Lucky no. 13 here! We welcome back Max Cavalera of Soulfly for his third appearance on Interview Under Fire, this time to discuss the band’s explosive new album, Chama. Marking their 13th studio release, Chama proves that even after four decades in heavy metal, Max’s creative flame still burns as bright as ever. Now performing alongside his sons Igor Amadeus and Zyon Cavalera, Max reflects on what it means to see his lifelong dream come full circle—sharing the stage and studio with his family. We also touch on the legacy of the late Ozzy Osbourne, whose influence continues to resonate deeply with him. Translating to “flame,” Chama symbolizes that enduring passion and purpose that has defined Max’s career and keeps the Cavalera legacy alive.

“Chama” is out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records!

Oskar Logi of Icelandic rock trio The Vintage Caravan joins us to discuss their fifth studio album, Portals. Known for carrying the torch of classic rock while giving it a modern edge, the band continues to evolve with each release. We reflect on the early days of The Vintage Caravan, their rise from Iceland’s underground scene, and the exciting addition of Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt, who makes a special guest appearance on one of the album’s tracks. With their last album, Monuments having charted and raised the bar for the band, we also ask Oskar if he feels any pressure moving forward as Portals marks another milestone in their career. In short, creating new music is second nature for this talented human being. This marks Oskar's 2nd appearnce on IUF, and we had plenty and then some to catch up on.

Tune in to this episode now, and be sure to buy and stream Portals, out now worldwide via Napalm Records.
