Album:

Archangel is the upcoming tenth studio album from American groove metal band Soulfly.It is scheduled for release on August 14, 2015 through Nuclear Blast Entertainment.It is the band's shortest album to date, running thirty-six and a half minutes.With recent releases via Killer Be Killed & Cavalera Conspiracy, the consistent frontman Max Cavalera has undeniably proven to be prolific. Yet, with another Soulfly album already on the way the question of quality vs. quantity arises. With nine studio LPs under their belt, Max and his rotation of musicians hit double digits with this dread-tightening, low-tuned, not-so-subtle religious entwined release.As the group continues their partnership with Nuclear Blast for a follow-up to 2013's Savages, they pull on board renowned producer, Matt Hyde, a metal household name due to his accomplished work with Slayer, Children of Bodom, Monster Magnet, etc. After nearly twenty years actively in the metal scene with a steady decline in charting statistics, Archangel, may act as the make-or-break record in regards to the relevancy of the band."We Sold Our Souls to Metal" contains all the thrash-laden grooves expected from the veteran band at this point in their career, but the lyrical content and dynamics come off simply as sophomoric. While yes, both the speed and structure are designed for your head-banging and circle pit needs, the repeated chorus skews the listening experience. "Archangel," the gateway track for spiritual themes dispersed throughout this album, holds a relentlessly thick and chaotic atmosphere within a steadily upbeat framework. About a minute in, the lead guitar riff veers away from the flow of the rhythm section, interrupting the cohesion. Constructive criticisms aside, the one-two punch opening to this record displays the heaps of energy still present.I'll admittedly hand it to the boys of Soulfly for being up to date on which groups to pull a guest appearance from. For starters, Nails frontman Todd Jones is the cherry on top of "Sodomites." Easily to be considered the highlight of this album, the thrash verses juxtapose quite perfectly with the Deftones-like riffs of the chant-contagious chorus. The rapid delivery of King Parrot's vocalist Matt Young stabs open the fleshy wound of "Live Life Hard!" before joining in for a screamed duet.And of course, there are the obligatory 'heavy for the sake of being heavy' tracks speckled about with their individually unique distinctions setting them apart from each other. Whether it be the catchy repetition of "Ishtar Rising," melodic solo in "Shamash" or the chug-meets-reverb refrain from "Titans," these compositions are definite growers. Certain to be overlooked, "Bethelem's Blood" is the hidden gem as the horns cry out between verses, signaling eminent war. A family reunion of sorts is conducted as Max continues to direct the spotlight on his progeny for the closer track. Stepson/Incite frontman Richie and son/Lody Kong frontman Igor team up beside female vocalist Anahid M.O.P. for "Mother of Dragons," a flaming cocktail of vocal ferocity.As previously mentioned, the common theme of this 'A Metalhead's Guide to the Old Testament' audiobook is the lyrical content in relation to biblical statements and sentiments. Fortunately, the subject matter is handled in a non-preachy manner and avoids bordering the Christian metal label. Max's choice to explore the darker, less infamous characters such as the Mesopotamian Sun god or Babylonian goddess of love was a commendable alternative to the usual 'Jesus on a Cross' and 'Flaming Lucifer' cliche overkill. With that being said, there certainly are a select couple tracks that fall into the genre's stereotypes.All in all, the experimental interludes and aspects including choir and exotic instrumentation further the listenability and depth. While this album is no game-changer by any means, there are a solid fair share of impressive and enjoyable moments with the potential of nudging Soulfly back into the limelight that they earned in the late 90's to early 2000's. Archangel, an apt title to indicate Soulfly's spreading of wings towards a more mature style, is the grand and fitting next step in their mystical, musical journey.

Album:

