In a talk with AMNplify, Max Cavalera talked about the good old times when music was more romantic – go dreaming… hahahahahah. Take a look:
“On this album, we have the great Randy Blythe [Lamb of God] – doesn’t need any introduction. He’s a great guy from a great band. I like Randy very much – I like his style, I like his vibe.
“I read his book – a really interesting book. It was really cool that he lent his vocals for ‘Dead Behind the Eyes;’ he made the song even more interesting, more exciting.”
“And then Ross [Dolan] from Immolation. That’s my old personal love of death metal, man, that I have from the beginning when I used to tapetrade with Chuck [Schuldiner] from Death.”
“It never went away. I loved death metal my whole life. And having Ross on the album means so much to me because I’m a big fan and I’m a big Immolation fan. And I wrote that song [‘Under Rapture’] for him especially, for him to sing, and he killed it, man – his vocals are just brutal and amazing.”
“Especially when he’s saying ‘rapture,’ it’s earth-shattering. I f*cking love it, man. I love collaborations. I love the fact that two guys from two different bands are on ‘Ritual.’
“I love them both, and I think it’s great… I still wanna do stuff with different people. Henry Rollins would be cool, or [Glenn] Danzig. Even Bruce Dickinson, to me, would be classic.”
“Or even Brian Johnson, if [he decided] to come back and sing again, would be great. I’m a big AC/DC fan as well. I would love to have Angus Young on a track, man. That be the f*cking ultimate for me; that would be really cool.”
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
