Former Sepultura members, brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, are currently in the process of re-recording and releasing updated versions of two classic Sepultura albums, 1985's Bestial Devastation EP and 1986 full-length debut, Morbid Visions, under the Cavalera Conspiracy banner. Having already released the first single, the updated Morbid Visions title track, the brothers discussed the significance of re-recording this material in a new video.
"As we get harder year after year, sometimes you've got to go back to where it all started!" Max Cavalera said. "We re-recorded Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions with the amazing sound of NOW, but with its raw and timeless spirit. The artwork reflects the times we're living in right now…. Apocalyptic as hell! We also have two new tracks with riffs from those days, remembered by heart."
Igor holds the same energy as his brother, reiterating that he felt the classic recordings did not do the songs themselves justice.
"I always felt like the recordings of our earlier work didn't do justice to the way we performed the songs," he said. "So, this is a very special moment in our lives that we are very proud to show you real fans our true representation of the amazing records Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions with an insane visual identity… Enjoy and see you all in the pit."
