About

Cavalera Conspiracy is a Brazilian-American heavy metal supergroup from Phoenix, Arizona, founded by Brazilian brothers Max (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Igor Cavalera (drums, percussion), who are widely known as former members of Sepultura and are the only two constant members of the band. The band formed in 2007 as Inflikted, but changed its name for legal reasons. The group's creation marked the end of a 10-year feud between the Cavalera brothers who founded Sepultura in the early 1980s. In 2022, they adopted the name Cavalera in order to release re-recorded editions of classic Sepultura albums in 2023.

Following the brothers' falling out, Max Cavalera formed a new band, Soulfly, and Igor recorded four studio albums with Sepultura before leaving the band in January 2006. In July 2006, Max received an unexpected call from his brother. By the end of the conversation, Max had invited Igor to visit him in Phoenix, Arizona, to perform in a Soulfly show. Igor joined Soulfly in concert and performed two Sepultura songs. After the show, Max suggested they begin a new project, and Igor accepted. To complete the band, Max chose Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo and Joe Duplantier of Gojira as bassist. The group recorded their debut album at Undercity Studios in Los Angeles with engineer and co-producer Logan Mader in July 2007. Named after the band's original moniker, Inflikted was released through Roadrunner Records on March 25, 2008. Cavalera Conspiracy has released three more albums since then: Blunt Force Trauma (2011), Pandemonium (2014) and Psychosis (2017).

Cavalera Conspiracy est un groupe de heavy metal américain, originaire de Phoenix, dans l'Arizona. Il est formé par les frères brésiliens Cavalera : Max au chant et à la guitare, et Igor Cavalera à la batterie. Le groupe est complété par le guitariste Marc Rizzo et le bassiste Johny Chow. Cavalera Conspiracy se forme en 2007 en tant qu'Inflikted, nom qui doit être modifié à la suite de conflits juridiques. La création du groupe marque la fin d'une querelle de 10 ans entre les deux frères Cavalera, qui avaient déjà fondé Sepultura au début des années 1980.

Max forme Soulfly après son départ de Sepultura. Son frère Igor enregistre quatre autres albums studio avec Sepultura avant de quitter le groupe à son tour en janvier 2006. Quelques mois plus tard, Max propose à son frère d'effectuer un concert de Soulfly. Igor rejoint alors Soulfly en concert et interprète deux chansons de Sepultura. Après le concert, Max et Igor décident de commencer un nouveau projet. Pour compléter le groupe, Max recrute Marc Rizzo à la guitare solo et Joe Duplantier, chanteur de Gojira, à la guitare basse. Le groupe enregistre son premier album, Inflikted, avec l'aide du coproducteur Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head) en juillet 2007. L'album tire son titre du nom original du groupe.
