IGGOR CAVALERA

Iggor Cavalera (born September 4, 1970, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a Brazilian musician. Along with older brother Max Cavalera, he is a founding member of the Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura.

Igor is now the drummer for Cavalera Conspiracy, Soulwax, Petbrick and other projects. Cavalera is one half of the DJ duo Mixhell, a project he founded with his wife, Laima Leyton, in 2006.

Iggor started playing drums at a very young age. In the first albums, his drumming was chaotic, following the thrash norms of the '80s. However, his innovative style in the album Chaos A.D. brought tribal elements into the songs.

Cavalera has been widely recognised as a notoriously hard-hitting heavy drummer throughout his career.

Although drumming has been his main activity since the ’80s, Iggor has always experimented with electronic instruments such as drum machines and synthesisers.

He is also a music producer and experimental artist.
