Unhealthy Mechanisms is the explosive second album from Arizona’s death metal powerhouse, Go Ahead and Die. Born from the creative fury of Igor Amadeus Cavalera and Max Cavalera, this album plunges into society’s chaos and the mental pollution that plagues us. From the very first note, you’re swept into a whirlwind of unhinged energy, with rhythms that lead you through dark alleyways and shattered soundscapes.
With crunching guitar riffs and relentless dive bombs, the Cavalera family delivers an unapologetic, high-octane experience. Igor describes his approach: ‘I played my guitar directly in front of the amp with the gain turned high, capturing feedback at every turn. I aimed for a raw, live recording vibe, playing as if in a packed bar—loud and in your face.’ This palpable energy resonates throughout the album as father and son unleash their musical fury.
