"Inflikted" is the debut album from Cavalera Conspiracy, the Cavalera brothers' first record together in 12 years - since the release of "Roots" by Sepultura in 1996.

Album information

Max Cavalera had indicated that the music on "Inflikted" would be similar to Sepultura's early death/thrash-metal recordings but it would also have a heavy hardcore punk influence. In addition to Max and Igor Cavalera, Cavalera Conspiracy also features lead guitarist Marc Rizzo of Soulfly and Joe Duplantier (guitarist and vocalist of Gojira) on bass and backup vocals. Rex Brown from Pantera and Down cameos on bass on one track, and another track features a collaboration with Max's stepson Richie Cavalera (of Incite) on vocals.

Recording for the album took place in July 2007 at Undercity Studios in Los Angeles, with Logan Mader (ex-Soulfly and ex-Machine Head guitarist) of the Dirty Icon Production team.

The album was released on March 24th. Two videos for "Sanctuary" have been made, one of which is a censored version of the other. Both of these can be found on the band's websites.
