Soulfly Posts New Title Track Online

Phoenix, Arizona based metal veterans Soulfly has posted a 360° video online for the title track of their forthcoming new album, "Ritual." You can check it out below. The album will be released on October 19 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Comments vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera: "This song took a long time and almost didn't make the record. We recorded it as an instrumental and ran out of time in the studio. We ended up having to fly Josh Wilbur (producer) out to my house to finish the vocals. He kept on telling me he wanted more of that 'tribal shit' like some of the stuff on our first record and 'Primitive'. We ended up creating the chorus on the spot and layering something like 12 or 16 tracks of chanting for it. After we heard it and were listening back, we got really excited and were high-fiving each other. Josh just turned to me and said that was what he wanted to hear as a fan, and he was really happy to get that out of me. We both knew it was a new Soulfly classic for the ages and had to be the album opener. I'm really proud of this song and I think old-school fans of my work are going to love it." More...

Soulfly Enthralls The Bristol Tribe

With a new album, "Ritual" just around the corner, Max Cavalera and his cohorts are very busy preparing to unleash the record and nothing gets fans pumped for a new live album like a blistering live performance. This is just what fans were treated to in Bristol last week at the intimate Fleece venue just outside the city centre.

Opting to use local support throughout their tour of the United Kingdom, they were joined on their final night in Britain by BOE (Beginning Of Extinction.) BOE perform a brand of music best described as early 2000s nu metal, reminiscent of bands like Drowning Pool, Saliva and to a lesser extent Coal Chamber. It's a little difficult to report on the performance of a local band because it's hard to tell how much of those cheering are friends of the band to begin with, but as someone who doesn't know the band but enjoys some the aforementioned bands, I can say that they were unremarkable, but by no means terrible. There's nothing to get excited about and their second vocalist contributes as much to the music as Bez from the Happy Mondays, but as a whole, they're fine. BOE clearly strikes a chord with some people, but there was also plenty of others hanging out in the smoking area. All in all, check them out if you miss the sound of fifteen years ago and judge for yourself. More...

Soulfly Posts New Album Trailer Online

Metal icons Soulfly are set to release their devastating new album Ritual on October 19th via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Today, the band has released the first of several album trailers. Watch guitarist/vocalist Max Cavalera discuss the exceptional album artwork for Ritual, below.

Comments Max Cavalera: “I am really stoked to be working again with two of my favourite artists, Eliran Kantor and Marcelo Vasco! The Ritual artwork is very mystic and captures the vibe of the album perfectly. For this one, we really tried to retain the groove of early Soulfly as well as my love for the heavy, fast stuff I’m into: like death and black metal and some hardcore. Working with Josh Wilbur for Soulfly this time around has been amazing. He’s a huge fan and added a lot to the record. I would fight for the fast songs and he would always push me to add more groove. I think in the end we created a really cool mix of songs that covers a lot of ground in my career. Let the Ritual begin!”

Metal Underground caught up with Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera this week in Bristol, England to discuss "Ritual," which you can also view below. More...
