Max Cavalera on the Jasta Show

In today’s episode of the Jasta show, Jamey Jasta sits down with Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Sepultura, and the Cavalera Conspiracy). They discuss the upcoming Cavalera Conspiracy record, Max's upcoming track with the Acacia Strain, sobriety, upcoming track with the Acacia Strain, the creation of Soulfly, touring with Slayer, the possibility of a Sepultura reunion, and all things Ozzy.

Max on starting Soulfly after Sepultura dissolved: “For five months I was locked in getting wasted on pills and booze. I lost my weapon. Sepultura was my weapon in which I fought the world…people started kicking my ass to get back in the game…Ozzy was one of them…He sat down with me and said if you really want to do it you can…I did it with Sabbath.”

Max on a Sepultura Reunion Show: "“People have been trying to get us to do it. Even Sharon (Osbourne) offered us a lot of money to headline Ozzfest. There has been some offers for promoters for serious money. For me I am worried about the actual event. The actual band. It can go really bad or really good."

Killer Be Killed's debut self titled record is out now on Nuclear Blast.  The Cavalera Conspiracy's new record, Pandemonium is out November 4th on Napalm Records.

THE JASTA SHOW: Randy Blythe of LAMB OF GOD Discusses his New Book, the Czech Republic, Prison, Poetry and Sobriety

In today’s episode of THE JASTA SHOWJamey Jasta sits down with Randy Blythe from Lamb of God. They discuss Gwar B-Q, Dave Brockie, Jello Biafra , staying sober, prison, Randy's love of literature, Randy announces writing his upcoming book, the wall of Death at Ozzfest, and the writing of Redneck.

Randy on sobriety and getting sober on tour: “I was writing about drinking in my book, I address it quite a bit. It stopped working the last night I got drunk. It worked when I got to a place where everything that bothered me was shutdown. I drink because I didn’t like many things about myself and many things about the world. I didn’t want to cope with that.”

Randy on Barricades, what he learned from the events in the Czech Republic, and if there was a life lesson: “No there was no fucking lesson just tragedy. A dead fucking kid. Though I caught a bullet. It was bound to happen to someone. The barricade at that show was non-existent. The security is non-existent. If I were to do it again I would have stopped the show.”

Randy on his book’s subject matter: “Basically in starts the second I am arrested and it will finish at the end of the trial. It will tell day by day exactly what prison was like. Though the events at that story is just the framework that carries the book along and lets me talk about whatever I want to talk about because I go back and forth in time a lot.”

Randy on the book’s writing process: “I have been writing my book for a while but the majority of my book has been written since January. It will be released early part of next year along with the new Lamb of God record…I started writing lyrics for the next record in prison.”

Randy Blythe has an Art Exhibit running May to June 2015 in New York at the Sacred Arts Gallery.
