SOULFLY präsentieren die zweite Auskopplung aus ihrem für den 05. August angekündigten, zwölften Studiodreher „Totem“. Nach `Superstition´ erblickt somit `Scouring The Vile´ mit Gastvocals von Obituary-Fronter John Tardy das Licht der Welt. Als weitere Gäste der brasilianischen Metaller sind auf der neuen Scheibe John Powers (Eternal Champion) und Chris Ulsh (Power Trip) vertreten.

Die Band kommentiert wie folgt:

„“Scouring The Vile“ is SOULFLY’s personal f*ck you letter to cancer! The lyrics are angered by the loss of loved ones. It was amazing to share the vocals with an old veteran, John Tardy of Obituary.“

Lyrics:

A WORLD OF SCARS IN THE BLEAKEST PIT

A REFUGE RAPED BRED IN HUMAN SHIT

 

INVOKE REWARDS TO DULL THE PAIN

TO SLAY – IN THE NAME OF REVENGE

 

SICKENING

CONCEALED – BEHIND MY DYING EYES

 

I RIPPED YOU FROM ME

CHOKING ON AIR

SCOURING THE VILE

 

FURIOUS RAGE AGAINST THE DYING LIFE

CLOSE YOUR EYES, RECEIVE THE HOST

NEUROTIC WAVES, MENTALLY ENSLAVED

ALL LIFE SLIPS AWAY

 

THE TUMOR GROWS, SPREADS HIS WINGS

DEGENERATION OF EVERYTHING YOU KNOW

A FRAME OF MIND, DISMAL SOUL

IMMORTALIZED IN DYING GLOW

 

SICKENING

CONCEALED – BEHIND MY DYING EYES

 

I RIPPED YOU FROM ME

CHOKING ON AIR

SCOURING THE VILE
