Former SEPULTURA frontman Max Cavalera made a guest appearance with MR. BUNGLE during their set at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio on May 17, performing the SEPULTURA classic “Territory.” Fan-filmed footage of this performance is available below.
The current lineup of MR. BUNGLE features original members Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton, and Trey Spruance, along with Scott Ian (ANTHRAX, S.O.D.) and Dave Lombardo (DEAD CROSS, SLAYER, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES).
Patton, along with KORN singer Jonathan Davis featured as guest on the song “Lookaway” which appeared on SEPULTURA‘s classic 1996 album Roots.
In an interview with ARTISTdirect, Max reminisced about collaborating with Patton and Davis during the “Lookaway” sessions.
“Mike Patton was on the song, and Jonathan‘s a huge FAITH NO MORE fan,” Max said. “He was actually freaking out that Patton was there. He was really nervous, which was actually kind of funny. He kept chewing on his hair the whole time he was in the studio. [Producer] Ross Robinson teased him at one point and told him to calm down. [Laughs]”
“‘Lookaway’ came out of a jam,” he continued. “It’s a really heavy riff. Patton started singing this Indian chant, and it gave me goosebumps in the studio when he did that. It was so intense. He showed up in the studio with a Samsonite briefcase. I was like, ‘Mike, what’s up with the briefcase?’ He said, ‘It’s what I need to record.’ It had an echo pedal inside for his voice and a bottle of wine. He opened the wine and we drank it. At one point, the three of us were on the floor of the studio going crazy and making weird noises and sounds. Jonathan took it to another level. He’s singing about people with a fear of p*ssy, which is a crazy concept. It came out as a really cool, obscure song on Roots.”
