CAVALERA has become synonymous with extreme metal music, a name that to this day still holds the highest regard, a family legacy built upon decades of musical aggression. In 2023, Max and Iggor Cavalera achieved what some would say was an impossible feat; they revisited their earliest releases, Morbid Visions, and Bestial Devastation, and re-recorded them with bone-breaking intensity. A risk that few would dare to even attempt, yet they artfully and prolifically attained their trademark raw sound by means that could only be described as magic or time travel.
It seems that the ball would not stop rolling as now they are entering the final chapter of their early-days trilogy. Schizophrenia is an iconic album in terms of early thrash and death metal, a household name for those of us invested in extreme metal. This was the point where the Cavaleras refined their dark, dingy, speed-influenced songs, into something a bit more mature, developed, and technical. Decades later, they have once more unlocked the asylum that is Schizophrenia, opening the doors to that banished, twisted recording which will be unleashed unto to world on June 21st, 2024 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Max Cavalera states, "The Third World Trilogy is finally complete with Schizophrenia, Bestial Devastation, and Morbid Visions, all three Brazilian underground gems! To me, Schizophrenia is the ultimate death/ thrash experiment! I was inspired to take on the world and this recording shows my commitment is relentless! This one is for all the generations to enjoy! Play at Max volume!"
Iggor Cavalera comments, “1987 was a very progressive year for metal, with releases like CELTIC FROST Into The Pandemonium, VOIVOD Killing Technology, and BATHORY Under The Sign Of The Black Mark, so it was no surprise on how we approached Schizophrenia pushing our boundaries from a black/death metal sound to a more thrash metal aesthetics. We still had some ideas from Morbid Visions and some new songs. I’m very proud of the songwriting and even more proud of our re-recordings.”
Schizophrenia will be available digitally and in the following formats:
- CD Jewel
- Light Blue Cassette (Ltd to 500)
- Sky Blue and Black Marbled Vinyl (Ltd to 600)
- Transparent Curacao Vinyl
Schizophrenia track list:
1. From The Past Comes The Storms
2. To The Wall
3. Escape To The Void
4. Inquisition Symphony
5. Screams Behind The Shadows
6. Septic Schizo
7. The Abyss
8. R.I.P. (Rest In Pain)
9. Nightmares of Delirium (New, never before heard track)
No stranger to collaborations, the Cavalera brothers enlisted Travis Stone (PIG DESTROYER) on lead guitars, and that choice becomes obvious within the first song. The full lineup would consist of more Cavalera alumni, as Igor Amadeus Cavalera (GO AHEAD AND DIE, HEALING MAGIC) once more brought his talents on bass to the fold. Thundering and thrumming the low end with brute force, it is clear that the double Iggor and Igor combination is a rhythm section to be reckoned with.
It should come as no surprise that the CAVALERA brothers always felt that these songs deserved a fresh take with modern production. From April 15th to June 5th, 2023 the band re-recorded the album at Focusrite Room in Mesa Arizona. Mixing and mastering was handled by Arthur Rizk (SOULFLY, GO AHEAD AND DIE, TURNSTILE).
Schizophrenia’s album cover has obsessed and fascinated fans for decades. The brothers left no stone unturned and no detail unnoticed, also revisioning the original cover artwork of the album, restored in hand-painted watercolors by Eliran Kantor.
CAVALERA is:
Max Cavalera | Vocals, Guitar
Iggor Cavalera | Drums, Percussion
Igor Amadeus Cavalera | Bass
Travis Stone | Lead Guitar

I was wrong, I thought they were going to do all the classic albums when this first got announced. Turns out they only wanna do Morbid Visions, Bestial Devastation and Schizophrenia. If that's the case then fair enough, but people will come back to this video if we see Beneath the Remains, Arise and Chaos AD re-recorded in the future.

I think schizophrenia is totally different from Bestial and Morbid. To me, is more connected to Arise, as Chaos is the first glimpse of Roots.

[@swordman6827]

Cavalara brothers are bad asses

[@ssmith87]

I’m with a lot of you who love the original recording. But even when I got into this band in the early 90s, I was always curious as to what the songs would really sound like if they had an updated version or a re-recording. I don’t care if it’s for money. I’m sure that at the time when they were recording schizophrenia, the songs probably sounded so much better in person when they were rehearsing and playing them and that Was the best they could do as far as technology wise for recording the album & I’m sure it never really did sit well with them. So after hearing Escape to the Void & Troops of Doom I have to say it’s pretty damn impressive and there’s a different level of energy and intensity to the songs.

[@jameshetfield1792]

Though i love Schizophrenia analogue sound..it lacks the punchy bass drum and full bass guitar sound ( morbid vision is better imo) . Thx Cavalera for realising my wish to hear those songs rerecorded with better production..love the ETTV sound..cant wait to listen to the full album esp my fav song..screams behind the shadow

No Cavalera No Sepultura! Re-record those albums

[@caseycbenn]

Don't care about the naysayers... if there are any.... I've always wished the 1st three Sepultura records could have had better production. Once you get to Beneath the Remains, Arise, and Chaos A.D. you can clearly hear a vast production quality difference. These re-recorded albums server two great purposes. 1. They get to revisit the most nostalgic material possible and make them much better, and in all honesty there is potential to make them worse, but here they are definitely better. 2. Max and Igor can get the larger percentage of the proceeds from the sales of the new recordings from their own artistry in a way the recording industry should have ALWAYS compensated artists in the first place. I fully support these re-recorded albums for even that reason alone. Thankfully... they are really much better imo. Max's riffs and Igor's drumwork are on far better display here and I celebrate that.

I would love to hear how you guys would re-record Beneath the Remains, Arise, Chaos A.D., and Roots, but I'd imagine Roadrunner Records owns the rights to those and wouldn't be cool with that, not to mention those albums still hold up super well so you may not even feel the need to redo em.

[@ReverendPONT]

Beneath The Remains redone would be cool. The production was improved for it but still middle of the road with what came after. Arise and what followed would be hard to improve on those recordings.

But... seriously... this is a virtue and not a vice. The record companies from the 80s/90s were so shitty with their 8% profits that the band members have to split between them. Fucking abuse in my opinion. Always has been. Re-recording the songs just means we get better versions AND Max and Igor finally get compensated in a way they always should have been in the 1st place for such great artistry.
