This fall, metalheads across the U.S. will witness the return of a landmark moment in heavy music history as Cavalera Conspiracy, led by the legendary Max and Iggor Cavalera, hit the road for their Return to Chaos tour. At the heart of this blistering trek is a full-album performance of Chaos A.D., Sepultura’s groundbreaking 1993 record that redefined the genre—and galvanized a generation.
One of the most anticipated stops on the tour is Sunday, September 28 at Red Flag in St. Louis, MO, where Cavalera will perform Chaos A.D. in its entirety. The night promises unrelenting energy, raw power, and a rare opportunity to experience this cultural milestone live. Tickets are available now for this all-ages show, with doors at 7 p.m. and music kicking off at 8 p.m. Joining them as special guests are industrial groove metal pioneers Fear Factory, along with more acts to be announced.
Originally released in 1993 via Roadrunner Records (and Epic in North America), Chaos A.D. was more than a departure—it was a declaration. Sepultura, once firmly rooted in death-thrash, pivoted to a groove-heavy, tribal-infused sonic assault that blended hardcore punk, industrial influences, and the socio-political strife of their native Brazil. It was a bold move, coming at a time when grunge was taking over and metal was being pushed aside. But Max Cavalera and company leaned in, producing an album that was both an artistic risk and a global statement.
Max and Iggor Cavalera are no strangers to evolution. After leaving Sepultura, the two forged their own path as Cavalera Conspiracy, continuing their mission to bring chaos to the masses. Their recent re-recordings of Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions reminded fans of their roots—and of their ferocious precision as performers.
In the lead-up to the tour, Max Cavalera joined The Vulgar Display of Podcast for an in-depth and impassioned conversation.
