CAVALERA CONSPIRACY Launches New Album With Special Barcelona Concert; Video, Photos

February 11, 2011

Two months before the release of the band's new album, "Blunt Force Trauma", CAVALERA CONSPIRACY — the project featuring former SEPULTURA members Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor Cavalera (drums) — performed a unique worldwide pre-release show this past Saturday, February 5 in Barcelona, Spain at the legendary Razzmatazz venue.

Exactly 20 years after the filming of the classic SEPULTURA DVD "Under Siege -Live In Barcelona", Max and Igor came back to the same venue to kick start their new album cycle. The first video single was recorded live and media from all over Europe came to Barcelona to meet the band.

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's setlist was as follows:

01. Warlord
02. Torture
03. Thrasher
04. Killing Inside
05. Target
06. Genghis Khan
08. I Speak Hate
09. Burn Waco
10. Rasputin
11. Blunt Force Trauma
------
12. Refuse/Resist
13. Troops Of Doom
14. Sanctuary
15. Inflikted
16. Roots Bloody Roots

Fan-filmed video footage of the performance is available below.

"Blunt Force Trauma" will be released on March 29 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was once again tracked with Logan Mader (ex-MACHINE HEAD/SOULFLY guitarist),who co-produced the LP with Max. Logan also mixed the follow-up to the band's debut album, "Inflikted", which has sold 43,000 copies in the United States since its March 2008 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The brothers Cavalera co-founded SEPULTURA, the Brazilian metal band that redefined and established the genre outside of the U.S. and Europe. After Max exited the band, there was a rift between himself and his brother, one that was eventually repaired through the redemptive power of music. Some time had passed and Max and Igor were unable to resist the musical pull in their magnetic fields and their musical collaboration was renewed. The duo are back for round two with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY.

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's lineup is filled out by guitarist Marc Rizzo, who plays with Max in SOULFLY, and bassist Johnny Chow.
