It seems that Soulfly bassist Bobby Burns has quit the band. In a recent Tweet, Burns writes: "To all the fans... Soulfly and I have decided to part ways. Stay tuned for my next projects already in the works."

A statement from the Cavalera camp is expected any time soon.

Burns was part of the band for seven years and appeared on four studio albums. He also sings and plays guitar and bass in a hip-hop/punk/metal band called Primer 55.

UPDATE

The Cavalera camp has indeed confirmed the split with bassist Bobby Burns, as announced yesterday. "Soulfly have indeed parted ways with bassist Bobby Burns. The split was completely amicable and there was no animosity on either side," a statement on the band's website reads.

Johny Chow, who plays with Max and Marc Rizzo in Cavalera Conspiracy (and is also a member of Fireball Ministry), will be loaning his skills to upcoming Soulfly tours for the immediate future until the position is filled. Live dates available here.

Soulfly bassist Bobby Burns has issued the following update:

"Stoppin' by for a quick second to say hello! Its been a real busy year for us and as I write this we're all finally back home in our collective home cities relaxing and packing up to head into the studio in L.A. this Friday to begin recording the new Soulfly record! We've been playing together better than ever in recent times and we're all really excited to get to work on the new shit! I've been 'thinking' about doing some sort of video diary on my mac from the studio sessions to kinda keep everyone in the loop and possibly post them up like once a week on my MySpace page but I have yet to make up my mind. Other than that. Talks of more touring in the new year but I'm not sure yet.

My wife Joy and I are expecting our first baby, a son due February 4th! Ryder Lee Burns is his name and I'm so fucking excited / scared / nervous I can barely stand it! He'll be a little rocker for sure! He's already been to 3 Primer 55 shows and five Soulfly shows and he's not even here yet! Needless to say I'll be taking the month of Febuary off to be at home with him and my wife. So I hope I won't be missing any of the Soulfly tours but what can ya do...

That's that in a nutshell.

In the studio with Soulfly this month, Primer 55 on tour December through January, meeting my son Ryder for the first time February 4th!

I'm a busy man."

The following update was posted on Soulfly's official website:

"Soulfly entered the Porch Studios on September 12th to begin recording their next full length album, the followup to 2005's "Dark Ages", and here is the first studio update since the process has begun.

After recording up until the end of September, the band was able to complete nearly all of the basic tracking for the recording - including the majority of drum, bass, rhythm guitar, and lead guitar tracks. Working titles for some of the 13 songs which were tracked include 'Burndown', 'Enemy Ghost', 'Axis Of Wrath', and 'Blood, Fire, War, Hate'. For the time being, Soulfly has put recording at the Porch with engineer Tim Lau on hold; ever since they left the studio on September 29th, Max has been traveling throughout Egypt and Siberia with recording devices, and when he returns he will begin to mold the samples, noises, and music that he collects during his travels into the framework of the songs which he jammed out with Marc, Bobby, and Joe last month. Vocals and percussion have only been completed on a handful of songs, but Soulfly plans to go back to the Porch before the end of the year to complete tracking. After that, Andy Sneap will be doing the mixing on this one! As of now, you can expect the next album to be ready for release by early summer of 2008.

We leave you today with some photos from the band's last weekend of September in Florida! Keep coming back for recording, mixing, and promotional updates straight from the guys in the band until the release next summer!"

Check out some photos from the recording studio at this location.
