As cult-favorite Industrial Sludge/Crust Punk outfit NAILBOMB crawls back out of the vault to join SOULFLY and INCITE on U.S. stages this fall, METAL KAOZ connected with Igor Amadeus Cavalera to discuss the brutal reality of touring, writing music with Max Cavalera, and the creative chaos behind the family's work. From being on stage at ‘Dynamo’ before he was even born to finishing passion projects and identifying the “general” behind the Cavalera family, Igor offers a candid look at legacy, discipline, and life inside a Metal dynasty.

With “Etheric Realms Of The Night”, IATT turn insomnia, sleep paralysis, and night terrors into a cinematic extreme Metal journey through dream consciousness. METAL KAOZ connected with Alec Pezzano to discuss the album’s immersive concept, its companion film, and how sleeplessness became a creative weapon. From Latin fusion and Black Metal to taking a drone to the face, national commercials, and a live show “on steroids”, Alec reflects on ambition, visual storytelling, and why fans keep returning to this album.

As SEPTICFLESH prepare to join ARCH ENEMY and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER on this fall’s ‘Wrath Across America’ North U.S. tour, METAL KAOZ connected with Krimh to discuss the upcoming run, setlist choices, and why the band is not playing new songs just yet. From revealing that the next SEPTICFLESH album will be “heavier and faster” to the brutal reality of orchestral shows, playing locked to a click, and what it feels like for an Austrian to join a Greek Metal band, Krimh offers a glimpse inside a restless creative mind.

With “The Transformers: The Movie: The Soundtrack: The Reformatted Edition”, KNIGHTS OF UNICRON revisit an ‘80s classic with heavier guitars, sharper production, and full respect for the original spirit. METAL KAOZ connected with Francesco Cavalieri to discuss singing “Instruments Of Destruction”, choosing the Decepticon side, and why the ‘80s sound remains unbeatable. From fans resisting change to Metal’s once-feared reputation, Francesco reflects on nostalgia, Synthwave revival, and why even the scariest metalheads are often the nicest people.
