Metal icons Soulfly, who were founded by the legendary frontman and guitarist Max Cavalera, have released the lyric video for Bloodshed, which is taken from their upcoming album Savages as the first single. The lyric video, which can be viewed below, was created by Tommy Antonini, who is the guitarist for Italian post-hardcore unit Tasters.
The song, Bloodshed, features Cavalera’s son Igor on guest vocals, who has already played with the band on their recent run of European dates. Commenting onBloodshed, Max said the following:
The song is about the absurdity of the human condition in territories plagued by bloodshed all over the world. Not just recent events like Iraq, but also historical conflicts such as the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, etc.
Savages is due for release via Nuclear Blast on 30th September. The artwork was created by renowned artist Paul Stottler, who is best known for Sacred Reich’s legendary Surf Nicaragua cover. Produced, engineered and mixed by renowned sound guru Terry Date (Pantera, Deftones, White Zombie), Savages will be released as a limited edition digpack CD, 2LP vinyl and digital download. Guest vocal appearances on Savages include bass player Tony Campos, Max Cavalera‘s son Igor Cavalera (Lody Kong), Clutch‘s Neil Fallon, Napalm Death‘s Mitch Harris and Jamie Hanks of I Declare War fame.
