The CAVALERA's, The Real METAL Familia! Interview Available With MAX & His Sons At The Maximum Cavalera Tour!

Ever since he arrived to the Heavy Music scene in 1984, Max Cavalera has been constantly reinventing mis 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.

Thankfully, Max has also served as a mentor to his musician sons Richie, Igor and Zyon. While the Cavalera's are not the only Metal family in the Heavy Music world, they are the only family in the Metal world that have shared a nationwide tour in which Max's SOULFLY was supported by INCITE (Richie's band) and LODY KONG (Igor and Zyon's band).

The "Maximum Cavalera Tour" recently wrapped up, and all who attended really enjoyed seeing the Cavalera clan in full force! And we can't forget Max's soul mate Gloria. Gloria has not only been Max's backbone in all of his musical projects, but she has also taught her sons that a strong work ethic and humbleness, will help them achieve their goals while keeping the Cavalera legacy intact!

We recently had the chance to chat with Max and his sons about the "Maximum Cavalera Tour", and how life on the road as a family has made them a stronger family. We also talked with them about Max's involvement in their son's musical careers and how he is making sure that they are learning the business with little to no guidance. Check this exclusive interview out with the Cavalera's, the real Metal familia!

MAX CAVALERA Discusses Musical Roots, MAXIMUM CAVALERA Tour, SEPULTURA Reunion & More!

Ever since he arrived to the Heavy Music scene in 1984, Max Cavalera has been constantly reinventing mis 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 15 years old this year and have eight studio albums under their musical belt!

With the release of SOULFLY's eighth studio album 'Enslaved', Max has created one of the heaviest records of his career. Thanks to his decision to add NEW members Tony Campos (ex-Static X, Prong Ministry, Posessed, Asesino) and David Kinkade (Borknagar, Arsis), SOULFLY has created a contender for album of the year! If you haven't seen the current incarnation of SOULFLY live, you must!

Recently, we met up with Max at his hotel room in New York City before the "MAXIMUM CAVALERA Tour" show at The Gramercy Theatre. Once the camera was rolling, we chatted with him about growing up in Brazil and how this influenced his musical career. We also discussed the response of the public thus far to the current killer lineup and SOULFLY's NEW album 'Enslaved'. Additionally, we discussed what it means to Max having his kids bands INCITE and LODY KONG open up the show for him and how it feels to have his brother Iggor back in his life. And of course we asked him about a potential SEPULTURA reunion and about the change in guard at his long time record label: ROADRUNNER RECORDS! Check out what Max had to say about all of this!

And hey, there is no question that Max has plenty of musical fire left to burn for years to come and that the Cavalera's reign in Heavy Music will carry on for years to come.
