Max and Igor Cavalera Kick Off Return To Roots Tour

(Metal Hammer) Founding Sepultura members Max and Igor Cavalera are planning to have a stress-free tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band's Roots album.

They hit the road yesterday (September 12) on the Return To Roots tour playing the landmark album in full - and they say having fellow Cavalera Conspiracy members Marc Rizzo and Johny Chow onboard will make for a enjoyable experience.

Igor Cavalera tells Rolling Stone: "For me and Max, it's about having people that we love on the road with us. Marc, he was a massive Sepultura fan from day one, so it's been easy for him, while Johny had to go deep into the record to learn everything. But really, it's about enjoying ourselves, and having a nice time - that's why we chose those two guys to do this with us.

Max adds that an important part of playing live is hooking up with "people we like, and that we can count on" and adds: "When we created Cavalera Conspiracy, that was one of the things we talked about - how can we eliminate the stress factor that was present so many times in our career before and kind of ruined stuff for us.

"I remember being on the road with Roots and being so stressed out, so when the time came to do Cavalera with Igor, I was like, 'Let's have fun. Let's take the stress out of it.'" Read more here.
