“If you face problems, face reality, even when it's hard, even when wha...” — Max Cavalera Quote

If you face problems, face reality, even when it's hard, even when what you're saying is an ugly truth, sometimes you can wake up faster and do something to make things better.

The Soulfly logo was invented by a tattoo artist, Leo Zuleta; a lot of people don't know that.

Roots' was the first album on which I recorded a berimbau. After that, I recorded it a bunch for Soulfly and other projects. I really enjoy the instrument even though it's only one string. It's really unique-sounding. It's very striking, and you know right away that it's a berimbau - it's one of a kind.

A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.

If I were old, fat and ugly, I don't know if anybody would be interested in me.

Age is an ugly thing, and it goes on getting worse.

Very ugly things were said about me.

Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.
