Cavalera (ex-Sepultura, etc.) have partnered with Concept Cafes to create a new espresso roast called “Espresso A.D.” You can get your hands on that HERE. Further information was shared about the roast:
“Paying homage to the monumental and influential album, ‘Espresso A.D.’ is a limited edition signature espresso roast using specialty beans harvested in Max & Iggor’s home state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The coffee comes packed in collectible tins featuring all new original artwork that not only pays tribute to the original iconic album art, but also illustrates the current chaotic state of the world with the strong anthemic messaging of ‘REFUSE / RESIST’, that is never more apt than now.”
Concept Cafes Creator Mike Tonsetic also shared his thoughts on the beverage:
“Max actually came up with this concept during the last tour, as he we wanted to get everyone fueled up to go fkn crazy in the pit; we promised him we’d get it done, and well, here we are lol!…We actually went through revision after revision on this concept, as it was a hard one to get right in not only paying humbled respect to the original album’s artwork ‘Cacophony’ by Michael Whelan, but really embodying the heart and spirit of ‘Chaos A.D.’ We also wanted this legendary album’s messaging to be apparent in the concept, and relevant to current times. We incorporated a lot of elements from the album into this concept if you look close enough, and we also hope it will help empower people to refuse/ resist the evils in this world that are now more apparent than ever.”
Max Cavalera added:
“Before we bring the chaos to the stage, we drink the Blood Brothers’ Espresso to fire us up!! “
This news comes ahead of Cavalera’s fall tour, which will find them playing Sepultura’s “Chaos A.D.” in its entirety
