"Inflikted", the debut album from
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, sold 9,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at No. 72 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Johny Chow (a.k.a.
John Mark Bechtel;
FIREBALL MINISTRY,
SOULS OF WE, ex-
SYSTEMATIC,
MY RUIN) was recruited by
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY to play bass on the group's European and U.S. tours as the replacement for
Joe Duplantier of the French progressive death metallers
GOJIRA.
Duplantier, who laid down all the bass tracks on
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's debut album,
"Inflikted", was busy in the studio working on the new
GOJIRA CD and was unable to join
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY on the road.
Chow played his first show with
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY on May 30, 2008 at the
Electric Weekend in Madrid, Spain.
