Go Ahead and Die marks the sixth distinct project from metal legend Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura, Soulfly, Nailbomb, Cavalera Conspiracy, Killer Be Killed), and like many of his others, is again a family affair BUT Igor Amadeus Cavalera, one of Max’s sons, is theigor-amadeus-cavalera-go-ahead-and-die-interview-2021/” target=”_blank”>brainchild behind Go Ahead and Die – a punk/hardcore/thrash/death metal beast that roars with their frustration at the state of the world. Recorded at a remote mountain property in Arizona, the duo wrote riffs and lyrics while watching horror movies. Drummer Zach Coleman only adds to the chaos with a blistering drum style that invokes raw 1980s punk. The result is a ferocious album that delivers 11 tracks that are all carefully considered variations on “fuck you.” With Max having so many bands on the go, GAAD has a lot to do to stand out and measure up. Fortunately, the injection of fresh Cavalera blood means there is a real sense of vibrant danger throughout the record.
