SOULFLY's MAX CAVALERA Interviewed At Germany's ROCKHARZ Festival (Video)

July 12, 2013

Metal4 magazine conducted an interview with Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, SEPULTURA, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY) at this year's Rockharz open-air festival, which is taking place July 11-13 at Airport Ballenstedt in Harz, Germany. You can now watch the chat below.

A two-minute trailer for SOULFLY's as-yet-untitled ninth album can be seen below. Due later this year via the band's new label home, Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the CD was produced by Terry Date, who is known for his work with such acts as PANTERA, DEFTONES and SOUNDGARDEN, among many others.

Date previously mixed SOULFLY's "3" (2002),"Prophecy" (2004) and "Dark Ages" (2005) albums, but has never produced any of the group's CDs.

The drum tracks on the new SOULFLY CD were laid down by Max's 21-year-old son, Zyon Cavalera, who joined the band as its touring drummer for its recent rampage through North America.

Zyon previously played with SOULFLY during the band's tour of Brazil in February 2012.

It is Zyon's unborn heartbeat that can be heard during the intro of SEPULTURA's classic song "Refuse/Resist", which appeared on the band's RIAA-gold-certified "Chaos A.D." album, released three years before Max's departure from the group.

Drummer David Kinkade (BORKNAGAR, ARSIS, MALEVOLENT CREATION),who played on SOULFLY's eighth album, "Enslaved", left the band last October in order to focus on his personal life.
