In a new interview with Poland's Mystic Festival, former SEPULTURA guitarist/vocalist Max Cavalera reflected on the band's landmark fifth album 'Chaos A.D.' (1993) and its live performances of the record in Europe and North America.

When asked about what it's been like to play the entire album with his brother Igor Cavalera, Max replied: "I think it's the best feeling because we love the material.

We pay tribute to the era.

There's a whole new generation of fans who never got the chance to see the original lineup playing that.

And the band is so killer because you have me and Igor being the older guys, and you have Travis Stone on lead guitar and my son Igor Amadeus Cavalera on bass.

They bring the youth, they bring the energy.

When I look at my sides, they're going fucking nuts, because they love this record." Max also discussed the songwriting process for 'Chaos A.D.', which sonically saw the band transcend from their thrashing death metal aesthetic into a more eclectic output, showcasing groove-oriented paces, incorporating moody riffs, industrial soundscapes and even introducing hardcore punk elements throughout the record.

The album's visual representation was also addressed by Max, who described its conception thusly: "'Chaos A.D.' was commissioned through Michael Whelan, whom we already used on two albums before — 'Beneath The Remains' and 'Arise' — but 'Beneath The Remains' and 'Arise' were already existing paintings, and 'Chaos A.D.' was a brand new painting that was commissioned by us to Michael Whelan to create based on the name of the album.

We gave it to him, and he came up with the body bag with the money upside down and all the electronic stuff going through the body bag and I think it was really cool."
