SOULFLY Mainman Talks About 'Omen' Artwork; Video Available

April 15, 2010

Video footage of SOULFLY mainman Max Cavalera talking about the artwork for the band's seventh album, "Omen", can be viewed below.

Throughout his musical career, Cavalera has always had a hand in selecting his cover art, so it's no surprise that he commissioned the David Ho image of the "Seven Deadly Sins" used for "Omen", due on May 25 via Roadrunner Records.

"Omen" will be made available in a standard edition and a special autographed (while supplies last) limited-edition CD/DVD with access to an exclusive MP3 download of the song "Kingdom".

"Omen" was recorded at Edge Of The Earth studios in Hollywood, California with co-producer Logan Mader (MACHINE HEAD, DIVINE HERESY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, GOJIRA, DEVILDRIVER) and it features guest appearances by THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN frontman Greg Puciato and PRONG mainman Tommy Victor.

Of the collaborations, guitarist/vocalist Max Cavalera says, "The first one is a song with Tommy Victor from PRONG sharing vocals on a song called 'Lethal Injection'. The other is 'Rise Of The Fallen', with shared vocals from Greg Puciato, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN's singer. I also recorded two B-sides with both of my sons playing drums. Igor Cavalera plays on EXCEL's 'Your Life, My Life', and Zyon Cavalera plays on SEPULTURA's 'Refuse/Resist' cover."

In a recent interview with the Metal Assault web site, SOULFLY guitarist Marc Rizzo stated about "Omen", "It's right to the point. There's a real hardcore, punk vibe to the record. Short tunes. This record is kind of different for us and I think the fans are going to like it a lot."

SOULFLY filmed a video for the song "Rise Of The Fallen" during the band's March 17, 2010 live performance at the Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie, New York. Directing the clip was Dale "Rage" Resteghini, who has helmed over 550 music videos since 2003, including clips for such metal bands as MUDVAYNE, HATEBREED, ANTHRAX, and SHADOWS FALL. Rage has also directed videos for some of the biggest names in the hip hop world, including Lil Wayne, Diddy, Snoop Dog, and Ice Cube.
