Soulfly have released a visualizer video for “Dead Between the Eyes,” from their forthcoming album, Ritual. The song features guest vocals from Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe.
In an interview with Sweden's Rocksverige, frontman Max Cavalera said about Blythe's involvement:
“I had already written the lyrics so I sent him all my lyrics and it was just good to have the Randy voice on it. He´s got a real distinctive voice, really unique and that´s what I like about guys like him. It´s very original and you know it´s him. That song, the vocal pattern is really based on [Sepultura’s 1987 effort] Schizophrenia and ”From the Past Comes the Storms.” It´s totally influenced by that.”
Ritual was produced, recorded and mixed by Josh Wilbur, and features cover artwork by Eliran Kantor. Additional booklet art as well as package design was handled by Marcelo Vasco. The album features multiple guests, including Blythe and Ross Dolan (Immolation).
