Geek Network onces again dives into the pit. They had the honor to sit down and speak to Max Cavalera the cofounder of Sepultura the heavy metal Brazilian band who has made waves through the music industry about their sophomore album with one of his most current bands “Go Ahead and Die.”

This album was conceived during the COVID time. The themes of “Unhealthy Mechanisms” has to do with a dystopian future, and the route we are heading down if we don’t learn to live and accept one another as a society.

One of the biggest highlights from this interview is that Max spoke about what the metal community is all about. He squashed the stereotype that all metal heads are satanic and violent people. On the contrary it’s not about that at all. When he meets fans they’re full of love and emotion, and smile the brightest. They also have an amazing energy that no one else can bring. Lastly, he has seen multiple people falling down in the pit and fellow members of the pit help that person up so they can continue moshing. Max also days with being part of a big rock and metal loving community that we can help each other heal with the power of music.

Profiler is a Nu-Metal band reawakening from the creative mind of vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans. Together with bassist Joe Johnson and drummer Brad Ratcliffe, the band draws inspiration from pioneers who have instigated change across various genres, arts, and theories. This weight of legacy is something Profiler embraces, finding support with SharpTone Records, their home since 2020.

Originally conceived as a solo project in Bristol, UK, Profiler evolved as Mike stepped from the studio to the stage, enlisting bassist/vocalist Joe Johnson and drummer Oscar Hocking. In early 2023, Oscar made way for Brad Ratcliffe, solidifying the lineup that would craft the debut album, "A Digital Nowhere," released in 2024.

Profiler's music, a fusion of nu-metal, grunge, and alt-rock, creates an abrasive, distorted soundscape that pays homage to the heydays of these genres. Their sound resonates with anyone nostalgic for the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement or the dominance of nu-metal in the 2000s, and the trailblazing bands that emerged during this era.

The highly anticipated debut album, "A Digital Nowhere," will be released on February 16th by SharpTone Records.
