Listen To Brand New Soulfly Track "The Summoning"

SOULFLY has set "Ritual" as the title of its new album, tentatively due in October via Nuclear Blast . The follow-up to 2015's "Archangel" was recorded with producer Josh Wilbur , who has previously worked with LAMB OF GOD , GOJIRA and ALL THAT REMAINS , among others.

Fan-filmed video footage of SOULFLY performing a new song called "The Summoning" , which will appear on "Ritual" , on June 28 in Zwolle, Netherlands can be seen below.

Max recently told PureGrainAudio about "Ritual" : "I know musicians [always] say their new record is their favorite, but [this new] SOULFLY [album] really hits home, man, because it's got a little of everything that I really love about SOULFLY . It's got some of the tribal elements back in the groove, and it's got a lot of fast stuff. It's almost like a 'tribal thrash' record, which is kind of… it's never been done before. So it's a real political and spiritual [album mixed] with tribal [and] thrash [sounds]. The tribal grooves go right in hand with fast thrash, death metal stuff. So it's pretty cool, man. I think people are gonna be turned up when they hear the new SOULFLY ."

Max told Jack Antonio that the new SOULFLY album would include "a song about a Navajo murder that happened on a Navajo reservation — the police killed this young girl and I was really intrigued with the whole story and we made a song out of it," he said.

As for the disc's musical direction, Max said that it has "a little bit of a 'Chaos A.D.' [ SEPULTURA ] kind of feeling to it — that kind of groove, but also [with elements of] thrash. It's a contemporary record — it feels like it's done right now. I'm really stoked on it. I think it does kind of have that classic 'Chaos A.D.' feeling to it, which is great; I think it's really cool to have that kind of feeling on the record."

Max also praised his SOULFLY bandmates' contributions to the new album, saying: " Marc Rizzo [ SOULFLY guitarist] is doing some amazing guitar stuff. All the players — Zyon [ Cavalera , Max 's son and SOULFLY drummer] did a great job on the drums. I tried really hard to have different topics and different lyrics, so my vocals are a bit different and I'm touching different subjects on the album. So all that together makes it into something special."
