SOULFLY / CAVALERA CONSPIRACY frontman Max Cavalera is featured in a new interview with Altsounds.com. An excerpt is available below.

Altsounds: With you and the other members of Soulfly having different projects away from the band, do you think that helps with creativity when you all get back together to write as a band?

Max: "Yeah, I think it adds to it, because the more projects you do the more experience you get, like Marc (Rizzo) does his solo project which is really cool, I really support that. I love his solo albums, they are full of killer guitar playing and a lot of flamenco stuff, and he grows a lot as a player, so when he comes in to do Soulfly he’s more experienced and he’s got more to offer because of doing these solo projects."

Altsounds; You have just finished recording the second CAVALERA CONSPIRACY album. What can you tell us about it?

Max: "It's going to surprise a lot of people. Iggor is playing really fast, a lot of the songs are going to be really fast: they have got that kind of Arise vibe to it, it’s a very adrenaline driven album. The songs are shorter too, they are like a minute and a half to two minutes, which is something I wanted to do to for a long time because I was kind of bored of four to five minute songs; I wanted to take it back to being shorter, and then there’s the song that I mentioned with Roger from AGNOSTIC FRONT. It’s a pretty good album."
