Max Cavalera comments, “Chama is the Brazilian word for flame. It also means a ‘calling’.  Respect to Alex Pereira for usjng Itsari on his UFC walkouts.  Chama is inspired by the energy of this moment  This record is the sound of Soulfly’s fire!  I cannot wait to play these songs live for the Tribe!  Chama!”

Zyon Cavalera states, “With each Soulfly record I’ve played on, I can feel my evolution happening in real time. This record was no different as I got to handle a good amount of the production for the first time. Trying to take the band to places we have never been before was a blast and I look forward to more production work in the future!”
