CAVALERA CONSPIRACY To Support IRON MAIDEN In São Paulo

February 16, 2011

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY — the project featuring former SEPULTURA members Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor Cavalera (drums) — will support IRON MAIDEN on Saturday, March 26 at the Morumbi in São Paulo, Brazil.

Commented the group: "This will be the second time that the band will be playing in Brazil. We promise to prepare the audience for the IRON MAIDEN concert in São Paulo with a hyper-charged show."

CAVALERA CONSPIRACY made its Brazilian live debut on October 11, 2010 at the SWU Music and Arts Festival at the Maeda Farm in Itú (about 43.5 miles away from São Paulo).

Two months before the release of the band's new album, "Blunt Force Trauma", CAVALERA CONSPIRACY performed a unique worldwide pre-release show on 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.

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.
