Soulfly is a metal band that has been fusing grooves, thrash, and alternative elements with a tribal intensity since its formation in 1997. The brainchild of Brazilian-born frontman Max Cavalera, who previously made waves in the metal scene with Sepultura, Soulfly carries the torch of his eclectic influences and innovative approach to heavy music. After leaving Sepultura, Cavalera sought to forge a new path, blending his love for aggressive music with spiritual themes and diverse instrumentation, which has often included the use of Brazilian folk instruments and percussion.

The band's career spans over two decades and is marked by a continuous evolution of sound, while maintaining a core of heavy riffs and rhythmic complexities. From their self-titled debut album in 1998, which set the tone for their unique brand of metal, to their most recent full-length offering, "Totem," Soulfly has consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre, garnering a loyal fan base along the way. Known for their powerful live shows and Cavalera's commanding presence, Soulfly has cemented itself as a staple in the world of heavy music. Their discography is a testament to their longevity and commitment to exploring new sonic territories, evident in albums such as "Omen," "Archangel," and "Ritual," as well as their live recordings like "Live Ritual NYC MMXIX" and "Live at Dynamo Open Air 1998".
