Max Cavalera - "new material makes ‘Dark Ages' sound like a pop album"

The Gauntlet spoke with Max Cavalera (Soulfly, ex-Sepultura vocalist) today. When Max was asked about recording new material, he stated "I have some really exciting songs. I was working with Mark Rizzo, my guitar player. We get along great and love a lot of the same stuff. Bands like early Sepultura, Slayer, Destruction. We also like a lot of grindcore like Napalm Death and Bolt Thrower. We have been writing some stuff like that. We also have some material with a Soulfly vibe and the Soulfly grooves. One thing I like about Soulfly is we have the grooves in between the heavy parts. There are no names yet. I have been joking though as the new material makes ‘Dark Ages' sound like a pop album. This new stuff is pretty heavy."

Max went on to talk about the recent onstage reunion with Igor Cavalera and where a Sepultura reunion stands. To read the interview, click here.
