FESTIVAL REVIEW: Max Cavalera Dynasty Show ft. Soulfly – Nailbomb – Incite – Go Ahead and Die – Healing Magic – Jade Helm and More Live at The Marquee Theater
Nailbomb. NAILBOMB. It feels hard to believe that I got to see Nailbomb’s first show since 1995, but here we are. Max Cavalera is in at least six bands, has worked with at least a dozen more, and performed with three of those during the first-ever Max Cavalera Dynasty Show (MCDS) – Soulfly, Nailbomb, and Go Ahead and Die (GAAD). Max’s son, Igor, almost performed in three bands that night (Nailbomb, GAAD, Healing Magic), and Igor’s girlfriend Jackie Cruz performed in both GAAD and Jade Helm. Max’s other son, Richie, is the frontman for Incite, who also played. So, six Cavalera Dynasty bands, with four local bands opening the show – Six Million Dead, Shadow Guilt, Ocean Harvest, and Zherra.
