Marc Rizzo Speaks On Working With The Cavaleras

SOULFLY guitarist Marc Rizzo has checked in with the following update:

"Happy New Year to everyone.thanks for all the support in 2007. 2008 is going to be off the hook; CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, Soulfly and MARC RIZZO BAND all have new records coming out this year followed by world tours. It's been a dream come true to work with the Cavalera brothers and I know everyone is gonna love these new records. Can't wait to start and see you all on tour in 2008."

As previously reported, Cavalera Conspiracy is the new project featuring SEPULTURA founding members Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor Cavalera (drums), GOJIRA's Joe Duplantier (bass) and Rizzo. They will release their debut album on March 25th, 2008 via Roadrunner Records.

Max and Igor Cavalera are collaborating on new material for the first time in 12 years, since recording Sepultura’s Roots in 1995. This long-anticipated reunion between the Cavalera brothers is something fans across the globe have been clamoring for since Sepultura’s last gig in December 1996. "When Igor, and I met at the 10th Annual D-Low Memorial Show and got the instruments in our hands, it was like we had never been separated. The metal was flowing in our veins,” comments Max. “It was the same in the studio."

Recording took place this past July at Undercity Studios in Los Angeles, with Logan Mader (ex-MACHINE HEAD guitarist). Among the 11 songs set to appear are: 'Inflikted', 'Bloodbrawl', 'Holy Poison', 'The Doom Of All Fires', 'Ultra-Violent' and 'My Sanctuary'. A b-side cover of the POSSESSED death/thrash classic 'The Exorcist' was also recorded.
