SEPULTURA founding members and brothers Max and Igor Cavalera have confirmed that they are collaborating on new music for the first time in more than 10 years. According to reports, the material will be released as a completely new project, separate from Max's work in SOULFLY.

Jose Mangin of Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack just returned from Phoenix, Arizona where he visited Max at his home and got a chance to hear some of the music that has been written for this new band.

The material, which has been described by Mangin as "sick"-sounding, may include guest appearances by members of NAPALM DEATH and SOULFLY guitarist Marc Rizzo, although this has not yet been confirmed.

Igor Cavalera left SEPULTURA in June 2006 due to "artistic differences." He has since been replaced by Jean Dolabella (ex-UDORA).

Igor's departure from SEPULTURA came five months after he announced that he was taking a break from the group's touring activities to spend time with his second wife and their new son (who was born in January 2006). Filling in on drums during the band's spring 2006 European tour with IN FLAMES was Roy Mayorga, who played with Max in SOULFLY for several years in the late '90s and again in 2001-2003.

Max Cavalera left SEPULTURA in December 1996 after the rest of the band fired his wife Gloria as the group's manager.

hmm

It is nice to see them collaborating again. Marc (rizzo), said it is pretty good stuff so far, very heavy and way different from either Sepultura or Soulfly.

something tells me not to expect another "Arise" or "Beneath the Remains"

i'll actually be shocked if this doesn't suck

weird, this LOOKS like a news story, but it wasn't marked as one.

Ya know I feel like I'm supposed to be excited about this. But given the music that each of them had been responsible for over the last like 10 years....... I don't think it's worth my time.

I heard they're talking to Andreas and Paulo Jr for a possible reunion a the end of the year, although Paulo refuses to let Derrick go, hopefully it happens.

most likely will be nu metal

fairly recently there was an interview with i believe Paulo Jr. and he said "no fucking way". i mean everyone has their price, but he was pretty adamant about it.

If I remember correctly he said that Max hasn't talked to him in like 9 years, and why the hell would he want to play music with someone like that. I don't blame him.

i couldn't care less. "chaos ad" did not age well and that was the last decent record.

"arise" and everything before still rules though.

He's right but Andreas really wants to make it happen. I guess he's somehow sick of this line-up.

Fucking awesome. I am dying for a nu-metal letdown. Dude, those riffs are gonna be sooo sick and phat - no wait - fuckin sick and PHATTT!

Name of this project is called "Inflikted" - ugh.

It might happen in a distant future, hopefully :(

Consider that, from the perspective of the crap these guys have been doing lately, a "hardcore/punk direction" could just mean old-school thrash/death. From a certain point of view.

Personally, I'd rather see Igor keep playing with Necro than make more crap nu-metal.
