Italian thrash-metal legends EXTREMA will join MAX & IGGOR CAVALERA on their one-off Italian show in Milan, November 10th, for the “Max & Iggor Cavalera … Return to Roots” tour. The two former members and founders of SEPULTURA are celebrating the 20 years of “Roots” by playing it in full on their European tour! “Roots” is without doubts considered one of the greatest masterpieces of metal, so far.
EXTREMA released their new effort, “The Old School EP”, on May 27 via Punishment 18 Records. The EP features five tracks originally written during the band’s heyday – primarily unheard as finished recordings until now.
“MAX & IGGOR CAVALERA…RETURN TO ROOTS” Thursday 10 November at Live Club – Trezzo sull’Adda – Milan Gates open: at 8pm EXTREMA at 8:45pm MAX & IGGOR CAVALERA at 9:45pm

Watch the video for the refreshed track “Carcasses”, taken from the EXTREMA’s Old School EP:
The Old School EP embodies the spirit, immediacy and brutality of the years in which its tracks were originally written, accented by fresh, pummelling production. Recorded last year at Fear Studios in Alfonsine (Ravenna, Italy) with The Seed of Foolishness producer Gabry Ravaglia, these tracks do not just prompt the “old school” cliché – they are the real deal – recorded in classic brutal fashion with only minimal writing tweaks.
All five tracks were originally written in 1987, shortly after the release of EXTREMA‘s We Fuckin ‘ Care EP. Only one of these songs saw the light on an album – “Life” was originally released in 1993 on the band’s first full-length album Tension at the Seams. The track has been re-recorded for The Old School EP in addition to tracks the band is known for performing live-only or releasing as raw demos on rare tapes, including “Child Abuse”, the instrumental “M.A.S.S.A.C.R.O”, “Tribal Scream” and “Carcasses”. The idea came to guitarist Tommy Massara while tidying EXTREMA‘s audio archives. He began listening to a tape on which there were no notes or text records of any kind.
In addition to those tracks, “The Old School EP” is featuring two bonus tracks, including live versions of “Life” and Motörhead‘s “Ace of Spades”, both recorded in Rome, Italy.
The Old School EP track listing:
01. Life
02. Carcasses (feat. Ralph Salati of Destrage)
03. Tribal Scream
04. Child Abuse
05. M.A.S.S.A.C.R.O. (feat. Bob Capka, formerly of Vicious Rumours)
06. Life (Live in Rome)
07. Ace of Spades (Live in Rome)

Brazilian heavy metal icons, SEPULTURA, released a special EP titled “Sepultura Under My Skin” last year. Its cover was created around images of different tattoos that the band’s fans sent in. To show their fan base more about the emergence of this release, the fifth part of “Sepultura Under My Skin – The Mediator UK Tour 2015”, edited and directed by D.O. Blackley (Her Name Is Murder Productions), has been launched today. Watch it here:
Last week, SEPULTURA have revealed the title of their upcoming studio album, »Machine Messiah«. Inspired by the robotisation of our society, the album will be released on January 13th via Nuclear Blast Records.
The album was produced by the band and Jens Borgen (SOILWORK, OPETH, KATATONIA, AMON AMARTH) of Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden.

The album was produced by the band and Jens Borgen (SOILWORK, OPETH, KATATONIA, AMON AMARTH) of Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden.
The stunning cover artwork of »Machine Messiah« was created by Filipino artist Camille Della Rosa.
Andreas Kisser states: “I found the work of Camille Della Rosa during some research I was doing to look for alternative artists to work on the cover of our new album. I had the concept in my mind and the name of the album, Machine Messiah, but that didn’t matter much since I was looking for different styles and ideas, different artists. When I saw her paintings I was really impressed by her style, full of colours and meaning, very unique and alive! She comes from the Philippines, a place where we performed some years ago and we could feel the intensity of their culture, very powerful! She has that power in her paintings and drawings!
The main inspiration around Machine Messiah is the robotisation of our society nowadays. The concept of a God Machine who created humanity and now it seems that this cycle is closing itself, returning to the starting point. We came from machines and we are going back to where we came from. The messiah, when he returns, will be a robot, or an humanoid, our bio-mechanical savior.
The painting “Deus Ex-Machina” is a masterpiece! I was really shocked to see how her concept of the painting was a perfect fit to our concept! The cover was done 6 years ago for our new album and she didn’t know it! Neither did I but I’m glad we crossed each others paths. Camille’s work is intense and in your face. We are lucky to have such a great artist working with us, she’s kind and very talented. She brings something new and exciting to a career of 32 years during which amazing artists have created memorable and iconic album covers.
I’m very happy with everything about Machine Messiah, it is a Sepultura album but with a new direction and intensity, a new musical challenge, a step forward! Can’t wait to show the world our music for the new Messiah coming.”
The tracklisting of the new album »Machine Messiah«:
1. Machine Messiah
2. I Am The Enemy
3. Phantom Self
4. Alethea
5. Iceberg Dances
