 In July 2006 , while Soulfly was on tour , Max received a call from his brother , and by the end of the conversation , Max had invited Igor to visit him in Phoenix for the tenth anniversary of D @-@ Low , an annual memorial show for Dana . At the concert , Igor joined Soulfly and performed two Sepultura songs , " Roots Bloody Roots " and " Attitude , " for which Dana had written the lyrics . In an interview with Chad Bowar for About.com , Max stated that performance was " the birth of Cavalera Conspiracy " . After the show , Max suggested they begin a new project after Soulfly finished touring . Max confessed to Bowar that he had lied to Igor when he said all the songs were ready when he had only finished one . He added , " It was one of those good lies . Everything rolled from there . What I like about the Conspiracy is that nothing is really planned . One thing leads to another . There 's no pressure and it feels like a different project than anything I 've done . "
