Max Cavalera, former lead singer of the Brazilian death metal growlers Sepultura, has put together a new band and will release an album in spring of '98.|

The yet-to-be-named group is presently mixing the unnamed album with Andy Wallace (Jane's Addiction, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine) in Manhattan's Soundtrack Studios. There is "absolutely no involvement" of other Sepultura members in Cavalera's new project," said Sophie Diamantis, a spokeswoman for Cavalera. "Sepultura is their own band and they're currently looking for a lead singer," she said. (Isaac Josephson)
