The title track of SOULFLY‘s tenth studio album, “Archangel”, can be streamed below. Due on August 14 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the CD was produced by Matt Hyde, who has previously worked with SLAYER and CHILDREN OF BODOM. The cover artwork was created by artist Eliran Kantor (TESTAMENT, ICED EARTH, SODOM).
Pre-order “Archangel” in a bundle or by itself in multiple formats and from this location.
In regards to the band and the album cover, artist Eliran Kantor states: “I’ve been a fan of Max‘s music ever since discovering ‘Beneath The Remains’ in high school. When my wife and I got married, ‘Territory’ was even played at the dance party part of our wedding.
“Max asked me to do a traditional piece depicting Archangel Michael — and I tried to go beyond the straight-up neo-classical style as that has been perfected centuries ago, so I mixed in SOULFLY‘s own visual world: hence the wings and spear being shaped like the SOULFLY tribal icon, the cliff with the ocean view just like on the first record, and the Brazilian flag being the core of it’s color scheme.”
SOULFLY will embark on a North American headlining tour at the end of September. Joining them on this epic campaign are Swedish melodic death metal visionaries SOILWORK, Polish technical death metallers DECAPITATED, and hot newcomers SHATTERED SUN.
