Cavalera Conspirancy is the new project featuring Sepultura founding members Max (guitar, vocals) and Igor Cavalera (drums) alongside vocalist Joe Duplantier (bass) of the French progressive death metallers Gojira and Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo. Entitled "Inflikted", the CD will be released in North America on March 25, 2008 via Roadrunner Records (one day earlier internationally). Rex Brown (Pantera, Down) makes a cameo bass appearance on one track. Another song is a collaboration between Max, Joe and Richie Cavalera (Incite) on vocals.

This long-anticipated reunion between the Cavalera brothers is something fans across the globe have been waiting for since Sepultura's last gig at Brixton Academy in December 1996. Hailing from Belo Horizonte in central Brazil, Sepultura gained a legendary reputation as the one of the most highly regarded and successful death/thrash metal bands of all time, with two gold albums under their belts both in the UK and the USA — "Chaos A.D." (1994) and "Roots" (1996).

"When Igor and I met at the 10th annual D-Low Memorial Show [in 2006] and got the instruments in our hands, it was like we had never been separated. The metal was flowing in our veins," Max previously said. "It was the same in the studio."

Recording took place this past July at Undercity Studios in Los Angeles, with rising production star Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head/Soulfy guitarist). A b-side cover of the Possessed death/thrash classic "The Exorcist" was also recorded.

"Inflikted" final track listing:

01. Inflikted
02. Sanctuary
03. Terrorize (formerly "Holy Poison")
04. Black Ark
05. Ultra-Violent
06. Hex
07. The Doom Of All Fires
08. Bloodbrawl
09. Nevertrust
10. Hearts Of Darkness
11. Must Kill

The debut single from the album will be "Sanctuary" and it will go for radio adds on March 3.

Cavalera Conspiracy is currently in Paris, France filming promotional material for the debut album. The band will be in Paris for the video filming and photo session until January 15. Artwork for the album will also be finalized during this meeting of the band.
