERS - Video Of Entire Performance Available!
The night was kicked off by a very special unannounced performance of Dave Lombardo's NEW band PHILM! The trio kicked off the night in style, and the crowd loved seeing Lombardo up close and personal. He was literally jamming his drums from center stage. What a treat!
Following PHILM's set, Frank Bello from ANTHRAX entertained the crowd with his hilarious antics and demonstrated all sorts of techniques to the sold out audience. The best part of his clinic is when he asked various members of the crowd to joining him on stage so he could teach them a thing or two. You should have seen the emotion displayed by this kids! Priceless!
Right after Bello was done wowing the crowd with his New York brand of humor and great bass techniques, it was time for none other than Billy Sheehan from MR. BIG to teach many Metalheads that there is a very fine line between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. They say that fine booze is better when aged, this is definitely the case with Mr. Sheehan. Get this, he has been playing bass for over 40 years! To say that the crowd learned a few things for him is an understatement.
Then it was ANTHRAX's Scott Ian turn to teach the audience at home and online (the event was streamed worldwide) a few techniques and tell some cool stories about his extensive career as a professional musician. During his musical spiel, the fire alarm went off and halted the show for about 20 minutes. The New York Fire Department showed up to make sure it wasn't anything serious, so the show could proceed. Apparently a smoker decided that it was a food idea to light up in a bathroom. Once Ian resumed his clinic, just like his bandmate Frank Bello, Ian invited a fan on stage and they jammed together!
Finalizing the clinic part of the METAL MASTERS IV was Charlie Benante from ANTHRAX, who always brings his amazing energy to the stage. Just like his counterparts, Benante jammed on stage with a very lucky fan! All in all, the clinic part of the show was very informative and funny as hell (except when the fire alarm went off).
A few minutes after the clinic, the all-star jam was introduced by Jose Mangin from Sirius XM Liquid Metal and Mike Menghi from ZOOM (one of the sponsors along with HAARTKE and SAMSON). The set list was as follows:
- "Room For One More" (w/ Frank Bello on lead vocals) (ANTHRAX)
- "Mouth For War" (PANTERA)
- "Five Minutes Alone" (PANTERA)
- "A New Level" (PANTERA)
- "Chemical Warfare" (SLAYER)
- "War Ensemble" (SLAYER)
- "Goddamn Electric" (PANTERA)
- "Sergeant D & The S.O.D." (STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH)
- "Kill Yourself" (STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH)
- "Angel Of Death" (SLAYER)
- "Strike Of The Beast" (EXODUS)
- "Raining Blood" (SLAYER)
- "Fucking Hostile" (PANTERA)
Quiet a set list ah? The highlights were: PANTERA's 5 "Five Minutes Alone" and "Goddamn Electric", SLAYER's "War Ensemble" and "Angel Of Death", and EXODUS' "Strike Of The Beast". Missed the show?
As SLAYER's Kerry King said in the past "Everybody wants to see Phil. Everybody loves Phil. When I come out, it's a huge applause. When Phil comes out, it's like somebody came back from the dead; they're not expecting it. And it's cool." To say that he stole the show is an understatement! It is so good to see what a positive role model Anselmo has become!
Did you miss the event? Do you want to see what you missed while you were at the bar picking up chicks (or dudes)? Well, thanks to our good friends from REVOLVER MAGAZINE, you can watch the entire show right here!

SLAYER's Kerry King: "When I come out, it's a huge applause. When Phil (Anselmo) comes out, it's like somebody came back from the dead"
As previously reported, Samson, Zoom and Hartke are bringing you the fourth edition of the Metal Masters Clinic. This unique all-star event, will take place on Friday, September 7th at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City. The event is sold out!
The most recent event, the Metal Masters Clinic 3, took place on April 12, 2012 at the Key Club in Los Angeles, California, a day after the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Present at the event were: Philip Anselmo (Down, ex-Pantera), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Kerry King and Dave Lombardo (Slayer), plus members of Anthrax, Megadeth and more. Here is what went down at this historic event!
Here is what Kerry King from SLAYER had to say during an interview with Artisan News about having Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA) being part of Metal Masters IV!
"The reason I still do it to this day is to get Phil involved, because I think the world misses him. He's good at what he does and I'm one of the few guys he looks up to to the point where he'd come out and do it. And I'm not blowing sunshine up my ass; it's just a fact. And everybody wants to see Phil. Everybody loves Phil. When I come out, it's a huge applause. When Phil comes out, it's like somebody came back from the dead; they're not expecting it. And it's cool."
Regarding which songs fans can expect to see performed at "Metal Masters 4", King said, "We're gonna do more SLAYER stuff this time. We've been focusing on PANTERA. So we're gonna do a few… I think Holt signed on this time, so we'll probably do an EXODUS tune and just see what fucking comes of it."
