 Before talking with his brother , Max wrote a song entitled " Inflikted , " inspired by Sepultura 's visit in 1992 to Indonesia where they saw a " crazy ritual " . Describing what he saw , Max said , " There was self @-@ inflicted pain , knives , blood , fire . It was insane . It stuck in my head . " Max stated that " Inflikted " was supposed to go towards Soulfly 's sixth studio album Conquer , but he wanted to do the song with Igor . For legal reasons , they could not use Inflikted as the band name . According to Max , " A lot of people had used it before , so he had to come up with something else . " When trying to find a name , he " blurted out " Cavalera Conspiracy , and Igor liked it . Max added , " I think I like it better than Inflikted . It has a ring to it that connects me and Igor as two brothers back together . "
