2018 will be three years since Soulfly's last album Archangel, but that's all you'll have to wait for the new one. According to Max Cavalera in an interview with Backstage Axxess, the band will hit the studio in January with producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira) for a much more tribal record that was very much influenced by Cavalera Conspiracy's extremely thrashy new album Psychosis.
I’m actually writing right now. I’m collecting the riffs right now and getting the ideas. We are already kind of booked for January with Josh Wilbur, the producer of Lamb Of God and Gojira and Killer Be Killed. I think he’ll be great for the Soulfly record; he’s a great producer.
I’m excited, because I think the album will have a little bit of a return to some tribal sounds that I haven’t done since Prophecy. So that’ll be cool, to return to some of that. And then the rest of the album will be a continuation of Archangel; a lot of people like Archangel.
And, of course, I think that it will be also somehow influenced by Psychosis, ’cause Psychosis was such a cool record that I’m sure that somewhere in the Soulfly record we’ll have the influence of that on top of it too. So it’ll be a really cool record to work on.
I think what Max is trying to get across here is that the new Soulfly album is going to be really, really good. So now we wait!
