Posted on by

Metal legend Max Cavalera, famous for his many bands such as founding Sepultura, Soulfly, Nailbomb, Cavalera Conspiracy, and Killer Be Killed and more has announced the launch of “Max Trax”, a twice-weekly Internet video series in which he will discuss the inspiration for many of the songs spanning his nearly 40-year music career. Cavalera shared the news of his online project in a video message posted to Soulfly social media earlier today.

(transcribed by Blabbermouth.net): “What’s up, everybody? Max Cavalera here, SOULFLY tribe. I’m announcing the launch of ‘Max Trax’. It’s a very raw way that I’m gonna go through all the songs I recorded all my life — all the riffs; ‘riff vortex.’ So I’m gonna explain how the riff was created, I’m gonna explain where the idea came for the riff, I’m gonna talk about the lyrics. I’m gonna dissect in a very raw way — nothing high technology, none of that bullshit. It’s gonna be all done here [at home], with my equipment that I always record with; a drum machine. I’m gonna tell you what the inspiration for the songs come from, all the way back from ‘Funeral Rites’, ‘Morbid Visions’, going through everything — ‘Refuse/Resist’, ‘Propaganda’, fucking ‘Roots Bloody Roots’, ‘Eye For An Eye’, ‘Jump Da Fuck Up’. All of them have amazing, cool stories. You guys are gonna love it. I promise you it’s gonna be so fucking fun and cool and exciting. And I’ll play along, if you wanna learn how to play those songs too.”

 

“So I’m gonna be doing this every Tuesday and every Saturday — it’s gonna be a different song every Tuesday and every Saturday — around two o’clock, more or less, West Coast time. The first one I’m doing is ‘Eye For An Eye’ with the original lyrics that you guys don’t know; I had different lyrics for it. It’s gonna be really, really fun; it’s gonna be really cool. I can’t wait to share this with you. So watch out for ‘Max Trax’ coming at you. We’re gonna enjoy. The shit’s gonna be fucking awesome. Fuck shit up! Max Cavalera. Stay metal.”
