10 Great Things In Metal This Week (4th Dec)
2. Max And Iggor Cavalera Bring The "Return To Roots" Tour To The UK
On Wednesday 30th November, siblings Max and Iggor Cavalera played the first and only UK date of their "Return to Roots" world tour in Kentish Town's O2 Forum.
Playing the 1996 Sepultura classic Roots in its amazing entirety (a record which the two brothers were more than instrumental in crafting), it made for a night of unyielding adrenaline and off-the-wall passion from the fans at the Forum, with the capacity crowd constantly moshing, crowd-surfing, clapping, head-banging and more.
Proving that Max Cavalera's manipulation of the crowd is second-to-none (and the staying power of one of '90s metal's best albums), the Return to Roots show may have been one of the best headlining sets of 2016.
Shame I've already written my "Metal's Best Live Bands" list, huh?
