Soulfly’s Debut Album on 180g 2LP.

Driven by Max Cavalera’s unrelenting energy, unmistakable growl, and instantly recognizable riffage, the earthy tones and motivational rhythmic bounce of Soulfly maintain a gritty spiritual heart while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in metal. Soufly (1998) was a riotously heavy escalation of the innovation established on Max’s final album with Sepultura, launching a brand-new era. Max introduced metalheads to the berimbau. His music is brutal yet unapologetically transcendent punk-infused extremity. To commune with the burning muse of metal’s shamanistic tribal leader is to envelop oneself inside a post-modern sonic sweat lodge. Brutal riffs, trippy esoteric ritual, unrelenting percussion, primal screams; no matter what Cavalera hammers out on his four-string guitar, it always sets souls free. Guest appearances include: Chino Moreno (Deftones), Burton C. Bell & Dino Cazares (Fear Factory) and Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit).
