Singles from Enslaved
  1. "World Scum"
    Released: January 25, 2012

Enslaved is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Soulfly.[1] It was recorded in fall 2011, mostly in Tallcat Studios in Phoenix, Arizona. Zeuss produced this album. This is the first album to feature Asesino frontman Tony Campos on bass, and the only album to feature former Borknagar drummer David Kinkade on drums, and their last studio album to be released through Roadrunner Records.

Album information

Guests on the album include Dez Fafara of Coal Chamber and DevilDriver[2] on "Redemption of Man by God" and Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation on "World Scum", whose vocals were recorded at Frick'In Studios in San Marcos, California. Ryan was brought in to record vocals in place of Adam Warren of Oceano.[3] One song features a guest violinist, among other new styles that they have incorporated into their sound.[4] The album features more death metal influence than their previous releases.

Songs

"World Scum" is the album's only single released on January 25, 2012 with a video released on February 16. The song "Revengeance" features Max Cavalera's sons,[5] and the lyrics are about the murder of his stepson Dana Wells. "Gladiator", leaked online several days before the release of the album, is a melodic song about Roman gladiators.[citation needed] "Plata O Plomo" features Marc Rizzo playing the flamenco guitar, as well as use of Portuguese and Spanish lyrics.[6] "Soulfly VIII" is the first Soulfly song to feature a violin, performed by Tim Sadow.[7]

The album debuted at number 83 on the Canadian Albums Chart.[15] According to Blabbermouth.net, Enslaved sold 5,900 copies during the first week of its release in the US, thus reaching number 82 on the Billboard 200 chart.[16]

Enslaved received mixed reviews by critics.[8] Then-drummer David Kinkade described the album as "Arise on crack."[17] According to PopMatters, "every song fits into the structure and tone to create a memorable record packed with outstanding content."[13] Q had a negative response because, according to them, world music elements are getting stale.[14] Greg Pratt of Exclaim! wrote that "this album is the band's best yet, as well as the least caught up in "look at this!" eccentricities, adding up to a solid outing, one that never quite gets to death metal, even with blast beats littered throughout. Instead, it's just huge, thick, thrashed-out, aggro-dude metal, but with, like, 20-percent less neon-dread content."[11]
