Soulfly’s Max Cavalera video interview in Sacramento

Soulfly’s Max Cavalera video interview in Sacramento!

Capital Chaos conducted an interview with Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, ex-Sepultura) when Soulfly performed at The Boardwalk in Orangevale, California on October 3, 2009. During the chat, which can be viewed below, Max addresses criticism from Blabbermouth.net users regarding his dreadlocks (watch around the 3:50 mark in the clip below).

As previously reported, Max can now be reached via TheLiveLine, a service launched by Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine that enables musicians to connect to their audience over the phone. Get updates on Max and leave messages for him by calling (888) 716-5450.

Regarding the songwriting process for the next Soulfly album, Max said in a recent interview, "I am working on new songs with Marc [Rizzo, guitar], a little bit. We're thinking about making the songs a little shorter, so if you can imagine maybe a little bit like Minor Threat mixed with [Slayer's] 'Reign In Blood' mixed with Soulfly, with still some world music, but much smaller, and the songs not so long — shorter. It'll be more aggressive than [last year's] 'Conquer' [album] even, because it'll be shorter — it'll be like when Slayer did 'Reign In Blood', [that] kind of thing. I don't know why some interviewers talked to me and said that they thought that the album was gonna be less aggressive, more like [2000's] 'Primitive', which I don't know where it came from, because I never said that. In fact, I just started working on the album on this tour, so it's only been a month. But this is the official news right now — it's gonna be more aggressive, faster, shorter."
