People usually say two things to me about "From Sacrifice to Survival". The first is "why is there singing on a Skinless record?", and the second is "great album, but I can't hear the drums". So, here are 5 "drums only" versions of the Sacrifice songs. One of them is a George Torres era song, so you can hear how things developed from ep to lp.

Soulfly was scheduled to enter a studio in Los Angeles, California on 11/6/09 to begin recording their new album for an early 2010 release. The group's bassist, Bobby Burns, writes on Soulfly's official forum, "We've been playing together better than ever in recent times and we're all really excited to get to work on the new shit!"

Craig Sternberg had the chance to interview Joe Nunez recently... Enjoy!

SDM: What's the latest with the new Soulfly record?  How far along are you guys?  

Joe: Max has put together the songs and picked out what he wanted to do.  Now we're basically just listening to what ideas he has and we're going to work from there.  We're in the beginning phases of it, although Max is probably in the advanced stages.  We'll put it together real soon.  

SDM: Do you have an idea of when the album will come out?  

Joe: No, I have no idea.  

SDM: Is there any specific goal you have in mind for this record that you are setting out to accomplish?  

Joe: Well, until I hear what he has in mind, I do want to venture out a little bit more.  Not do the same thing we did on Dark Ages and Conquer, they are really heavy metal albums, but for me I like to bust out of the plateaus you get into when you put out a good record.  Like Reign in Blood, they did that record and when they came out with the new record, it's like, are they supposed to repeat and do Reign in Blood part two?  So, same thing with me, in the sense that I want to be able to do something creative and fresh, a new sound for this new record.

This video of Inferno & Behemoth was going to be run in the September issue of Sick Drummer Magazine, but we decided to save it and rum it at a later date. Here it is... Behemoth in Rochester, NY in August 2009. Enjoy

Malicious Intent. Demo 1995: This is the first recording I was ever a part of and my starting point, or ground zero. Believe it or not, that snare drum you hear is a 14"x 8" Premier brass and I wish I never gave it away. I am still in contact with the rhythm guitarist/vocalist Chad Bryan. He is currently playing guitar in L.A's up and coming metal band White Wizzard. Enjoy ~ John Longstreth
