Designed by longtime Samoan tattoo artist and sometime
modern primitive Leo Zulueta in 1998 for Sepultura mainman
Massimiliano "Max" Cavalera after he decided strike out on his own with
Soulfly in 1997. The conventional wisdom among tattoo aficionados is that one should never get a band logo tattoo because it's so transitory a statement - but what about a band logo designed by a tattoo artist? Evocative of a tribal shield, it's a constant in a band that changes musicians as often as it travels through musical styles: metal, thrash, world music, deep groove. They are also quite possibly the
heaviest thing to come out of Phoenix since the
video game and the comic book
mutant who has the power of tacky housing subdivisions and used car lots.
