CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's worldwide Infliktour has begun. Thus far the band has performed two shows on a string of dates that features both large festivals and small intimate venues.

Keep checking the photo stream at flickr for fan uploaded photos from the tour. A pro-shot video of the performance of 'Sanctuary' at Pinkpop in the Netherlands this afternoon has been uploaded at the festival's official site. Photos were also uploaded here.

Max Cavalera, Iggor Cavalera and Marc Rizzo are joined on the European tour by bass guitarist Johny Chow (of FIREBALL MINISTRY) in place of Joe Duplantier of GOJIRA. Although Joe D. has been playing bass for Cavalera Conspiracy so far, his recording commitments this summer for Gojira's forthcoming fourth studio album unfortunately forced him to have to sit out of the tour. Chow performed his first show with Cavalera Conspiracy at Electric Weekend in Spain on Friday, May 30th.
