During a recent interview with Metal Express Radio, Max Cavalera discussed Soulfly’s upcoming album. Notably, he confirmed that he still plans to reintroduce the band’s tribal elements, so he can “let Soulfly be Soulfly again.”
Cavalera said the following:
“I’m working on [the album] right now. A lot of people have been asking me [about it]. It is a little bit of return to the early Soulfly. I feel there was a magic around those early records that kind of got lost in the shuffle of the years. And because I do have stuff like [side projects] Go Ahead And Die and Cavalera to satisfy my extreme underground flavor, I can actually let Soulfly be Soulfly again, let it be what it was in the beginning, which is this really powerful, free band with a lot of heavy tribal parts. We kind of went away from that, and I think it’s cool to return to that all those years later and really make a record that is… To me, when I’m creating this new record, for me, this is the album that should have been made after [2000’s] ‘Primitive’. So, I feel like like I have a chance to make the third record all over again, and I’m making it more towards the vibe I had on [1998’s] ‘Soulfly’ and ‘Primitive’. So, it’s gonna be cool, man. I’m excited for that.”
