Brazil's Soulfly had their third concert in Sofia Friday, managing to fill the Hristo Botev Hall, with thousands of exalted fans for an hour and a half of raging emotions and kicking music.

Supported by Italians Linea 77, Soulfly's show was well worth a third visit and many fans admitted that having seen the metal kings twice was not nearly enough.

Lead singer Max Cavalera, who marks 20 years since his first album with Sepultura this year, could have easily shamed plenty of young bands with his unending energy and his devotion to the audience. He gave them all of himself, including his jacket which he threw to the crowd, causing a turmoil.

One Bulgarian fan was especially thrilled to be called on stage and get to join in on Cavalera and his guys beating three large drums in one of the definite highlights in the evening.

Following the good traditions Soulfly started with a song from their new album - Dark Ages, and did not miss to treat the fans to some old Sepultura favorites like Roots Bloody Roots.

Guitarist Marc Rizzo amazed the crowd with his several magnificent solos that he performed with incredible precision and lots of heart.
