That's right; Max and Igor Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, ex-Sepultura, etc.) are working with Ex-LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy to create what they're referring to as "a metal version of The White Stripes." Alrighty then.
So Igor Cavalera said in an interview with The Guardian:
“James Murphy approached me with the record idea, but eventually suggested some others. To start with, he wants only the two of us in the studio, like a metal version of the White Stripes. He also wants nothing but the two of us on stage,” Iggor told the Guardian.
“He basically asked me to get rid of the rest of the band. Cavalera Conspiracy has four members and two records. Murphy asked us to start from scratch as a duo. According to him, ‘this will come to be the heaviest record of our careers’. He promised me that”, explains Iggor.
“The last time my brother and I played together as a duo was back home, when we were still teenagers learning how to play in our bedrooms. I had some pieces of an old drum and he had his guitar. This new project feels as though my brother and I are coming back home, 30 years later.”
I really don't even have a speculative opinion on this. One part of me is really interested to see how in the living hell this could turn out, and another, albeit smaller part of me, is already convinced it's an oddly silly idea. I guess we'll just have to wait! Since I know most of you have everything LCD Soundsystem has ever done ever, I'll leave this here for the minority of you who have no idea what they sound like. Fun fact; I'm not a fan:
