  • CAVALERA brothers includes members from Possessed and Soulfly for the upcoming tour

     

    Mike Leon of Soulfly and Daniel Gonzalez from Possessed will be joining

    the Cavalera brothers on stage for the Return Beneath Arise US tour.  

     

    Celebrate with original founding members of influential heavy metal legends and RIAA Gold-Certified Sepultura. Max & Iggor Cavalera will perform a hybrid setlist exclusively of cuts from these two iconic albums Beneath the Remains and Arise.  This tour runs throughout the United States in May and June of 2022.

      

    Since Sepultura's formation over 30 years ago, the Cavalera brothers have each seen unparalleled success in the music industry. Max’s more recent work with Soulfly, Go Ahead And Die, Cavalera Conspiracy (also featuring Iggor) and Killer Be Killed, in addition to Iggor’s projects MIXHELL, Petbrick, and Soulwax, proves the lasting power of the Cavalera legacy.

  • W.A.S.P. at Hammerstein Ballroom 11/16/24

    What a trip on the W.A.S.P. time machine! It was like going back to a time where heavy rock music was on top of everything else, glorious and majestic.

     

    All the classic tunes were played and all the people responded accordantly. Screaming with their fist in the air in front of a band that was energetic and putting up a very good show. 

     

    For me the whole thing was too quick and i was definitely not processing all of the information presented on the stage in my head. Too good to stop and enjoy it but too fast and wanting more of it at once.

     

    Like i said, the time machine worked like a charm and i was transported to another era of heavy metal. 

     

    Glad that had the opportunity to be there capturing W.A.S.P. as they delivered the emotional piece missing from our hearts and minds as we got older.

     

    Come back soon. :)

BODYSNATCHER’s Bleed-Abide puts the “core” back in deathcore.
