Igor Cavalera



 (currently 53 years old) is a brother of Max Cavalera who is the drummer and percussionist for Cavalera Conspiracy. Max and Igor formed their first band Sepultura in 1983 and released six albums before Max quit the band in 1996 following dispute and betrayal with other members, including Igor. Igor would stay with the band for ten more years, releasing four more albums before he quits due to what he said "artistic incompatibility." Max and Igor would perform together for the first time in ten years, playing two Sepultura songs "" and "". The show inspired their decision to develop a new project, leading to the formation of Cavalera Conspiracy. They said Cavalera Conspiracy has greater similarity to Sepultura than Soulfly is, mainly because the two brothers are together.
