Upon his exit from Sepulturain late 1996, singer/guitarist/songwriter Max Cavaleraalmost immediately set out to form his next musical endeavor, the band described as one of the few bands both heavy and globally aware, Soulfly. Besides leaving one of the most popular thrash metal bands in the world, which he co-founded in the early '80s, he also had to deal with the unsolved murder of his stepson, as well as best friend, Dana Wells. Using music as therapy to overcome his depression, Cavalera put together a band that included (ex- Thorn, Nausea, Crisis, Medication, and Shelter) on drums, Jackson Bandeira on second guitar (ex- Chico Scienceand current Nacao Zumbi), while former Sepultura lightman Marcelo Dias (ex- The Mist, XXX, Slaughter, and Mayhem) rounded out the quartet on bass. Their self-titled debut album was released in the spring of 1998. After the release of that album Jackson left the band to be replaced by Logan Mader(ex- Machine Head) who continued to tour with Soulfly.

Prejudice Lyrics

Soulfly

Shame of all nations
What seeds do we plant in an infants mind
Seeds of destruction
And dont you trust their kind
This hate is deep rooted get rid of the weed
Destroying the harvest
Of peace that we need
Prejudice
Shame of all nations
We got to live in the same neighborhood
When you take a mans life it dont mean that youre good
Same blood runs through your veins
Your hate proves youre insane
See a mans face but you cant see his heart
Dont even know him but you tear him apart
Them kind of things theyre just killing off the earth
Madness mayhem we must desert
Prejudice
Shame of all nations
Breeding hate dont need no segregation
If dirty people are all I can see
Then in their eyes the same dirt covers me
Take off the blindfold its time to enlighten
Come out of the wickedness step out of the night
One mans agony is another mans joy
For self satisfaction were prepared to destroy
One man one earth and one destiny
To kill satan and give God the glory
Prejudice
Shame of a nation
Breeding hate dont cause annihilation
For real
