Former Soulfly drummer Roy Mayorga (photo), who played with Igor\'s brother Max for several years in the late nineties and again in the period 2001-2003, has been enlisted to do Sepultura´s upcoming European tour, with the possibility to stick around for further touring activities beyond the spring.

Igor Cavalera insists that he gave the rest of the band his blessing to seek out a temporary replacement in time for the group\'s forthcoming tour with In Flames.

Roy Mayorga, who has yet to rehearse with Sepultura, spent quite a bit of time jamming with Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser in preparation for the recently released \"Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions\" CD and the subsequent Roadrunner 25th anniversary concert, which took place last month in New York City.

Sepultura\'s European tour with In Flames is scheduled to kick off March 12 in Oslo, Norway. The band\'s new album, \"Dante XXI\", is scheduled for release in March.
