Soulfly will release a digital EP on February 9. The six-track Blood Fire War Hate Tour EP will feature the Conquer album version of “Blood Fire War Hate” and the following songs recorded live in Poland in 2005: “Prophecy, “Downstroy,” the Frontlines,” “Living Sacrifice” and “Mars.”
Soulfly will launch a European tour on January 28 in Stuttgart, Germany. Dates run through March 27 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Incite, which is fronted by Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera’s stepson Richie, will open all shows. If the kid sometimes sounds a little bit like Max, well, he has an excuse.
Between rehearsals for tour, Max Cavalera announced his favorite albums of 2008.
1. Bad Brains Build a Nation
Killer Bad Brains s–t with a mix vibe of Quickness and I against I.
2. Disfear Live the Storm
Awesome technical metal with great guitar licks.
3. Gojira The Way of All Flesh
A really good Gojira album with Logan Mader’s killer sound and kind of a Roots guitar vibe.
4. Gogol Bordello Gypsy Punks
East European kings of punk with gypsy influence.
5. Turbo Trio Turbo Trio
The Brazilian Prodigy, Portuguese lyrics about violence, and a musical vibe of “City of God.”
6. Incite Divided We Fail
Incites EP is really a leap forward musically, and Richie’s vocals are kick-ass.
7. Agnostic Front, Warriors
One of the best hardcore releases of the year. A.F. is going strong after more then two decades. Much respect.
8. Amon Amarth, Twilight of the Thunder God
Killer heavy s–t with a Nordic vibe, kinda like old Bathory. Awesome winter music.
9. Agoraphobic Nosebleed Insect Warfare
Grindcore to f–k s–t up, enough said.
10. Hirax The New Age of Terror
Classic thrash metal from Katon de Pena and gang. Check out “Unleash the Dogs of War.”
