PyroMusic.net has posted a new interview with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY / SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera online. Check out an excerpt below:
Goreripper: Congratulations on the new album Max. It's really a good listen.
Max Cavalera: "Thank you man, appreciate that. We're getting very excited. To me, this is the hardest part of making a record. The weeks before the release. Because you did everything you wanted to do. Which is why I'm doing interviews, because otherwise you want to kill somebody! The waiting just kills you, man. But I'm very excited. I've been talking to my brother... I was in New York with Iggor a couple of weeks ago and I can see in his eyes that he's very happy that we play together. It's amazing man, really cool. I was really hoping that things would turn out better, and they did you know? Because for a long time I didn't talk to him, and it was very hard on him and me and the family and my mother and the fans even, around the world. But we made it through and we got an album out of it and we are very proud of it and we can't wait to tour."
Goreripper: That was one of the things I was going to ask you about, because obviously there was a lot of bitterness there for a while. What was it like working with Iggor again after all that time?
Max Cavalera: "Honestly it was very easy... it got back to where it was. When Iggor and I are in the room... it's like, with our instruments... everything disappears. It's quite amazing. The only thing that matters is the music and what we are doing. Nothing else even bugs us. It's quite a strong feeling. I myself, I was worried... well not worried but kinda curious. Would that still be there when we do this again? Would the feeling still be there? Would it be weird? We had these questions. But it wasn't weird at all! It was completely back. Not just back, but more hungry, more excited and more appreciative of each other. I still play the guitar with four strings and he still hits the drums with the upside-down drumsticks! We still play the same way we did 10 years, 15 years ago."
