Nah, its about Wagner Lamounier, former Sepultura Guitarist. He revealed personal details about the other members ten years after he left the band, this song is Max's response. Bumbklaat is the biggest insult in Portugese, like motherfucker in english.

You're right about the subject of the song, but obviously have no clue about Portuguese. 'Bumbklaat' (aka bumbaclart, misc. other spellings) is a JAMAICAN Patois word, meaning literally bum-cloth (arsewipe). It's a big insult obviously. There's a variant, bloodclart, meaning bloody cloth (e.g. sanitary towel). The dread-wearing Max Cavalera is influenced by Jamaican culture, so there you go.
