Phoenix, United States (1997 – present)

Soulfly is a nu-metal (early)/groove metal (later) band formed in 1997 in Phoenix, Arizona. Led by founder, frontman, songwriter and only constant member Brazilian Max Cavalera, who formed the band after he left influental Brazilian death/thrash band Sepultura in 1996. The band has released six studio albums, one tour EP, several singles, and two DVD videos. Soulfly incorporates diverse heavy metal styles with Brazilian tribal and world music. The band has had all six of their studio albums debut on the United States Billboard 200, with a peak position at number 32 with their second album Primitive and their debut album, Soulfly, has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. All of the band’s output has been released by Roadrunner Records.

The band has gone through numerous line-up changes, but the line-up has been stable since 2004’s Prophecy. Their most recent album Conquer was released in 2008.

Formation

Brazilian heavy metal songwriter, guitarist and singer Max Cavalera formed the band in 1997, following his split with Sepultura in 1996, and the death of his stepson Dana Wells. The lineup consisted of former Thorn and Nausea drummer Roy Mayorga from New York, guitarist Jackson Bandeira from Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, former Sepultura roadie Marcello Dias from The Mist on bass, and Cavalera on guitar and vocals.