After the release of 2015’s ‘Archangel’, Soulfly came through, what they now consider to be, something of a rebirth for the band. Since then the four piece, comprised of guitarist Mark Rizzo, bassist Mike Leon, drummer Zyon Cavalera and the legendary titan of heavy metal Max Cavalera at the helm of it all, have immersed themselves in the making of their next album, ‘Ritual’. If ‘Archangel’ served as a rebirth for the band, ‘Ritual’ brings forth a full on onslaught in the best sense of the word.Title track “Ritual” seizes the album’s opening moments by the throat and doesn’t let go for a second. Not only does it gift fans with the much beloved Cavalera trademark of infectious grooves married with primitive, tribal chanting, it is arguably one of the best instances in which it has been done. Cavalera has dug deep into the bands roots and scattered these tribal grooves across the album to great affect. Another prime example can be found in the thrashing “Bite The Bullet”. Featuring a hybrid of technical styles from percussive drumming to sweeping guitars and spontaneous bass runs, “Bite The Bullet” locks horns immediately and demands its place among the album standouts.Throughout ‘Ritual,’ Zyon Cavalera steps up to the plate with a vengeance alongside the seasoned pros he calls his bandmates. Perhaps never more so than in “Demonized”, which depicts the young drummer at his dynamic best. Striking an essential balance between power, technique and passion, Zyon has all the components to be one of the great drummers of metal. Despite not having been in the band since its early days, Zyon bleeds various eras of Soulfly together as if he had been. Reimagining them with his own current stamp and, at the very least, has delivered a performance that undoubtedly warrants being acknowledged.If this old flame with a new wick approach doesn’t get everyone’s blood pumping straight away, ‘Ritual’ also features some pleasant surprises. “Feedback!” sees Soulfly dip their toes, however briefly, in a pool of Rock n’ Roll. Masterfully trading Thrash and Rock licks back and forth, this number is sure to bring a smile to your face. Though not every number will. Closing track “Soulfly XI” is a curious instrumental piece. With some chillingly good acoustic soloing over beautiful, smooth saxophone (yes, saxophone), the template riff for the entire movement echoes Metallica’s “One” just a little too closely. Overall, a rather unexpected, but very welcomed risk from the band.A generous sliver of credit can and must be given to the albums producer, Josh Wilbur, who was adamant from the beginning that he would be approaching the record as a fan of the band. An approach Max cites as one of the core components that bring the record to life. Eleven studio albums deep, Cavalera an co. have produced what is easily the best Soulfly album in years. ‘Ritual’ honours the bands roots and core sound, bringing them into this new chapter, this exciting era, this rebirth of Soufly.

Album:

SOULFLY will release their 12th studio album 'Totem' on 5 August via the Nuclear Blast label.The disc, which follows 'Ritual' (2018), was recorded at Platinum Underground Studios in Mesa, Arizona, with sound artists John Aquilino and Arthur Rizk and their assistant John Powers. Rizk, known from his collaborations with KREATOR, MUNICIPAL WASTE, CODE ORANGE and others, also produced the material along with SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera. Rizk also played lead guitar. The aforementioned Powers (ETERNAL CHAMPION), Chris Ulsh (POWER TRIP) and John Tardy (OBITUARY) made guest appearances on the record. The cover was drawn by James Bousema.Max Cavalera comments, "'Totem' is a celebration of spiritual nature. Me and Zyon (Zyon, SOULFLY's drummer and Max's son) spent two years writing the material. This album is about all the joy, fun and anger that metal has."In a recent interview for the Rez Metal podcast, Max said the following about "Totem": "It was created a bit differently. Mostly me and my son Zion were just playing together, and we wrote most of the material. And then I got a friend and producer called Artur Rizk, he worked with POWER TRIP and CODE ORANGE. Arthur is a cool guy. And I was curious what kind of sound Arthur would make for the SOULFLY album if he was in charge of the process. And we created something that I personally think... It's almost like a biography of Max's music. We cover everything from his first steps...so there's some black metal moments, some death and thrash, some groove metal, everything. This album really represents all kinds of offshoots of metal. That's why it feels very diverse. Ultimately, I just wanted to make a quality album with the right attitude that would just say, 'We're here to make p****z'. That's what we do. That's why I love playing metal so much - it gives me energy.""This album is really intimately connected to nature, and that's really cool," Max explained. I think this SOULFLY album has more of a nature mystique on it - spirits of the forest, mystical animals, etc. It's cool.We have worked hard on the material. And I think Arthur did an amazing job.I don't want to describe the album in too much detail - I'd rather people listen to it and decide what to think of it. But for me, it's a really energetic SOULFLY album. After so many albums, if you can still put out an energetic record, it says something about your career - you're not slowing down, you're going the other way. So I'm still on the cutting edge. I feel like I'm rejuvenated, I feel like a young man playing metal again. It's great when you have things like that. Especially as you get older, a lot of people get softer and slower. I'm not one of them. I want to play even more wild and heavy. But definitely with a SOULFLY groove, because I think that's one of the key elements of SOULFLY. So we really pay a lot of attention... In fact, we added a lot of percussion, so it's kind of a return to albums like 'Primitive', some of the grooves go back to songs like 'Primitive' and 'Boom', but there are other songs too, very aggressive, similar to modern extreme metal, which I listen to a lot now in other bands' performances.
