Igor Cavalera Biography

Igor Cavalera is one of the most popular and richest Drummer who was born on September 4, 1970 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Drummer for the Brazilian metal band, Sepultura, who went on to join Cavalera Conspiracy.

He and Andreas Kisser were both members of Sepultura.

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.

In the early Sepultura albums his drumming was loud and fast, following the thrash metal style of the 80s. He mastered this style by 1987–1991 (with Schizophrenia, Beneath the Remains and Arise). His innovative style in the album Chaos A.D. brought tribal elements into the songs. One example of his contribution is the introduction of the song “Territory” (1993, Chaos A.D.). He further developed this style in the 1996 Roots album, adding more tribal elements to Sepultura’s music.

He was raised in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
