Soulfly founder Max Cavalera has issued an update on the band’s lineup in yesterday’s (August 07th) episode of his ‘Max Trax‘ streaming series. Via that video he reveals that the band’s longtime lead guitarist Marc Rizzo‘s absence from their upcoming touring is a result of him being let go. Cavalera said of that:
“Right now, for the tribe, I wanna address something that is going on with Soulfly. Of course, it’s about Marc Rizzo. He did not leave the band. We decided to part ways with him due to personal reasons. I wish Marc the best on his career. I wanna thank Marc for the 18 years with Soulfly.”
