Rising from the mystical Sonoran Desert, metal icons Soulfly are set to return to the American moshpits this Fall, tearing down the boundaries of a complacent society. Fueled by the indigenous roots of Chama and the raw power of fire, the tour will showcase brand-new tracks like “Favela Dystopia”, “No Pain = No Power”, “Chama”, and “Storm The Gates” alongside the classic anthems that have long united the Soulfly Tribe.
The 25-date U.S. trek kicks off with a featured festival appearance at Louder Than Life, with performances in Dallas, Salt Lake City, and West Hollywood before wrapping up with a massive hometown headline show in Tempe, Arizona, on October 15th.
Joining this devastating lineup is cult-favorite industrial sludge/crust punk outfit Nailbomb. Formed in 1993 as the legendary side project of Max Cavalera and Alex Newport, Nailbomb is crawling out of the vault to join the sonic demolition. Known for timeless, politically charged lyrics that scream the uncomfortable truths others won’t say, the band’s rotating, modern lineup ensures their anti-society message remains as razor-sharp and relevant as ever.
Rounding out the tour is the brutal reality of Richie Cavalera’s Incite. Since forming in 2004, the band has continually raised the bar, evolving through lineup shifts into a modern thrash powerhouse. Their highly acclaimed new single, “Just a Rat” (from Savage New Times), has already penetrated the metal world with the exact sonic grip fans have been waiting for.
This is a rare, legendary gathering of the Cavalera legacy. Don’t miss the OG SOULFLY teamed with the explosive Incite and a rare appearance by Nailbomb.

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 also 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).
