Ritual is the upcoming Soulfly album to be released on October 19, 2018.[2] It will be the eleventh Soulfly album and third through Nuclear Blast label.[1] It will be the third Soulfly album with Max Cavalera's son Zyon behind the kit. The featured guests on the album will be Randy Blythe of Lamb of God and Ross Dolan of Immolation.[5] Three singles were released from the album—"Evil Empowered"[2], title track "Ritual"[3], and "Dead Behind the Eyes"[4].
The album was produced by Josh Wilbur. Max Cavalera published the statement and said "For this one, we really tried to retain the groove of early Soulfly as well as my love for the heavy, fast stuff I'm into: like death and black metal and some hardcore. Working with Josh Wilbur for Soulfly this time around has been amazing. He's a huge fan and added a lot to the record. I would fight for the fast songs and he would always push me to add more groove. I think in the end we created a really cool mix of songs that covers a lot of ground in my career."[5]
