Max Cavalera, fresh off Sepultura’s Chaos A.D., was disillusioned with the music industry. Alex Newport brought the sludge-drenched, detuned riffing of Fudge Tunnel. Together, they programmed drum machines, invited session musicians (including Igor Cavalera on real drums for two tracks), and screamed into microphones without filters.
