CAVALERA CONSPIRACY MUSIC FACTORY
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 at 9:30am by Axl RosenbergI think I’ve made my feelings about remixes pretty clear in the past, but just to reiterate – I find them boring, pointless, and usually pretty awful. I mean, good for the band for getting their hardcore fans to pony up for a terrible version of a song they already owned, but I’m gonna pass.
So I was pretty pissed when I read this statement from Iggor Cavalera on Noisecreep:
“We have some ideas of maybe doing a remix album of ['Inflikted'] and have people like Justice or Soulwax — even some dub artists that my brother likes — remix the whole album.”
Mercifully, Iggor goes on to say that the remix record is “just an idea. It’s nothing confirmed,” and promises that he and brother Max “are talking about doing a new album in the future.” But I just want to be on record right now as saying that they just wait to do said new album. ‘Cause a collection of remixes won’t do much besides lower the cool quotient of Cavalera Conspiracy stock. I mean, “Sanctuary” needs a lot of bleeps and bloops and dee-dee-dees and do-doh-dos like Gene Hoglan needs a sandwich, y’know? Let’s just leave good enough alone fellas. Thanks.

Agreed. New album, scrap the remix idea quick.
personally, i wouldn’t mind hearing some good remixes, but they’d be better to release any remix songs in the fashion that iggor releases his mixhell stuff (ala filesharing) then to put the promotional wheels in motion to promote a complete “remix album” to metalheads at large – in reality these songs probably would only appeal to a very narrow base of people who can appreciate both styles, and if they do this they better keep that in mind. like i said though, i’m part of that narrow base, and i’m all for hearing what someone like Justice or Soulwax could do to Infliked.. :)
Inflikted!
Show no mercy
All motherfuckin’ weekend!
Am I missing something, or has there always been 2 G’s in his name?
it’s a new thing he’s doing. Don’t know why.
CUZ HES A G!!
9 times out of 10 metal remixes are completely worthless, but as a fan of both metal and electronic music the Justice and Soulwax specific mentions really intrigue me. This also makes me think about what groups like Flying Lotus or Heavyweight Dub Champion would do with this stuff… but I’d only be interested if it doesn’t cut into their time making a new CC album. Then do a CC/Gojira co-headline US tour.
‘“Sanctuary” needs a lot of bleeps and bloops and dee-dee-dees and do-doh-dos like Gene Hoglan needs a sandwich, y’know?’
Well we all know that Gene Hoglan’s gonna have that sandwich anyway.
HO HO HO
Fuck I love Soulwax. I’d be stoked to hear something like that.. probably wouldn’t be prepared to pay for it though.
ya, well look at all the “remix’s” soulfly has done… It would be better to see an entire new album, and have a second disc w/ of remixes tagged w/ it instead of sole remix album.
