The most high Soulfly

Hi everyone,

I’m here to notice you that a major metal band, Soulfly, is coming to Portugal in February, more exactly in 16st February of 2009, playing at Coliseu dos Recreios.

Soulfly is a heavy metal band formed in 1997 in Arizona by Max Cavalera, who formed the band after he left the influential band Sepultura and the death of his stepson Dana Wells. Soulfly incorporates diverse heavy metal genres with world music. This tendency, to incorporate world music in metal, was already clear in Sepultura, Max Cavalera wanted to explore it.

Before Max Cavalera formed Soulfly, he made a guest appearance on the Deftones album “Around the Fur” in 1997 on a song called Headup. This song was about Well’s death and it is said that Cavalera got the name for the band from the lyrics of this song.

This is a link for Headup song.

The band has gone through numerous formation changes, but has been stable since the 2005’s album Dark Ages.
Like I’ve mentioned before, in Sepultura Cavalera had shown an interest in world music as one can notice in Roots, featuring elements of Brazilian tribal music. This approach continued on the Prophecy album with Cavalera travelling to Serbia to record with traditional musicians.

The band has released six studio albums:
. 1998 – Soulfly
. 2000 – Primitive
. 2002 - 3
. 2004 – Prophecy
. 2005 – Dark Ages
. 2008 – Conquer

The current Soulfly’s line-up is:
. Max Cavalera – vocals and rhythmic guitar.
. Marc Rizzo – Lead guitar.
. Bobby Burns – Bass.
. Joe Nunez – Drums.

Soulfly are coming to Portugal following the release of their last album, Conquer, in a European Tour.
I recommend this concert to everyone who likes metal and besides the tickets have an accessible price.
I leave you with this link where you can check them out.
