This isn't a review of another music recording instead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Max Cavalera has released his autobiography My Bloody Roots - From Sepultura To Soulfly And Beyond. This is a great read from a guy telling it as it was and not holding back. Max Cavalera is a name that always attracts my attention, and it's little wonder having played a major role in founding the very successful Sepultura. A group who put Brazil on the metal map and he followed Sepultura with another successful band namely Soulfly. Next there was Cavalera Conspiracy who have a third album out later this year. Max has also recently played a part in the new metal supergroup Killer Be Killed, and not to forget the earlier Nailbomb project all of which are covered here.

Fans of Sepultura and Soulfly will find this book a compelling read when Max delves into their formations and the many following releases, Max goes into quite some detail and you really do gain a new appreciation for those recordings.

There is also more interesting reading as Max delves into his eventful childhood, family life and problems with drugs and alcohol giving readers an interesting insight into the other side of Max Cavalera.
