SOULFLY frontman and guitarist Max Cavalera has entered the studio with producer John Gray (SOULFLY’s Primitive and Dark Ages, MINISTRY) to write and record the music for ESPN’s World Cup 2014 coverage. Being of Brazilian roots, and with the love of soccer flowing through his veins, this is a dream come true for Max. Zyon Cavalera (drummer SOULFLY, LODY KONG) will be slamming on the drums, and adding some Brazilian flavored percussion as well.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup begins Thursday, June 12.
The band’s latest album Savages was released as a limited edition digipak CD, 2LP vinyl and digital download on October 1 (North America) and will be released October 4 (Europe) via Nuclear Blast. Guest vocal appearances on Savages include bass player Tony Campos, Max Cavalera’s other son Igor Cavalera (LODY KONG), CLUTCH’s Neil Fallon, NAPALM DEATH’s Mitch Harris and Jamie Hanks of I DECLARE WAR.
