Max Cavalera has formed a new band, Go Ahead and Die. The band features also Max Cavalera’s son, Igor Amadeus Cavalera (vocals, guitar, bass), and Zach Coleman on drums. Nuclear Blast has already signed the band, which mixes elements of death and thrash metal, with early Celtic Frost influences and a punk attitude.
Max Cavalera describes Go Ahead and Die as a “one-of-a-kind father/son collaboration bringing the old school with a new attitude! Sick riffs and abrasive lyrics from Igor and brutal drumming from Zach Coleman (Black Curse, Khemmis) inspired me,” he says. “Extreme times call for extreme music!”
Igor Amadeus Cavalera states: “We are beyond excited to sign with Nuclear Blast. They are definitely the right choice for this colossally heavy record. G.A.A.D. will deliver fast-paced, hate-fueled energy that hasn’t been heard in years.”
Zach Coleman adds: “I could not be more excited to be a part of G.A.A.D. and to have the album come out on Nuclear Blast! I feel like we were able to capture (extreme) aggression with the record. It’s a mix of old school (think ’89-era metal/punk) style and newer sounds that reflect what’s going on around us. Protest and survive!”
