Impact recently caught up with Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera, who discussed the latest tour, rediscovering older songs in the band's catalogue, Slayer's retirement, his lack of a retirement plan, and more.
Cavalera: "The whole Slayer thing. I don't understand how they do it (retirement). I want to play forever. I don't have a retirement plan. I don't know what to do if I'm not playing music. If I'm not playing, creating, I go nuts, literally, I go insane. But, that's them. They're doing it. Good for them. I'm happy. They're a really great band, influenced a lot of people. They created a lot of great music. That's how they want to go out, but there's always going to be newer bands coming up. There's a whole gang of new bands.
I like a lot of the heavier stuff in America right now like Genocide Pact, Gatecreeper. There's good music all the time. It'd be a change of the guard. I'm happy that we still have Iron Maiden; we still have Judas Priest; we still have Saxon. Some of those bands are still holding up. To me, that's cool. That's exciting."
On July 20th, Philip Anselmo & The Illegals performed at the Dynamo Metalfest in Eindhoven, Netherlands. During their set, they were joined by Soulfly's Max Cavalera for Pantera's classic "Walk". Check out the video below.
