About Igor Cavalera
Igor Graziano Cavalera (born 4 September 1970) is a Brazilian musician, best known as the former drummer for the heavy metal band Sepultura, which he co-founded with his brother Max in 1984. Max left the band in 1997, and Igor himself would depart nine years later, making him the last original member of Sepultura to leave the band. The brothers have since reunited in the band Cavalera Conspiracy. He has played in the bands Nailbomb and Strife. 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. In 2016, Soulwax introduced a new live show entitled "Soulwax Transient Program for Drums and Machinery", for which the new line up included Cavalera as one of three drummers (along with Victoria Smith and Blake Davies) as well as Igor's wife Laima Leyton (of Mixhell) on synths and backing vocals. This live show was the basis for their album From Deewee, released March 24. Cavalera has remained an official member of Soulwax since then. When Sepultura was formed, Cavalera was the youngest member at the age of 13, his brother Max was 14 at the time. On 21 April 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. In 2012, Cavalera performed drums for the entire Strife album Witness a Rebirth, released via 6131 Records.
