Soulfly, founded in 1997 by Max Cavalera after his departure from Sepultura, blends the roots of Brazilian metal with groove, tribal and nu metal influences. From their self-titled debut in 1998, the band established a fierce yet spiritual sound, fusing ethnic percussion, incendiary riffs and a deep sense of unity and rebellion. This unique balance of aggression and transcendence has made Soulfly a defining name in global metal.

Albums such as Primitive (2000), Prophecy (2004) and Dark Ages (2005) cemented the group’s signature blend of tribal fury and social awareness. Soulfly’s sound stands out for its rhythmic intensity, grooving heaviness and spiritual undertones rooted in Max Cavalera’s Brazilian heritage.
