MAX CAVALERA Says "He's Very Proud" Of Upcoming SOULFLY Album, Hints At Possible October Release

With the follow-up to Totem in the works, Max Cavalera seems to be taking a reflective yet revitalized approach to crafting the next Soulfly album. Speaking to MetalUnderground.com (via Blabbermouth), he shared an optimistic progress update.

"We're working on the new record right now. It's going good, man. We're taking our time to do it right. We are in the process of finishing the recordings right now, and then we're gonna start getting stuff mixed and finding the songs that are gonna go on all the socials, Spotify, and all that jive. But, yeah, I'm very proud of the record."

According to Cavalera, the direction of this new material marks a conscious step back to the band’s beginnings: "The record, it's cool. It feels to me like it has the adventurous spirit of the first record [1998's Soulfly]. Sonically, it's pretty different from the first record — it's more intricate and maybe even heavier, heavier grooves. But in terms of spirit and attitude, it's similar to the first record, which I think is cool that I got to figure out a way to put my mind back at that time and what made me create that record and use it again on a new record. It's pretty fun. It's kind of hard to do, but I think it was an exciting thing to tackle. It was kind of, like, 'Let's try to do this. Let's see if you can use your first album as somehow some kind of inspiration for your thirteenth record. [Laughs] And that was great, man. I love that. I love that kind of vibe that the record has."
