SOULFLY check in with the following update:
"Soulfly entered the Porch Studios on September 12th to begin recording their next full length album, the follow-up to 2005's Dark Ages, and here is the first studio update since the process has begun.After recording up until the end of September, the band was able to complete nearly all of the basic tracking for the recording - including the majority of drum, bass, rhythm guitar, and lead guitar tracks. Working titles for some of the 13 songs which were tracked include 'Burndown', 'Enemy Ghost', 'Axis Of Wrath', and 'Blood, Fire, War, Hate'. For the time being, Soulfly has put recording at the Porch with engineer Tim Lau on hold; ever since they left the studio on September 29th, Max has been traveling throughout Egypt and Siberia with recording devices, and when he returns he will begin to mold the samples, noises, and music that he collects during his travels into the framework of the songs which he jammed out with Marc, Bobby, and Joe last month. Vocals and percussion have only been completed on a handful of songs, but Soulfly plans to go back to the Porch before the end of the year to complete tracking. After that, Andy Sneap will be doing the mixing on this one! As of now, you can expect the next album to be ready for release by early summer of 2008.
We leave you today with some photos from the band's last weekend of September in Florida! Keep coming back for recording, mixing, and promotional updates straight from the guys in the band until the release next summer!"
In related news, Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo has dropped off the Metal Crusade. No more details on the matter are available at this time. Stay tuned for updates.
