Extreme metal trailblazers SOULFLY will deliver their tribally fueled thirteenth album, ‘Chama’, on October 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Today, SOULFLY offers fans the first taste from the album in the form of the lead single ‘Storm The Gates’. A battle cry against control and greed, the track summons ancestral strength and unites the tribe in rebellion — heavy, primal, and unapologetically relentless. The lyric video, which was created by Costin Chioreanu, can be seen below.
SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera comments: “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!”
‘Chama’ was recorded at the Platinum Underground Studio in Mesa, Arizona by John Aquilino. The album was produced by Zyon Cavalera and Arthur Rizk.
