Cavalera Conspiracy is coming to the Rock & Roll Hotel on Wednesday 12 October 2011 and DCHeavyMetal.com is giving away a pair of tickets to a lucky one of you readers. 
All you have to do to enter to win is in the comments below post a classic old school Sepultura song title you’d like to hear them play that night. I’m sure they’ll have to play a few covers. If you don’t know any old Sepultura song titles (you call yourself a metal head?) you can check out their discography on the Metal Archives here and don’t pick any songs after 1997. On Monday the 10th of October 2011 at 6pm EST I’ll pick a winner at random (using Random.org) from all the valid entries below to win the pair of tickets to this show! Be sure to enter using an email address you check regularly so I can contact you when you win. And I won’t add you to any email lists or anything either, I hate spam as much as you do.
When I was in high school Sepultura was one of my favorite bands. The Cavalera brothers, Max and Igor, were founding members and in my opinion the backbone of that band. The Brazilian band really started taking off in the 90s, they had several videos all over MTV (back when MTV not only played music videos but metal ones even) and the band’s popularity was going upwards with each new release. However, Max ended up getting married to the band’s manager and she basically Yoko’d Sepultura and convinced him to go solo, forming his own band called Soulfly. I’ll just say they weren’t nearly as good as Sepultura. Sepultura didn’t fare much better, their popularity greatly diminished due to weaker releases after Max left. Igor didn’t talk to Max for years after the split. That is, not until after Igor himself eventually left Sepultura in 2006 and the two not only reconciled but to the delight of Sepultura fan boys like myself formed a new band together. Their first album, Inflikted, I really enjoyed and recommend checking that out if you haven’t. Anyways, the brothers haven’t played in DC since forming, though they did play Baltimore a couple times. I’m really psyched about this show! The opening acts will be Otep and Earth Crisis as well as Maryland based An Obscure Signal. If you simply can’t wait to get tickets you can pick them up from Ticket Alternative here for $22, they go up to $25 the day of the show. The doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7:30. This is going to kick ass!
After you’ve entered the contest check out this wild video of Cavalera Conspiracy playing their song Sanctuary. Sorta reminds me of those beef jerky commercials with Bigfoot in them, but with more blood and that weird guy Sloth from the Goonies.
Psst… If this isn’t enough Sepultura nostalgia goodness for you, members of local bands Disciples Of Christ (D.O.C. for short), Mind As Prison and Drugs Of Faith, will be playing a special set of Sepultura covers the Thursday before Halloween. You can get more info on that at show’s Facebook event page here.

I would love to hear BENEATH THE REMAINS!!! Thats a real classic!!
Yes – I second Beneath The Remains. One of the few songs to ever be “my favorite song ever” for any period of time. I had no clue Cavalera Conspiracy even existed!!! Whoa.
I’d love to hear “War” off of Morbid Visions!
Mass Hypnosis!
orgasmatron. i know its a motorhead song but seputura rocks it
Sepultura was great at covering songs and this is certainly one of their better ones so I’ll count it. However, you’re only allowed one entry so the other one doesn’t count.
inner self also a good one.
Slaves of pain is my shit!
Ratamahatta

The Hunt is actually a New Model Army cover but it is a kick ass cover so I’ll allow it!
Straighthate off the Roots album. That song owns.
Territory!!!!!!!!!

Propaganda!! or anything from Chaos AD
No Chance I’ll miss this show. Way too many Sepultura songs I’d want to hear during the show…, Would love to hear them play Born Stubborn and/or Attitude.
I was going to respond Orgasmatron, but since that has already been used I’ll go with another song off Arise … Dead Embryonic Cells.
We’re DEAD EMBRYONIC CELLS!
Territory!
Refuse! Resist!
ROOOOOTS! BLOODY ROOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m with the “Refuse/Resist” crowd here… \m/
