SOULFLY entered Edge Of The Earth studios in Hollywood, California on November 6 with producer Logan Mader (MACHINE HEAD, DIVINE HERESY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, GOJIRA, DEVILDRIVER) to begin recording its new album, tentatively titled “Omen”, for an early 2010 release.

In a recent interview, SOULFLY mainman Max Cavalera stated about the songwriting process for the band’s next album, “We’re thinking about making the songs a little shorter, so if you can imagine maybe a little bit like MINOR THREAT mixed with [SLAYER’s] ‘Reign In Blood’ mixed with SOULFLY, with still some world music, but much smaller, and the songs not so long — shorter. It’ll be more aggressive than ‘Conquer’ [album] even, because it’ll be shorter — it’ll be like when SLAYER did ‘Reign In Blood’, [that] kind of thing.”
Working songtitles set to appear on the follow-up to last year’s “Conquer” include:
* Bloodbath And Beyond
* Soulfly VII
* Off With Their Heads
* Omen
* Rise Of The Fallen
* Great Depression
* Apocalyptic Clash
