More about Cavalera:
As the thrashers from Brazil kick back into their aggressive, primal upbringings, it becomes apparent that the bond between Max on guitar and vocals, and Iggor on drums has only been strengthened immensely since their first recordings, a connection so thunderous that only those two could be creating it.
Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation were re-recorded at The Platinum Underground. The albums were produced by Max Cavalera and Iggor Cavalera while John Aquilino handled the engineering. Arthur Rizk was responsible for the mixing and mastering of both albums.
Cavalera enlisted Eliran Kantor to create the artwork for both albums. Max Cavalera comments, “As we get harder year after year, sometimes you’ve got to go back to where it all started! We re-recorded Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions with the amazing sound of NOW, but with its raw and timeless spirit. The artwork reflects the times we’re living in right now…. Apocalyptic as hell! We also have two new tracks with riffs from those days, remembered by heart.”
Staying true to the raw, discordant energy of the early days, the tracks are delivered like punch after punch, authentically reminiscent of the chaotic live-shows of the eighties as Max wails through Morbid Visions and Iggor slams through “Troops Of Doom.” The quartet has captured the graveyard essence of these albums with a fresh wind, demonstrating from start to finish that Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation will once again wake the dead from their crypt.
