SOULFLY Frontman Max Cavalera is featured in a new interview with PyroMusic.com's Spiritech. An excerpt is available below.

Spiritech: You're a band that's renowned for collaborations and the new album also features two strong guest appearances from THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN's Greg Puciato and PRONG's Tommy Victor. When reflecting on the Soulfly back catalogue, what are some of your favourite collaborations?

Max Cavalera: "Oh, there's a lot, man. Chino (Moreno) does great from the DETONES; we did a couple of things with him. SLAYER's Tom Araya on 'Terrorist' on Primitive. Sean Lennon also on Primitive, that was really unusual, really, really different, really great. And the last album Conquer had David Vincent from MORBID ANGEL, one of the bands I like a lot from the death metal era. So I got to get Soulfly involved with death metal as well. So all of those are great collaborations, I really love these collaborations. On the new album we have the song with Greg, 'Rise Of The Fallen' and 'Lethal Injection' with Tommy from Prong. Really killer artists to work with, so I'm very pleased and I'm going to do more. I love this idea of collaborations on albums - the more, the better. The more artists you collaborate (with) on other people's albums, I think it's really something cool about the music."

Spiritech: I know that in recent years you've been critical of your work with LIMP BIZKIT's Fred Durst on 'Bleed' from your self-titled debut though. Are there any collaborations you've been involved with that you regret now?

Max Cavalera: "Yeah, Fred Durst, you know, turned out to be a jackass later, but at the time that he did that he was cool. He wasn't like super famous and the idea to use him was from the producer Ross Robinson, he was friends with Limp Bizkit. I didn't know the band you know, I just had a spot for the song 'Bleed' and he said some guy could do some rapping on top of it. So I was like, 'Alright, that's cool.' I didn't know who Limp Bizkit was and then like a year later they were the biggest band on the planet. He also turned into a jackass, you know, so I was like, "oh well, I've got this guy on my album now". At that time I didn't know... if it was today, I probably wouldn't be using him."
