Cavalera

Listen | Watch

Out of the dark alleys and dingy streets of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, two brothers spawned a musical revolution that would reshape the very foundations of extreme metal for decades to come. In 1983, Max and Iggor Cavalera were involved in the first wave of blackened thrash metal, a movement of musical intensity that would spark inspiration, imitation, and innovation across the globe over the next forty years. For the young brothers from Brazil, those chaotic upstarts were only the beginning, as here we are in 2024, and nothing has stopped them from pushing the boundaries of their soundscapes into new territories.

As teenagers, their adventurous careers debuted with a four-song EP entitled, “BESTIAL DEVASTATION”. A whirlwind of thrashing speed, demonic terror, and graveyard production. Even more astonishing was the fact that they were between the ages of 14-16 when recording these early songs. Their adolescent angst blazes brightly on these tracks and roars up to an inferno on their first full-length recording, “MORBID VISIONS”. A cult classic in the eyes of beloved speed-freaks. This album is infamous for its unhinged songwriting and guitars that are blatantly out of tune. Despite this record’s unpolished recording, it is still heralded as one of the earliest works of black metal and death metal, revered by peers and fans alike throughout the eras. It wouldn’t be until 1987 that the Cavalera brothers refined their sound, got their guitars in tune, and displayed an adept level of songwriting on their sophomore effort, “SCHIZOPHRENIA”. A testament to thrash metal, still regarded as one of the most maddening records in existence, and in extreme metal, that is the highest form of compliment.

Fast forward through forty years of boundless musical creation, worldwide touring, global spotlighting, and it shows that the Cavalera duo has not slowed down in the slightest. Facing the unthinkable, they revisited these earliest recordings, “BESTIAL DEVASTATION”, “MORBID VISIONS”, and “SCHIZOPHRENIA”, as part of the THIRD WORLD TRILOGY. Bringing these albums back from the dead with a twenty first century production. Many would oppose reimagining such classics, but Max and Iggor have pulled off the impossible, attaining a new level of ferocity with each rerecording, resurfacing their young aggression despite the many years between, and in fact taking the songs to unparalleled levels.

Whether you were around to witness the brothers in their youth, or part of the younger generation now unearthing these classics, you will be enthralled by the quality and passion that they have demonstrated in these revisits. Max is still shrieking like a banshee and ripping his guitar as if he’s possessed by some unholy spirit. Iggor is still thundering his drums, punishing them like the grim reaper himself. Their years of wisdom have unlocked fresh energy to these otherwise sepulchral records.

Their endeavors would not end in the studio though, it seems nothing will slow down the Cavaleras, as they have torn through multiple tours throughout the U.S., Europe, and U.K., bringing the THIRD WORLD TRILOGY to the masses. Enlisting some fresh talent in the form of Travis Stone (Pig Destroyer, Desolus) on lead guitar, and Igor Amadeus Cavalera (Healing Magic, Go Ahead And Die) on bass. The full lineup is well-rounded and tight as can be, a live force not to be reckoned with.

It is truly outstanding to see such charismatic leaders in music like Max and Iggor Cavalera, who have not backed down or given in to the many ups and downs of being a musician. In fact, it seems they have only gotten better and better as time passes, reaching new heights and unthought-of achievements.

From the spectral cemetery of “BESTIAL DEVASTATION” and “MORBID VISIONS” to the asylum vaults of “SCHIZOPHRENIA”, the THIRD WORLD TRILOGY will bring the noise of Brazil’s CAVALERA to every corner of the world.
