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.

Son Song Lyrics

Soulfly

Sometimes I dont
Want to face life
Sometimes I feel empty inside
But every moment is precious
And everyone will turn to dust
Dust myself up
And I scream at the sky
Its been so hard
But I cant let it die
Turn my head up
Looking at the stars
So many years
I still wonder where you are
Dust myself up
And I scream at the sky
Its been so hard
And I ask myself why
Turn my head up
Looking at the sun
Waited so long
Its time to move on move on
Look at the sun
Look at the sky
Another day another sign
And every moment is precious
And everything will turn to dust
Dust myself up
And I scream at the sky
Its been so hard
But I cant let it die
Turn my head up
Looking at the stars
So many years
I still wonder where you are
Dust myself up
And I scream at the sky
Every day I ask myself why
So much pain pouring
From inside
Above me I feel the spirit fly
