MAX CAVALERA - My Bloody Roots English Language Version Due In April
October 21, 2013, 11 years ago
Authored by MAX CAVALERA and Joel McIver, My Bloody Roots is the brutally honest story of life in two of the world's best-known heavy metal bands, SEPULTURA and SOULFLY, by one of the global metal scene's most respected musicians. Jawbone Press will release this 288-page paperback on April 15th; an Amazon pre-order is available below.
Much, much more than just another tale of rock 'n' roll debauchery, it's a story of heartbreak and loss - and, ultimately, triumph. In it, Cavalera offers an unflinching account of life growing up in hardship in Brazil; a country not previously known for heavy metal and the multi-million-selling success, against all odds, of the band he founded with his brother, Iggor: Sepultura. Then, for the first time, he reveals the full story behind his split with the band after which he did not speak to his brother for years and the formation of his band Soulfly. He also goes into unflinching detail on the devastating impact of the deaths of his father, stepson, and grandson; his struggles with drugs and alcohol; and his eventual reunion with Iggor in CAVALERA CONSPIRACY. Max Cavalera has a unique and extraordinary story to tell, and My Bloody Roots is an autobiography like no other.
