Max and Igor Cavalera, raw & brutal!

GO AHEAD AND DIE is a raw, urgent, unrelenting, thrillingly shocking, and vibrant new band. It was born from the mind of creative writer and musician Igor Amadeus Cavalera and the bond of blood and music he shares with his dad, extreme metal icon, and Soulfly band leader Max Cavalera. Its tempos are wild, its contempt for modern social ills palpable, its riffs monstrous and captivating. They make angry, spiteful, utterly engaging, spirited extreme music for increasingly extreme times.

The self-titled debut sees Max and Igor splitting guitar and vocalist duties, with utter madman style drumming from Zach Coleman of the blistering Black Curse and critically-acclaimed Khemmis. It sounds like a relic from the glory days of thrash, proto-death metal, and filthy rotten punk, the kind of band that would inspire a teenaged thrasher in 1987 to carve the G.A.A.D. logo into a school desk.

The sessions were captured by engineer Charles Elliot (Abysmal Dawn) and mixed by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cro-Mags, Cavalera Conspiracy). “We wanted it to have that feeling that it’s almost a little dangerous, a little bit on edge,” explains Max. “We weren’t worried about being technical or making stuff sound ‘clean.’ None of that. It was all about unleashing what I like to call ‘caveman riffs.’

“It’s not sophisticated,” he adds, with a hearty laugh. “It’s raw and brutal.”
