If you remember the big hair bands of the '80s, you definitely remember Twisted Sister and its flamboyant frontman, Dee Snider. Now, Snider is taking his talents to the movies and back to the stage. He wrote the script for a movie, "Dee Snider's Strangeland," which he stars in.
And how better to promote a movie than with a concert tour? Snider has assembled several of the artists that appear on the soundtrack, including Snot, Soulfly, (hed) p.e., dayinthelife, Static X and surprise guests, for the Strangeland Tour. Snider will host the 16-date road trip which kicks off September 8th in Los Angeles and plays theatres across the country. The metalhead package sprung from the minds of Variety Artists agent Gavin Hitt, TVT Records prexy Steve Gottlieb, Shooting Gallery Records topper Phil Carson and Soulfly's manager.

August 22, 1998 - European Tour Cancelled
Yeap, It sucks for the Euroflyin Fans, but since the are not going to be in Europe, that means that Soulfly will now be playing more in America, maybe even FLORIDA!
August 13, 1998 - New Single Info
The next single put out by Soulfly will be, Tribe. One of my favorites because of the beginning. Expect it to be out sometime in September and for it to most likely have a remix or two on it.
August 8, 1998 - New Sepultura Song
I have just heard the new single that is coming off of the new Sepultura album. Let me just say that I "choked" when I heard Sepultura's "Choke". The new singer sounds just like any ordinary 'death-metal' singer. There is no roots shown or any emotion. I now know who my favorite band is, it is SOULFLY!.
July '98 - Two Soulfly pages taken down
Two Soulfly pages have been taken down since the exit of their tour manager. I guess people think that Soulfly can not stay strong. Well to all the people that took down your Soulfly pages and hate Max Cavalera, FUCK YOU! I got two words for you... "SUCK IT!"
July '98 - Tour Manager Gone
Soulfly's tour manager decided to either quit or he got fired, but he is not going to be touring with Soulfly. Instead, his sorry ass will be touring with Slayer. Bad choice if you ask me, Slayer is old and nobody really likes them that much anymore. Soulfly is new, and all the kids love them, they have more of a bright future.

Logan Mader, out of Machine Head, into Soulfly
March 30, 1998
Every big fan of
Machine Head knows that Logan left the band soon after the world tour. But not to worry, Machine Head will stay strong and keep playing (hopefully). The good news is, is that Logan is now part of Soulfly.After filming the video for Bleed, Lucio
decided that he could not leave his childhood friends in his other band from Brazil. Gloria, knowing that Logan had recently quit Machine Head, called Logan
immediately and offered him the job. He is not a permanent member of Soulfly, at
this time, he is just being hired to do the world tour.
New Soulfly Symbol - March 21, 1998
Much like the
"Tribal S" for Sepultura, Soulfly has came up with their own symbol. This sign is tribal-like, and has a african presence to it. This looks like it would be a kick-ass tatoo.
