July 17, 2007, 16 years ago
In an interview with Metal Hammer scribe Jerry Ewing, SOULFLY's Max Cavalera (ex-SEPULTURA) discusses, among other things, working with his brother Igor again. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: Who made the first moves to get in touch between you and Igor?
A: "Igor made the contact. I was touring Europe doing a lot of festivals and I got a phone call and someone passed me the phone and said, ‘It’s your brother’, and I almost had a fucking heart attack. I hadn’t talked to my brother in like ten years and this guy hands me the phone like it’s the pizza man! He just said, ‘What’s up man, I gotta see you.’ I hadn’t even thought about a project at that time. But we kept in touch and later on I told him I’d written some songs with him in mind and did he want to come over and play. They don’t fit anywhere else, not Soulfly, not Sepultura. It wasn’t like I was asking him to join Soulfly, it was something new and fresh. Like a new beginning of our lives. He liked it very much and that’s where we are at the moment."
