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!”
