Více o knize

My Bloody Roots is a brutally honest account of life in two of the world’s most renowned heavy metal bands, Sepultura and Soulfly, told by a respected musician in the global metal scene. It transcends the typical rock’n’roll narrative, delving into themes of heartbreak, loss, and ultimately, triumph. Cavalera recounts his challenging upbringing in Brazil, a country not known for heavy metal, and the unexpected success of Sepultura, the band he founded with his brother Iggor. He candidly reveals the story behind his split from the band, which led to years of silence between him and Iggor, and the creation of Soulfly, a critically acclaimed band that has enjoyed commercial success for over two decades. The narrative also addresses the profound impact of personal tragedies, including the deaths of his father, stepson, and grandson, alongside his battles with addiction and his eventual reconciliation with Iggor in Cavalera Conspiracy. This autobiography is essential reading for metal fans, showcasing Max Cavalera's extraordinary journey. He has been a professional musician since 1984, co-founding the influential Sepultura and later forming Soulfly, which continues to headline major festivals. Joel McIver, a leading authority on metal, contributes to this compelling story.
