Soulfly, etc. frontman/guitarist Max Cavalera has revealed a list of specifically influential albums throughout his life to Teamrock.com. See below for some excerpts:
The album he’d want to be remembered for:
Soulfly – “Soulfly” (1998)
“It was the most difficult album to make and I think because of that, also one of the best. It was like the song ‘No Hope, No Fear‘ – that was kind of my attitude. I had just lost all hope at that time; I’d just been kicked out of Sepultura and I had to start all over again. I was like, ‘I don’t give a fuck any more, I’ve just got to do what I’ve got to do and if people like it, they like it, and if they don’t… fuck them!’”
The album he’d want played at his funeral:
Nailbomb – “Point Blank” (1994)
“It’s just such a pissed-off album! Me and Alex [Newport, Fudge Tunnel] were pissed at everything and decided to make a real fuck the world ‘hate project’. It is one of the most ‘fuck-you’ albums of all time; it aims at everything, and destroys everything. So, that’d be cool – to be remembered as a person who came here to fuck shit up, Nailbomb’s perfect!”
The album he wishes he made:
Black Sabbath – “Sabotage” (1975)
“Right from ‘Symptom Of The Universe‘ – which for me is just the best riff ever invented, ever played; Iommi just rules on that riff – everything on it is just so good. Sabbath were on top of their game when they made that; they had figured out what they wanted to be. Everything is played perfectly, Ozzy’s voice is great… it’s just a great fucking record.”
