“I think it’d be great to do a second part of that” – Max Cavalera reveals his desire to write a second book

Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Killer Be Killed) was questioned if a sequel to his 2014 book “My Bloody Roots: From Sepultura To Soulfly And Beyond” would be possible in a recent interview with Andrew McKaysmith of the Scars And Guitars podcast.

I need to collect a couple of more stories first. But yeah, I think it’d be great to do a second part of that eventually, a little bit further down the road. I think also there’s a lot of really cool tour stories and I’ve been always thinking about this idea of a book of only tour stories. It’d be really cool too, because there’s so many great tour stories. The other day I was reading an article that I think Revolver did about the Sepultura-Ministry tour. And they interviewed everybody on it. And to me, that was cool to read all Al Jourgensen’s point of view and Helmet’s point of view of that tour that I didn’t know about it. And Al being a huge Sepultura fan, I didn’t even know that he was that massive of a Sepultura fan, that he kind of fought for us to be on that tour. Yeah, so maybe like a book of tour stories and then eventually sometime later another chapter, another book of the other stuff that I did. But you need to collect stories more first. [Laughs] And that’s what we’re doing right now.

“My Bloody Roots: From Sepultura To Soulfly And Beyond” was released in July 2022 by Jawbone Press in its “fully revised and updated” edition. Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) wrote the book’s foreword, while Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God) wrote a brand-new afterword.
