Nuclear Blast recently announced the signing of CAVALERA, the project featuring SEPULTURA‘s founding members Max Cavalera (guitar, vocals) and Igor “Iggor” Cavalera (drums). The first release under the deal will be a re-recording of SEPULTURA‘s first EP “Bestial Devastation” (originally released in 1985) and debut full-length album “Morbid Visions” (1986).
Today, CAVALERA reveal the albums will be released on July 14th via Nuclear Blast Records. They also offer fans the first single “Morbid Visions”. Watch the lyric video for “Morbid Visions” below.
Max comments: “As we get harder year after year, sometimes you’ve got to go back to where it all started! 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 states: “I always felt like the recordings of our earlier work didn’t do justice to the way we performed the songs. 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.”
“Morbid Visions” and “Bestial Devastation” were re-recorded at The Platinum Underground. The albums were produced by Max Cavalera and Igor Cavalera while John Aquilino handled the engineering. Arthur Rizk was responsible for the mixing and mastering of both albums. CAVALERA enlisted Eliran Kantor to create the artwork for both albums.
