In a recent interview conducted by Scott Itter of Dr. Music, SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera, was asked about whether he has listened to any of the SEPULTURA albums released after he left the band.
“I haven’t,” he responded. “It’s like… People say if you break up with your wife and she marries somebody else, you don’t really go on Facebook and go see what they’re doing. [You keep your] distance. I feel kind of like that. So I have no interest. I’ve got a lot of stuff to keep me busy. It’s a fair question, and I’m sure a lot of people wonder about that, but, yeah, I haven’t [heard anything].”
Max previously discussed whether he has listened to any of the music SEPULTURA recorded after his departure from the group nearly three decades ago in an interview with Sticks For Stones. He said at the time: “F**k no! I don’t give a s**t about SEPULTURA or what they’re doing. I just heard from fans that people don’t like their albums, and they’re sh*tty, and the band’s just going down and down, and, I don’t know…
“I really can’t care, can’t care less what they’re doing. It don’t concern me at all. I’ve got my things going, and, for me, it’s just so sad to see a band that was so important and special in the ’90s turn to s**t like that so fast. But whatever, that’s what they’re doing. But I’ve got my things, I’ve got my things to do, and I’m proud of what I did with them. We did great records and we did cool stuff, and that’s there forever, and I’ll leave it at that.”
Max left the band in 1996 after the rest of the band split with his wife Gloria as their manager. His brother, Igor, stuck around with the group for another 10 years before leaving SEPULTURA and re-teaming with Max in CAVALERA CONSPIRACY.
