Sepultura founding member and drummer Igor Cavalera announced earlier this year that he was taking a break from the group\'s touring activities.

The drummer prefers to spend time with his second wife and their new son, who was born in January 2006. Filling in on drums during the band\'s European tour was Roy Mayorga, who played with Igor\'s brother Max Cavalera in Soulfly for several years in the late \'90s and again in 2001-2003.

Jean Dolabella was until recently member of Udora. His former band originally formed in 1997 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil under the name Diesel. In 2001, the band gained nationwide exposure after winning, through a \"battle of the bands\"-style contest, a spot on the main stage of the Rock in Rio 3 festival. They opened the last day of the festival, performing alongside world-famous bands like Iron Maiden, R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, Britney Spears, and Dave Matthews Band.

In 2003, the band decided to move to Los Angeles. Soon after the name Diesel was dropped to avoid conflict with Diesel Jeans. After playing several shows in small local clubs, they were signed to the J Records label and went into the studio with producer Matt Wallace to record their first album as Udora. However, after a lengthy tour of the U.S. supporting former Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell, J Records merged with RCA. The change in management was not well-received by the band and they chose to sever their ties with the label.

In 2006 drummer Jean Dolabella parted ways with Udora, with singer/guitarist Gustavo Drummond citing \"irreconcilable differences, both personal and musical\" as the motive of his departure.
