SOULFLY, the long-running Groove/Thrash/Death Metal outfit fronted by Max Cavalera, have released their new single “Scouring The Vile”, featuring OBITUARY’s John Tardy. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album “Totem”, out on August 5th through Nuclear Blast.
Max Cavalera comments: ” ‘Scouring the Vile’ is SOULFLY’s personal fuck you letter to cancer! The lyrics are angered by the loss of loved ones. It was amazing to share the vocals with an old veteran, John Tardy of OBITUARY.“
“Totem” was recorded at Platinum Underground in Mesa Arizona by John Aquilino and Arthur Rizk with assistance from John Powers. Produced by Max alongside Arthur Rizk (KREATOR, MUNICIPAL WASTE, CODE ORANGE), the album boasts guest appearances from John Powers (ETERNAL CHAMPION), Chris Ulsh (POWER TRIP), and John Tardy (OBITUARY). Arthur Rizk was also responsible for playing lead guitar on the record. The artwork for the album was created by James Bousema.
