Soulfly Confirm Guitarist Mike DeLeon Is Only A Temporary Addition To Their Lineup


0

While it seemed as though Soulfly had lined up a permanent new guitarist with the recent addition of Mike DeLeon, it turns out his role is only temporary. DeLeon, who is known for his work with Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals and Incite, has only joined the Max Cavalera-led outfit for their immediate touring.

Clarifying the situation in the below video, Cavalera revealed that DeLeon has signed on for nine weeks of touring with Soulfly, including their impending U.S. tour. As for the future, Cavalera added, “we’re gonna keep introducing killer guitarists to the Soulfly tribe throughout the year.”

Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares has notably been holding down the lead guitar duties in Soulfly amid their touring over the past few years. That role in the band has remained open since the bitter departure of Marc Rizzo back in 2001. You can catch DeLeon performing with Max and co. on the below trek which will feature Bodybox as direct support.
