SOULFLY recently entered the studio with producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MONSTER MAGNET, WINDS OF PLAGUE) to begin recording its tenth album for a late summer release via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

Speaking to Spotlight Report at this month’s Soundwave festival in Australia, SOULFLYmainman Max Cavalera said (see video below): “The next SOULFLY comes out in August. I’m finishing the vocals right now. The music is all done. It was done with Matt Hyde in L.A., and it’s incredible. [It’s] a really good record. I’m very happy with this record. And I’m gonna be, probably… after the SOULFLY album comes out, I’m probably gonna be one year or a year and a half on the road for SOULFLY.”

In a recent interview with SkullsNBones.com, Max Cavalera said about SOULFLY‘s upcoming CD: “I need to prepare a really good SOULFLY record for the fans. I really wanna do it killer. And the more time I spend writing the riffs and getting the ideas for the SOULFLYrecord, the better record it will be. Instead of waiting for the last minute and do it real quick… Hopefully [I can] think of some cool guests to be on the tenth record — the big tenth record. We’re gonna try to make some kind of campaign about [it] — ten records; that’s quite amazing. But we’re gonna try to make a really cool [album].”
