Soulfly‘s animated “Favela/Dystopia” music video debuted online this morning, April 14th. Creeptoons oversaw the animation and direction of this clip from the Max Cavalera-fronted groove metal outfit. The band themselves likened this new offering to being a blend between the visuals of Tim Burton‘s enduring 1993 animated fantasy film ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas‘, and the atmosphere of ‘City Of God‘, a gritty 2002 Brazilian gangster film centered around the the lives of youth in the slums of Rio de Janeiro.
This video lands amid Soulfly‘s ongoing tour as direct support to shock metal icons GWAR. Australian grinders King Parrot are opening that run, which continues on as follows:
