Former SEPULTURA and current SOULFLY frontman Max Cavalera has confirmed SOULFLY's 25-date U.S.

tour, set to kick off at the Louder Than Life festival in Dallas on September 13, 2025.

The tour will feature performances in Salt Lake City and West Hollywood before concluding with a massive headline show in Tempe, Arizona on October 15, 2025.

The lineup includes cult-favorite industrial sludge/crust punk outfit NAILBOMB, which was formed in 1993 as Max's side project with Alex Newport.

Richie Cavalera's band INCITE will also round out the tour.

SOULFLY's thirteenth album, 'Chama,' was released on October 24, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The album was recorded at the Platinum Underground Studio in Mesa, Arizona, and co-produced by SOULFLY drummer Zyon Cavalera and Arthur Rizk.

Rizk was also responsible for the mixing and mastering of the record.

John Aquilino, a longtime collaborator of Max and company, served as the recording engineer and is a family friend.

The band previously completed the 'Favela Dystopia' 2025 West Coast tour with GO AHEAD AND DIE, which launched on November 1, 2025 in Roswell and concluded on November 23 in Flagstaff.

In a recent interview with Irina Marinescu of Rock FM România, Max Cavalera reflected on the nature of legacy in music: 'Longevity has a lot to do with it.

The amount of years you put into this helps.

But also — yeah, a little bit of everything.

It's never been all easy either.

It's been a lot of hardships, a lot of heartbreaks, even tragedy — losing real close people to you that had a huge effect in my career.

All of that.

You can't really separate the bad — the bad comes with the good, and you have to deal with that.

And, yeah, I think that's what makes people look at me a certain way.

But what I try to do that's very important, I think, is not having a big-headed attitude like a big rock star.

I don't like that.

I like to stay level-headed.

And I think it's good that I can, with having our crew, with my son in the band and my wife in the band, the minute I try to get a big head, they slap me and I'm right back down to earth.

Which is great.

I love that, because then you're not…,' In this business, it's very easy to think that what you do is the most important thing in the world, and it's not,' Max added.

'There's a lot of other people curing cancer and stuff like that — much more important — [or] on the war or something.

But I also like to believe that music is magic and we help people through music.

So what we do is also very important.

So we do it in our own way, help the world somehow through the metal, through the music.

And it's great.'"
