MAX CAVALERA, the ultimate ambassador and lifer for Big Riff Energy, takes us on a journey through a life of relentless riffs and unrivaled passion for extreme music. From recording early Sepultura as a young teenager in Brazil, to making the best re-recordings ever heard in metal as a seasoned veteran. His rollercoaster of a riff-centric life includes midnight album release signings for Chaos AD, revitalizing crucial extreme metal music with family, UFC champion Alex “Poatan” Pereira drawing energy from Cavalera riffs, and more!
