Following the brothers' falling out, Max Cavalera had formed a new band, Soulfly, and Igor had recorded four studio albums with Sepultura before leaving the band in January 2006. In July 2006, Max received an unexpected call from his brother, and by the end of the conversation, Max had invited Igor to visit him in Phoenix, Arizona, to perform in a Soulfly show. Igor joined Soulfly in concert and performed two Sepultura songs. After the show, Max suggested they begin a new project, and Igor accepted. To complete the band, Max chose Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo and Joe Duplantier (Gojira) as the bass guitarist. The group then recorded their debut album at Undercity Studios in Los Angeles with engineer and co-producer Logan Mader in July 2007. Named after the band's original moniker, Inflikted was released through Roadrunner Records on March 25, 2008. Cavalera Conspiracy has released three more albums since then: Blunt Force Trauma (2011), Pandemonium (2014) and Psychosis (2017).

Must Kill
Cavalera Conspiracy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We must kill, another blood is spilled
You must kill, another soul is ill
We must kill, another life killed
We must kill, another deadly sin
You must kill, another orphan land
We must kill, another atrocity
You must kill, and blood will follow
We must kill, there?s no tomorrow
You must kill, death will follow
We must kill, there?s no tomorrow
[x4]
Judgment, torment, execution
You must kill, this is not a drill
We must kill, this is for real
You must kill, another body ill
You must kill, another blood is spilled
[x4]
Judgment, torment, execution
Um, dois, treis, quatro...
[x20]
Must kill
The song "Must Kill" by Cavalera Conspiracy seems to be a call to action for taking violent means towards a perceived evil. The repeated refrain "You must kill, we must kill" appears to be an instruction to the listener, encouraging them to eliminate whatever it is that is causing ill or destruction. The lines "another atrocity" and "another misery" suggest a response to violence or tragedy, with the singer advocating for a violent retribution. The refrain "there's no tomorrow" further underscores the urgency and desperation of the situation.
The additional lines "Judgment, torment, execution" add to the ominous and violent tone of the song, hinting at a thirst for revenge or justice. The counting in Portuguese at the end of the song ("um, dois, treis, quatro") also implies a galvanizing message, urging the listener to take action now before it is too late.
Overall, "Must Kill" is a intense and provocative song that may be interpreted in different ways by different listeners. It could be seen as a warning against violent solutions and embracing mercy, or as a rallying cry for justice through strength and force.
