Max Cavalera

Max Cavalera (birth name Massimiliano Antonio Cavalera) is the vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and frontman for the band Cavalera Conspiracy. Cavalera was born on August 4, 1969 and he is 55 years old. He and his brother Igor formed Cavalera Conspiracy in 2007, 11 years after he exited from Sepultura.

Background and formation of Cavalera Conspiracy
Max Cavalera exited out of Sepultura in August 1996 following dispute and betrayal with other members, including guitarist Andreas Kisser and even his brother Igor, which would not see each other for ten years. A year later, he formed the band Soulfly, which has since released eleven albums.

Igor Cavalera exited out of Sepultura in January 2006. This opens up the opportunity of Max meeting him for the first time in 10 years and even getting back together to make more music. Max received a call from Igor six months later to invite him to do an annual memorial show for a ten-year anniversary of Dana Wells' death. Igor was thinking of joining Soulfly on drums, but the after-feelings from the show made Max to suggest to start the own project. In 2007, they recruited Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo and Gojira vocalist Joe Duplantier on bass and co-vocals and formed the band Inflikted which was renamed to Cavalera Conspiracy.

Career
On March 24, 2008, Cavalera Conspiracy release their first album, Inflikted, the first release by both Max and Igor since  in 1996. Two months after the release, they embark on their first tour, called Infliktour. During the tour Johnny Chow replaced bassist Joe Duplantier because Gojira was working on their new album. In October 2009, Max and Igor announced plans to work on their second album together. The title of the second album was Blunt Force Trauma, released on March 29, 2011. In September 2013 Max Cavalera revealed his desire to make a Cavalera Conspiracy album with a new genre — grindcore and would be solely of Max and Igor. It was proven false that bassist Nate Newton of joined the group and released their third album Pandemonium on Halloween 2014. Three years later on November 17, 2017, Cavalera Conspiracy released their fourth album Psychosis.
