Cavalera Conspiracy

All begins on August 17, 2006, when brothers Max and Igor Cavalera were reunited for the first time in 10 years at the 10th annual D-Low Memorial at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ. Igor joined Soulfly on drums for renditions of the Sepultura classics "Attitude" and "Roots Bloody Roots". After this show they decided to form a new band. Cavalera Conspiracy marks the reunion of the Cavalera brothers after 12 years and is the first time they have made music together since the infamous Sepultura break up on December 16th, 1996 in London. Originally, Max wanted to call the project Inflikted, but as the name has been used before it was changed to The Cavalera Conspiracy and then shortened to Cavalera Conspiracy in order to avoid potential legal conflicts which would hold up the album release. The name "Inflikted" was instead used for the band's debut album. The Cavaleras initially asked Jean-Michel Labadie of Gojira to be the bass player of their band, but he was busy with other commitments and Joe Duplantier ended up being the band's bassist.
