A final decision has been reached in favor of Max Cavalera in the ongoing libel case filed in Brazil by Cavalera’s former sister-in-law.

The former wife of Cavalera’s brother Igor alleged that Cavalera defamed her in his 2014 autobiography, My Bloody Roots. Cavalera was initially ordered to pay a sum to the plaintiff, who then wrongfully claimed to have won the case before the final judgment was made.

“It feels great to put this case behind me,” Cavalera says. “It was very frustrating knowing I had always been honest about the events of my life, even the negative times.  I am grateful to the courts in Brazil for seeing the truth in this matter and letting justice prevail.”
Cavalera won every appeal, the case is considered “res judicata,” meaning it cannot be changed, and Cavalera is released from any obligation toward the plaintiff. Additionally, due to baselessly filing multiple appeals, Cavalera’s lawyer petitioned the court to penalize the plaintiff. As a result, the plaintiff will now have to pay a fine of one percent of the total amount she asked for from Cavalera.
Cavalera was represented in this case by Daniela Pasqua of Pasqua Sociedade de Advogados.

METAL ALLEGIANCE began as a celebration of heavy metal, powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community’s most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage (and off) that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself. Their upcoming, sophomore album, »Volume II – Power Drunk Majesty«, will be released via Nuclear Blast Entertainment on September 7th, 2018.

Today, the band releases its second single, “Voodoo Of The Godsend” featuring Max Cavalera. Watch the music video here:

Mark Menghi comments, “Voodoo turned out to be a tribal crusher a-la some other influential tribal metal band that we all know and love whom once featured Max. We live in a world of way too much bullshit and hate these days… and as our drummer would say; it’s nice to have a step towards World Peace.”

Alex Skolnick comments, “One of the most distinct tracks on our new album (and indeed, in the entire MA catalogue), ‘Voodoo’ has a hypnotic feel with indigenous percussion, bringing to mind a ritual in the rainforest. We’re grateful to have the ultimate voice for this track, with a sound that’ll ll never be mistaken for anyone else: Max Cavalera.”

Pre-order »Volume II – Power Drunk Majesty« digitally and receive ‘Voodoo Of The Godsend’ and ‘Mother Of Sin’ instantly or stream the song: http://nblast.de/MAVoodooOfTheGodsend

Tomorrow, join METAL ALLEGIANCE’s Alex Skolnick, Mark Menghi, and Gary Holt at Duff’s Brooklyn for the “Lager Of Sin” launch party!

DISCHARGE are set to release their new album ‘End Of Days’ on April 29th via Nuclear Blast. The band’s career has spanned an epic 40 years so it’s no surprise they have influenced quite a few bands along the way. One musician who is known for his love of the band is SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera. We spoke to Max about how he discovered Discharge’s music and how they have influenced him musically – watch the interview here:

Check out the lyric video of the new single “Hatebomb” here:

The band commented on the track:
“No thought provoking lyrics on this song, just 2 minutes and 8 seconds of anger, play it loud”.

Ashmedi, mainman for pioneers of Sumerian thrashing black metal, MELECHESH, talks the latest single, ‘Lost Tribes’ and working with metal legend Max CAVALERA in a new video trailer, check it out below.

The follow-up to 2010’s masterpiece “The Epigenesis”, entitled “Enki” marks the band’s sixth full-length album and will feature iconic guests Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, KILLER BE KILLED), Sakis Tolis (ROTTING CHRIST) and Rob Caggiano (VOLBEAT, ex-ANTHRAX). The release of »Enki« is scheduled for February 27 (EU), March 2 (UK) and March 10 (US), via Nuclear Blast.

The band recently released the official lyric video for ‘Lost Tribes’ feat. Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, KILLER BE KILLED). The song comes off the band’s upcoming album, »Enki«.

Recently the band released the first album trailer for »Enki«. Check it out here:

Commented singer, songwriter and mainman Ashmedi: “I am flattered and honored to have esteemed guests appear on this multifaceted album. »Enki« solicited different approaches and new experiences. Max is a lion – I love his voice and the tribal and historic parallels of our lives are uncanny, he did an amazing job on ‘Lost Tribes’. Sakis is an old friend and we toured together in the past. His voice added another dimension of mysticism on our ‘Enki – Divine Nature Awoken’. Rob and I always wanted to collaborate and he is an agile and excellent guitar
player so the lead he did on ‘The Palm, the Eye and Lapis Lazuli’ was perfect , it rocks and serves the track well. They all did an outstanding job and went above and beyond to make it happen despite their busy schedules. MELECHESH is more than a band – it is a society!”

Added Caggiano: “I’ve been a fan of MELECHESH for a while now and it was an honour for me to play a solo on their new album!! These guys sound like nothing else out there!”

Extreme metal connaisseur Max Cavalera explains: “I was very honored that MELECHESH asked me to sing on their new album! I’m a big fan and I think »The Epigenesis« is on of the greatest extreme metal records ever done! I love the fact that they come from a different part of the world like me. So our worlds finally collide! Long live MELECHESH!”

Tells ROTTING CHRIST mainman Sakis Tolis: “When I was told that our brother band MELECHESH would record their upcoming album in my hometown, I immediately picked up the phone and called Ashmedi to participate somehow. Ashmedi responded positively so I was ready to raise some serious hell… It is very interesting since we are sharing the same Mediteranean mentality as individuals. I believe this new album is one of the most unique and atmospheric metal albums I have heared the last years. Ashmedi took me to their majestic oriental path and showed me the way to tne new Babylon. I am definitely proud working with the Kings of Fire and I really recommend to check the new MELECHESH album – it is really good!”

The album was recorded in Greece by Giorgos Bokos (ROTTING CHRIST) while Jonas Kjellgren (IMMORTAL, LEGION OF THE DAMNED, OVERKILL, HYPOCRISY) took care of the mix and mastering in his renowned Black Lounge Studios in Sweden. Drums were recorded at Devasoundz Studio with Fotis Benardo (ex-SEPTICFLESH, ex-NIGHTRAGE)

Enki track list:

01. Tempest Temper Enlil Enraged
02. The Pendulum Speaks
03. Lost Tribes (featuring Max Cavalera)
04. Multiple Truths
05. Enki – Divine Nature Awoken (featuring Sakis Tolis)
06. Metatron And Man

08. Doorways To Irkala
09. The Outsiders

On Enki the band opted to feature 12-string electric guitars along with 6 strings, for a heavier and subtly richer harmonic sound. The band also tuned their instruments to the 432 Hz frequency rather than the standardized 440 Hz one, for a deeper sonic experience within the human psyche and in accordance to vibrations of the universe (http://attunedvibrations.com/432hz/).
