Soulfly

Soulfly is the self titled debut album by the metal band Soulfly, released on April 21, 1998 through Roadrunner Records. The record was released in memory of frontman Max Cavalera's murdered stepson and the first album featuring Cavalera since leaving Sepultura two years prior. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA. The record features many guests, including members of Fear Factory, Limp Bizkit, Cypress Hill, Deftones, and Dub War. Soulfly is an American metal band formed in 1997 and based in Phoenix, Arizona. Soulfly is led by former Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera, who formed the band after he left the Brazilian group in 1996. The band has released ten studio albums, one tour EP, 19 singles, and one DVD video…

At the dawn of the new millennium, Rolling Stone declared, “Soulfly seem built to last.” More than two decades, countless worldwide tours, and a dozen albums later, that prophecy rings true. Underground icon, extreme metal trailblazer, third world warrior, and leader of a diverse and dedicated tribe, Max Cavalera not only survives but thrives, blasting out riff after killer riff. The same voice, body, and spirit which launched Soulfly in 1997 summons impossibly heavy noise to this day, throwing down ten slabs of monstrous music on Soulfly’s twelfth album, 2022’s „Totem“.

Ritual is the eleventh Soulfly album, released in 2018. The album marks the 20-year anniversary of their debut album release by partially going back to the roots with the return of tribal stuff and grooves of early Soulfly albums, besides retaining some of the elements present on recent albums, such as death metal and black metal. Ritual features Randy Blythe of Lamb of God and Ross Dolan of Immolation. The album was named after Jane's Addiction album Ritual De Lo Habitual and Max Cavalera declares 'Ritual' a "very metal name".

Soulfly's 7th studio album Omen features guest appearances by Prong's Tommy Victor, Dillinger Escape Plan's Greg Puciato and Max Cavalera's sons Zyon and Iggor.
