Soulfly Deliver 'Scouring The Vile' feat. Obituary's John Tardy

Last month Soulfly returned and announced their forthcoming twelfth album Totem was set for release on August 5th via Nuclear Blast. They also dropped the record's opening track 'Superstition' and metalheads everywhere were keen as f*ck for what else was to come...

That day has arrived with the band dropping 'Scouring The Vile', a nasty guitar-driven jam where once again frontman Max Cavalera opens his throat and screams his way back into your life. It's raw, thrash metal goodness and certainly going to please even the biggest of metal critics, especially when you realise it also features Obituary's John Tardy!

On the new song, the band says:

"Scouring The Vile" is SOULFLY’s personal f*ck you letter to cancer! The lyrics are angered by the loss of loved ones. It was amazing to share the vocals with an old veteran, John Tardy of Obituary.


Turn it up loud and let it sink in!
