Igor Graziano Cavalera (born September 4, 1970 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a Brazilian musician. He is best known as the former drummer for Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, which he co-founded with his brother Max in 1984. Max left the band in 1996, and Cavalera himself would depart ten years later. The brothers have since reunited in the band Cavalera Conspiracy. ==Biography== He, along with older brother Max, were the founding members of the Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura. Cavalera is now the drummer for Cavalera Conspiracy. He has played in the bands Nailbomb and Strife, and guest drumming in "Brasileiro," a song by Titãs. As his hip-hop influences grew stronger he began to DJ. Cavalera is one half of DJ duo Mixhell, a project he founded with his wife Laima Leyton. Cavalera started playing drums around 7 years old. He was into samba music as a child but, after watching Queen live in 1981 along with his brother Max, he started listening to rock music. When Sepultura was formed, Cavalera was the youngest member at the age of 13, his brother Max was 14 at the time. Sepultura was a big success and gave Cavalera an early start. On April 21, 1984, Cavalera played, for the first time, on a real drum kit, which was borrowed from Helinho of the band Overdose, that also played that night. After the band split with his brother Max (lead vocals/rhythm guitar) in 1996, their relationship underwent a crisis. In recent times their relationship has improved, with Max stating in an interview that a reunion with Sepultura was possible. Cavalera joined Max's current band Soulfly on stage at the 2006 tenth annual D-Low Memorial Show, to play the Sepultura songs "Roots Bloody Roots" and "Attitude". It was the first time the brothers had played together in ten years. In 2006, with the release of ''Dante XXI'', he began spelling his name "Iggor," preferring the way it looks. On January 13, 2006, it was announced that he was taking a break from the band due to the birth of his fourth child, initially leaving Sepultura temporarily. He later announced that he was quitting Sepultura due to "artistic incompatibility." Sepultura replaced him with Jean Dolabella. Cavalera was scheduled to collaborate with underground hip hop artist Necro, on a project described by Necro as in the style of "old-school '80s thrash/death metal." However, Necro mentioned later that the project will not go ahead. In 2008 he released the album ''Inflikted'' together with his brother Max in a project named Cavalera Conspiracy. He is credited as having made a guest appearance on Biohazard's 2001 release ''Uncivilization'' on the track "Gone". In 2012, Cavalera performed drums for the entire Strife album Witness A Rebirth, released via 6131 Records. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Igor Cavalera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
