SOULFLY, the long-running Groove/Thrash/Death Metal outfit fronted by Max Cavalera, has announced its new album, “Totem”, scheduled to arrive on August 5th via Nuclear Blast. To celebrate the announcement, the group has unleashed a lyric video created by Aimed & Framed alongside 3D character artist Álvar Gómez Padilla for their first single, “Superstition”.
Max Cavalera comments on the album: “ ‘Totem‘ is a celebration of the spiritual nature. It was a 2-year journey writing with Zyon. This album is about all the joy, the fun, and the anger in Metal.”

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).
