GO AHEAD AND DIE

UNHEALTHY MECHANISMS is the caustic sophomore album from Arizona death-crusters GO AHEAD AND DIE. A torrential whirlwind born from the livid minds of Igor Amadeus Cavalera (HEALING MAGIC) and Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY). This new installment to the band’s dystopian catalog is a fresh dive into the madness of society and
the pollution that ravages our minds. From the first note there is a sense of unhinged insanity; a grim rhythm that takes listeners down sinister alleyways and across ravaged soundscapes.

Igor and Max supply crunching, frenetic guitar riffs and ear-splitting dive bombs in the no-holds-barred “F*** you” fashion of the Cavalera family. Igor states, “I played my guitar directly in front of the amp with the gain turned high, trying to get feedback everywhere I could. I really wanted it to feel like a live recording, so I played like I would in a crowded bar
room, loud and in your face.” The high-energy presence is palpable as both father and son rip through riffs like a brick through a window.

“This album is about mental health, and specifically the decline of it. You can hear the passion
in our voices. Max and I did all the vocals in as minimal takes as possible to keep that authentic aggression alive and well. There’s things in this world that make me sick, that make my head sick. This was my way of letting it be heard.” The duo brings forth a vast well of emotions with their growling and shrieking, spitting words like venom with an underlying
sense of connection amidst catchiness. Venturing into topics such as depression, anger, numbness, suicide, and violence, they capture the bleak reality of the world with poetic yet savage justice.
