SOULFLY have announced a new album!
Titled Chama, the upcoming album from the extreme metal icons is the follow-up to 2022’s Totem and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
The upcoming album was recorded at the Platinum Underground Studio in Mesa, Arizona by John Aquilino. John has worked with Max and company multiple times before and is not only a talented engineer but a family friend. The album was produced by Zyon Cavalera and Arthur Rizk. The latter was also responsible for the mixing and mastering. SOULFLY enlisted Carletta Parrish to create the album artwork. For the album, Igor Amadeus Cavalera (GO AHEAD & DIE, NAILBOMB, HEALING MAGIC) played bass and Mike De Leon played guitar. The album also features Dino Cazares (FEAR FACTORY) on one of the tracks.
Speaking about the new album, vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera says, “Chama is the Brazilian word for flame. It also means a ‘calling’. Respect to Alex Pereira for using Itsari on his UFC walkouts. Chama is inspired by the energy of this moment. This record is the sound of SOULFLY’s fire! I cannot wait to play these songs live for the Tribe! Chama!”
Drummer Zyon Cavalera adds, “with each SOULFLY record I’ve played on, I can feel my evolution happening in real time. This record was no different as I got to handle a good amount of the production for the first time. Trying to take the band to places we have never been before was a blast and I look forward to more production work in the future!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming record, titled Storm The Gates.
