Arizona extreme metal trailblazers SOULFLY unleash the groove-heavy onslaught of ‘Favela/Dystopia.’ Taken from their latest album, “Chama”, the track features Zyon Cavalera commanding the kit, injecting a modern intensity into the band’s signature tribal-infused sound.

Max Cavalera states:

“Nightmare Before Christmas meets City of God! This video showcases the struggles of Brazilians living in the favelas, with the thrash metal side of Soulfly’s Chama. Amazing animation by Matt Creeptoon!”

“CHAMA” was recorded at the Platinum Underground Studio in Mesa, Arizona by John Aquilino. John has worked with Max and company multiple times before and is not only a talented engineer but a family friend. The album was produced by Zyon Cavalera and Arthur Rizk. The latter was also responsible for the mixing and mastering. Rizk has not only worked with the Cavalera family numerous times before, but has also helped to shape the world of heavy metal in the modern day. SOULFLY enlisted Carletta Parrish to create the album artwork. For the album, Igor Amadeus Cavalera (GO AHEAD & DIE, NAILBOMB, HEALING MAGIC) played bass and Mike De Leon played guitar. The album also includes features from Dino Cazares (FEAR FACTORY) and Todd Jones (NAILS).
