In other news, Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares recently made a guest appearance on a new track from Soulfly. The collaboration appears on Soulfly’s newly released 13th studio album, Chama, which arrived on October 24, 2025. The band has also premiered a music video for the song “No Pain = No Power,” a track that frontman Max Cavalera has described as carrying a distinctly “very punk” attitude.
Alongside Cazares, the song features additional guest contributions from Gabriel Franco of Unto Others and Ben Cook of No Warning. The accompanying video was directed by Max Cavalera’s son, Soulfly drummer Zyon Cavalera, and incorporates a strong UFC-themed visual aesthetic.
