Igor Cavalera, ex-drummer and founding member of famed Brazilian metallers Sepultura, will rejoin his estranged brother Max for the first time in ten years. Both brothers parted ways after a bitter disagreement over a decade ago, after Max\'s wife and manager – grieving the loss of her son in a car accident – was replaced with another tour manager at the behest of Igor.
\"I hope people are going to be very excited about it because it\'s going to be a very special album for us regardless of what happens on it. It\'s the first time I\'ve worked with my brother in 10 years in the studio. (...) In many ways it\'s pretty historic and even magical for me – 10 years is a very long time. This project is going to be very much like a volcano exploding. We\'ve had so much anger and aggression building up, and I know that Igor is going to f***ing destroy the drum kit in the studio. I really doubt the drum kit will even survive the recording, and I hope doesn\'t. So far it\'s sounding very aggressive, but again, at this point there are no rules or limitations with it. It\'s going to be mainly just me and Igor, but I want to have some other guys involved with it. It\'s going to be similar to Nailbomb in that it\'s only two guys, some friends, and one album – but it\'s definitely going to have it\'s own style. It\'s metal Cavalera style, and it\'s the closest thing that anyone\'s going to get to seeing any type of reunion. I don\'t know what the f**k is going to happen with it, but I\'m very excited to see where it goes and what we can do.\"

Igor Cavalera left Sepultura in June 2006 due to \"artistic differences.\" He has since been replaced by Jean Dolabella (ex-Udora). Igor\'s departure from Sepultura came five months after he announced that he was taking a break from the group\'s touring activities to spend time with his second wife and their new son, who was born in January 2006.
Filling in on drums during the Sepultura\'s spring 2006 European tour with In Flames was Roy Mayorga, who played with Igor\'s brother Max in Soulfly for several years in the late \'90s and again in 2001-2003.
