The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWARthemselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWARproved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!

SOULFLY has been spearheading the movement of groove metal for decades now, reaching into limitless directions while seamlessly retaining the expert quality and perfection that bears the Cavalera seal of approval. Coming straight from the deep jungles of Brazil to the arid expanses of Arizona, Max and company are soon to deliver their thirteenth album, the mighty, heart-pounding, tribally fueled CHAMA. Once again, a remarkable testament to the Brazilian songwriter’s natural affinity for slamming yet rhythmic riffs that defined his signature sound to listeners around the world. A true return to the spiritual upbringing of SOULFLY that somehow bears a modern-day edge and vitality. Something that could only be attained by a true master of the craft, and Max has stunned us all again per usual.
It has always been apparent that Max has brought attention to Latin American culture, art, and spirituality through his music, and CHAMA brings him back to those dirty streets of Belo Horizonte as he screams in Portuguese. The name Chama itself literally translates to ‘Flame”, but it also embodies the burning vitality of the human spirit, the strength of ancestors, the forces of nature that bind us to the tempo of the earth. Accompanying the album CHAMA is the story of a boy from the dingy favelas of Brazil, who in search of a higher power, finds himself amongst the tribes of the Amazon, who show him the way of the jungle’s souls. Max comments that the album itself loosely follows this concept, the boy Chama finding his fire amongst the chaos and debris of a collapsing industrial world.
The tribes and indigenous peoples of the Americas play a large role in the inspiration for many of Max’s recordings, and Chama is certainly no exception, bearing the scene of a Navajo ceremonial dancer on the cover of the album. Featured on the inner label is also the image of Oxossi, a guardian of nature. Drums and fire and a ritual that beckons the summoning of ancestor spirits, a burning fuel that defies the darkness, SOULFLY ventures into these sacred spaces where few other metal bands dare to tread. The album kicks off with an intro track, ‘Indigenous Inquisition’, an homage to the genocide and extinction of the original American people, as Max hauntingly recites the names of long forgotten tribes, a proclamation to the bloodshed and warrior pulse of those wrongfully persecuted. An uprising for the underdogs, a home for the homeless, peace for the war afflicted. The song remains insane.
Max has been playing alongside his son, the enigmatic drummer, Zyon Cavalera for over a decade, and for the first time in SOULFY’s career, Max has passed the producing credits and creative direction to his son, and it’s clear to see the apple does not fall far from the tree. Zyon has brought an intensity and commitment to the band that is fresh and invigorating, stomping through song after song like a driven warhorse. If you’ve seen SOULFLY live with Zyon then you know he commands the stage from behind the drum set, directing the tempo and swing of each song like a well-seasoned general. Upon speaking to Zyon, he commented on the evolution of the music, exploratory sounds, the new blood brought to the band with the lineup changes over the years, the excitement of playing with new musicians. “For me personally, to have over ten years with the band has helped me grow and try new things musically. I think there is a strong fire lit within SOULFLY to take things to a new level. We’re not content to stand around, we are hungry.” He certainly displays this hunger, not only as a top-notch drummer, but also as a creative entity and a song structuring adept.
CHAMA was recorded at the Platinum Underground Studio in Mesa, Arizona by John Aquilino. John has worked with Max and company multiple times before and is not only a talented engineer but a family friend. The studio features the highest end Focusrite board, one of only three in the world, and is as prestigious as they come. Also featured on the producing credits is the masterful Arthur Rizk, who has not only worked with the Cavalera family numerous times before, but has also helped to shape the world of heavy metal in the modern day. You can throw a stone anywhere in a record shop and probably hit an album that Arthur worked on, and that is said with the deepest respect. Arthur truly brings recordings to life with his wizardly mixing and mastering, he is the obvious choice to flesh out any album of any extreme genre. His work on CHAMA cannot be overstated, he is one of the best in the business for a reason.
The familial ties do not end there though, Max has made it a point to work within his circle of talented sons, and CHAMA also enlisted the works of Igor Amadeus Cavalera, who played bass on multiple tracks and helped write the lyrics to the title track Chama and Favela Dystopia, a recognition to the grueling street life of the favelas of Brazil. Family means everything within SOULFLY, and the beating rhythm of the album flows like blood through veins, pulsing to the unique pattern of birth that runs as deep as tree roots into the earth.

King Parrot is a five piece band from Melbourne, Australia. King Parrot specializes in in grind core,
thrash metal and punk rock genre’s and have been operational since 2010.
The band consists of Matthew Young on vocals, Ari White on guitar, Andrew Squires on guitar,
Wayne Slattery on bass and Todd Hansen on drums.
The five members of King Parrot are accomplished musicians on the Australian scene and have
toured internationally since 2014, completing 18 tours overseas in North America, Europe and Asia.
In 2011 King Parrot recorded and released their debut EP, “The Stench of Hardcore Pub Trash” in
Australia through Impedance Records and Rocket distribution. The band began touring nationally and
were building a strong following through their energetic and entertaining live show and relentless work
ethic.
In 2012 the debut album “Bite Your Head Off“ was released in Australia through Impedance Records
and Rocket Distribution before the band was signed internationally to Candlelight Records in the UK.
This worldwide deal bought the band international recognition and the video’s for the songs, “Shit On
the Liver”, “Dead End” and “Bozo” bought the band further attention as they continued to tour in
Australia and in 2013 began supporting bands like Thy Art is Murder, Cattle Decapitation, and
Psycroptic as well as becoming a headliner in their own right. The band did their first international tour
to Indonesia and appeared at the Obscene Extreme Festival in Jakarta while also playing the
Melbourne Soundwave Festival to an enthusiastic hometown crowd.
They toured the US and Canada throughout 2014 as their fanbase and audience grew exponentially.
Their own headlining tour along with extensive tours with the likes of Origin, Cattle Decapitation,
Vatnett Viskar, Down, and Orange Goblin lead to them signing with US based Housecore Records for
North America, Agonia Records for Europe and the UK, and EVP Recordings in Australia.
The second King Parrot record Dead Set was written and recorded in the US throughout 2014 as the
band was touring and spending most of its time in the US. After completing their touring for the year
December 2014, the band headed to Philip Anselmo’s Nodferatu’s Lair studios in Louisiana to record.
Upon return the band landed a spot on the Soundwave tour in summer of 2015 and played large
festival shows throughout Australia.
The band proceeded to tour in Europe, the UK and then in North America with US act Weedeater,
before returning to Australia to launch their new album in May 2015.
During this North American tour vocalist Matthew Young became involved with popular US band
Soulfly. Lead vocalist of Soulfly, Max Cavalera and Matthew collaborated and performed on a track
together for the new Soulfly album “Archangel”. The song was entitled “Live Life Hard” and was
recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy award winning producer Matt Hyde. “Archangel” was released
late 2015 on Nuclear Blast Records and led to King Parrot being offered a support slot on the Soulfly
2016 European and UK tour.
A full-scale national tour for the Dead Set album took place in Australia throughout May 2015 before
the band returned to the US to tour alongside Housecore Records label mates Superjoint and Child
Bite in July of 2015.
The band completed further touring of Australia in 2015 establishing their now long running “Regional
Rampage” series where they visit many regional towns off the beaten track.
