... and in other news.

Ill Bill has finally confirmed a September release date for his upcoming album The Hour of Reprisal. For those of you who didn't already know, Soulfly's Max Cavalera was invited to perform on this album on a track that Ill Bill created with the infamous Immortal Technique and Max. This will be underground hip-hop prodigy Ill Bill's second studio release, and it will feature guest spots from B-Real of Cypress Hill, Darryl Jenifer and H.R. of Bad Brains, Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage, Jedi Mind Tricks, Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan, Tech N9ne in addition to Max and IT. You can hear Max make his debut on a hip-hop album on the track "War Is My Destiny". Pick up the album when it drops and go to myspace.com/illbill to stream "War Is My Destiny" featuring Ill Bill, Immortal Technique, and Soulfly's own Max Cavalera.

And also, former Soulfly guitarist and good friend to the tribe Mikey Doling has just reunited with his brothers and reactivated their band Snot! Snot were amazing friends with Soulfly during their time together, and only got the chance to release a single studio album before the tragic death of their lead singer Lynn Strait. After 10 years, Snot finally decided the time was right to play together again so they reunited the band with longtime friend former Divine Heresy vocalist Tommy Vext taking over lead vocals. It's time to celebrate for Lynn and Snot; visit them at their myspace and to say hello and listen to their new song "The Band Plays On". In honor of the occasion, here's Snot's performance of the aptly titled Beastie Boys' classic "Time For Livin'" with Max Cavalera during Soulfly 1998 U.S. tour! ..there's also footage from Snot's first show in 10 years (which took place last night) available here.

If you haven't noticed it yet, Soulfly will be releasing their sixth album Conquer in just under one week! Conquer will hit stores everywhere on July 29th. With the new record coming out, things are getting a lot more active in the Soulfly tribe. Max and Marc are out on tour with Cavalera Conspiracy, but the anticipation for the new Soulfly material has them doing double-duty. Many new videos about Conquer are popping up around the net, and here's some of the good ones so far.

Watch now: Max gives track-by-track description of Conquer
Watch now: Max and Marc live acoustic jam and reflection
Watch now: Max Cavalera interview with Roadrunner UK about Conquer recording

Although Conquer is only available in select countries so far, the metal media has already responded loudly and positively! Lots of positivity is surrounding the release of Conquer, and we here in the tribe hope you guys are enjoying the release. Let us know what you think in the forum, check below for confirmed tour dates, and check out these new reviews from Metal Hammer and Kerrang!

"Reeks of thrash, death and good old heavy fucking metal...any reservations old school Max Cavalera fans might have about embracing his current endeavours deserves to be swept swiftly under the nearest rug. Conquer is a great heavy metal record, pure and simple. (8 out of 10)" - Metal Hammer

"[Conquer is] packed with enough invention, aggression and sheer quality tunes to make most other metal bands blush. (4 out of 5)" - Kerrang!

Posted on 07.09.2008

If your anticipation for the new album, Conquer, wasn't already at an all-time high, maybe these reviews we've unearthed for the new album will help drive your impatience through the roof! These are the first reactions to the Conquer from some of Soulfly's peers in the metal community; if you're curious about how Conquer will sound, keep reading...


"Conquer is a statement of anger, fury and metal frenzy. This is Soulfly at its best. (4.5 out of 5)" - Nikos Patelis at Metal Invader

"Gone is the suffocating darkness that made Dark Ages such a great and unique album, and is instead replaced by an almost life-affirming assurance and complete love of what they are doing' Ð this is the sound of a band brim full of confidence... (8 out of 10)" - Derek Hemy at Planet Loud

"Soulfly is storming like a M1 Abrams tank at full force on the Iraqi savannahs...a true 'take no prisoners' attitude and a wall of guitars a load of polyrhythmic, aggressiveness and exquisite ferocity are up against well concealed melodic moments. (8.5 out of 10)" - Patrick at Lords of Metal

"It's a furious and intense release... this batch of songs is really memorable. (4.5 out of 5)" - Chad Bowar at About.com
