August 26, 2010, 13 years ago
SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera recently spoke with Mike Meyer of The Phoenix New Times. In addition to discussing the 14th annual D-Low Memorial Show, scheduled for Saturday, August 28th at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ, Max commented on the possibility of a SEPULTURA reunion as next year will mark the 25th anniversary of Sepultura's debut album, Morbid Visions.
"That's something I don't know. That's a hard one. A lot of people ask me that, and sometimes I feel optimistic. I convinced Igor (Cavalera, drummer) to do it, 'cause he didn't want to have anything to do with those guys [bassist Paulo Jr. and guitarist Andreas Kisser] ever again. I convinced him to do it for me, and he said he'd do it for me if that was the case, but the other two guys, it's kinda hard. They're still trapped in an old mindset, so it's just something that's gonna have to wait. I mean, it would have been cool to do it next year. There's a lot of cool offers for us around the world. People want to see that reunion, so I just kinda wait and see. In the meantime, I'm super busy with both bands. Soulfly is going to Israel and China and Australia next month, and I'm going to Brazil with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY for a huge festival in Sao Paulo. So I'm pretty busy with both bands anyway, so I just kinda wait. If that happens, it's cool. If it doesn't, it's still cool. I'm busy anyway."To read the interview in its entirety, click here.
