🔥 SOULFLY Release New Music Video: “NO PAIN = NO POWER” 💀

New Music Video Unleashed + CHAMA Out Now via Nuclear Blast Records

Arizona’s extreme metal icons SOULFLY return in full tribal fury with their thirteenth album CHAMA — a blazing, bone-crushing testament to Max Cavalera’s unshakable creative spirit. The record summons the primal roots of SOULFLY’s legacy while igniting it with a modern, war-torn vitality. Heavy, spiritual, and raw, CHAMA proves that nearly three decades in, Max is still a master of the metallic ritual.

⚔️ ‘NO PAIN = NO POWER’ – THE WAR CRY
The new single, “No Pain = No Power,” erupts as a tribal-metal battle anthem, embodying SOULFLY’s trademark rhythm-driven ferocity. Featuring Gabriel Franco (Unto Others), Ben Cook (No Warning), and Dino Cazares (Fear Factory) on guitar, the track channels pure resistance and transformation — a sonic declaration that strength is forged through struggle.

Directed by Zyon Cavalera and edited by Cody Longhere, the accompanying video merges the worlds of metal and UFC, transforming pain into empowerment.

💬 Max Cavalera on ‘No Pain = No Power’:

“To me, this is the ultimate guest song and video. Nikolas Motta, Biaggio, Dino, Igor A, Bootsie, Gabe, and Ben made this a collective masterpiece! Zyon took this album and video to the next level — it’s the first time he wrote and directed a video. Mixing UFC and Metal will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of fans! Chama!!”

💬 Zyon Cavalera adds:

“It feels like just yesterday we were watching UFC fights as a family, dreaming of collaborating with a fighter. Then we saw Pereira using ‘Itsari,’ and we were hooked. ‘No Pain = No Power’ proves your dreams aren’t that far away.”

🔥 CHAMA – OUT NOW
Recorded at Platinum Underground Studio (Mesa, AZ) with producer Zyon Cavalera and Arthur Rizk (who also mixed and mastered), CHAMA captures the sound of evolution — tribal groove, industrial grit, and unrelenting spirit.

⚡ SOULFLY IGNITES WITH NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “NIHILIST” FEATURING TODD JONES OF NAILS

Arizona’s extreme metal juggernaut SOULFLY is back with fire in their veins, releasing the crushing new single “Nihilist” alongside a visually searing music video. The track, which features Todd Jones of NAILS, is the latest glimpse into the band’s upcoming thirteenth album CHAMA, set to arrive October 24th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records.

🎶 Raw Aggression, Tribal Fury

“Nihilist” embodies everything fans love about Soulfly—tribal grooves, bludgeoning riffs, and unapologetic ferocity—while pushing their legacy forward. Produced by Zyon Cavalera, the song is a generational collaboration that sharpens Soulfly’s sonic blade with modern intensity.

Directed by Costin Chioreanu, the video was filmed in Bulgaria and drenched in apocalyptic imagery that perfectly matches the track’s brutal energy. Watch here.

Max Cavalera explains:

“My lyrics are inspired by LG of Entombed and Nihilist. He left this earth in 2021 and was always a big influence on me. This is one of the heaviest songs on the record, and I love that Todd Jones came in and delivered the hardest line on the record: ‘I don’t believe in anything!’”

Guitarist Mike De Leon adds:

“From the depths of the deepest tribes, we bring you the new Soulfly. This being my first official video ever with the guys is a complete honor. Crank it up and start the living room mosh pits!”

GO AHEAD AND DIE Unveils Music Video for ‘Tumors’ + Announces New Album ‘Unhealthy Mechanisms’ Releasing 10.20.23

Arizona’s death-crusters, GO AHEAD AND DIE, are gearing up to release their blistering sophomore album, “Unhealthy Mechanisms,” on October 20th via Nuclear Blast Records. Crafted from the fervent minds of Igor Amadeus Cavalera (HEALING MAGIC) and Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY), this latest addition to the band’s dystopian discography delves deeply into society’s madness and the mental pollution plaguing our minds.

The album’s first glimpse arrives in the form of the single ‘Tumors.’ This headbanging track serves as a resounding call-out to the toxic elements of life, often likened to “tumors,” which, if left unchecked, can metastasize into a cancerous existence. The accompanying animated video, brilliantly created by Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu, amplifies the song’s powerful message.

Max Cavalera enthuses, “The new G.A.A.D. is on its way! More brutal, feral, extreme, and intense than ever before! The album goes in a deep dive into the mental health subject and it’s produced by Igor A! It’s by far the most anarchist record I’ve ever been a part of in my entire career!”

Igor Amadeus Cavalera adds, “I’m so excited to release this monster of a record! This album will take you through the darkened madness of declining mental health. It is definitely the heaviest record I’ve ever created, and I can’t wait to unleash it on the masses! G.A.A.D.!”

Witness the might of the new single ‘Tumors’

The mixing and mastering were deftly handled by Arthur Rizk (CAVALERA, SOULFLY, TURNSTILE ). The eerie artwork, in perfect harmony with the album’s title, was envisioned by Santiago Jaramillo of Triple Seis Design. The record stands as GO AHEAD AND DIE’s testament to the global struggle of deteriorating mental health, serving as a reminder that our pain is shared. The mind may be lost, but the fuse is lit, ready to ignite everything in its path.
