Early Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> was n\u00fc-metal as hell. The first two albums gave us classics like “Jumpdafuckup” and “Bleed”, and featured a boatload of guests include Corey Taylor<\/strong>, Tom Araya<\/strong>, Chino Moreno<\/strong>, Fred Durst<\/strong>, Dino Cazares<\/strong>, Burton C. Bell<\/strong>, and way more. While an insane guest list remains to be seen for the new stuff, Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> mastermind Max Cavalera<\/strong> assures fans that their upcoming material will be more of a callback to those first few records.<\/p>\n “I really liked the early Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> stuff because it was more tribal and more groove. And now because I have Cavalera<\/a><\/strong> and Go Ahead And Die<\/a><\/strong>, I can be as heavy as I want with Cavalera<\/a><\/strong> that it leaves me Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> to be something quite different,” said Cavalera<\/strong> in an interview with Moshpit Passion. “I can mold Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> a bit different now where Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> is really kind of like more of a groove-oriented tribal band. And I think that’s really, in a lot of people’s perception, that was the best of Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> was like that.<\/p>\n “So, it’s not that I’m jumping on the bandwagon of nu metal; it’s not really that. It’s just that I think that the early Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> had some kind of magic that, through the years we kind of lost that magic. And I think we’re trying to bring it back with this new record that is gonna come out next year.”<\/p>\n Cavalera<\/strong> then noted some of his more modern influences, and the fact that the new Soulfly<\/a><\/strong> record will be dedicated to his mother who passed away in 2023.<\/p>\n “I think it’s gonna be cool because it’s also influenced by other stuff I’m listening to at the moment, like Kublai Khan<\/a><\/strong> and Jesus Piece<\/a><\/strong> and Knocked Loose<\/a><\/strong>, Judiciary<\/a><\/strong>. So there’s really heavy breakdown grooves together with tribal drums. It’s gonna be cool, man. It’s gonna be a real cool album that I am very excited to create.<\/p>\n “And, of course, also the fact that my mother passed away last year, I’m gonna make this album for her. It’s a homage to her. So it’s gonna be also a spiritual record for me because of that. So it’s gonna be a special record, for sure. It’s been [two] years since Totem<\/em>. Totem<\/em> was our last record. I think we are inspired to create something special next year.”<\/p>\n \n
