The Press Release:

Max Cavalera comments, “Hello SOULFLY Tribe! We are finally heading back on the road in the US. After being isolated by the pandemic we are ready to let it all out in the mosh pit with the Tribe! All the anger, frustration, and passion will come out of all of us with a killer new setlist and probably a new song from our 12th studio album! So let’s get ready to pit and destroy this fucking place. As always, fuck shit up and bring the shot. We cannot wait.”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Though I can’t be considered one of the ardent followers of the group, I do try to check them out when they come charging through town because its always a good time. I’m going to look into the regional show when the time comes and who knows, maybe we will even be able to do another ticket giveaway. Only time will tell and since I don’t know the opening acts at all, I’d like to catch them as well. What do you readers think about this announcement? Will you be hitting one or more of these shows? Chime in down below with your thoughts and stay tuned for more announcements like this as the tours begin to take shape after not having done so for far too long. See you next time.
