"Soulfly" is the first LP by metal band Soulfly released in 1998 through Roadrunner Records.

The record was released in memory of Max's murdered stepson. Both CDs have the message 'In Loving Memory Dana' printed across them.

Album information

The record features many guests, including members of Fear Factory, Limp Bizkit, Dub War and Deftones among others.

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 16, November 2005.

'The Song Remains Insane' is pieced together by two other songs, opening with a cover of 'Caos' by Ratos de Porão and secondly a brief reckless hardcore rendition of 'Attitude' by Sepultura.

'Umbabarauma' is a cover of a 1976 song by Brazilian musician Jorge Ben Jor, which originally featured on his album África Brasil.

The breakdown riff in 'Tribe' originated during Max's time still in Sepultura - most likely created during on-the-road demo jams during the Roots tour though evidently never recorded in any complete demo form. As such, the riff was also used by Sepultura members Andreas Kisser and Igor Cavalera as the main riff to 'Walkman' during their scoring of the movie No Coracao Dos Deuses, recorded the same year as Soulfly's 'Tribe'.
