Here's the thing Igor stayed on for 4 more albums after Max left, so he had no problem then with them being called Sepultura without Max. Then he left, so why should they change the bands name now? And they're releasing good albums. Maybe they're not everyone's cup of tea, but they have a big enough following of people that like them that they've been able to continue on. Paulo, and Andreas put a lot of sweat into that band as well so they deserve to keep the name if the other two decide to leave.

[daviemcevoy]

Igor is a helluva drummer, one of the best! The original great Sepultura will, unfortunately, never be whole again (unless, of course, we could go back in time, )

[frankmetal]

For too long I always considered Iggor the best metal drummer in Brazil. That was until Eloy Casagrande started to play in Sepultura and there is no doubt that today Eloy owns the crown of best brazilian metal drummer. And he is going easy to become one of the tops world´s drummer indeed....and talking about Cavalera brothers, for me they´re gone, Max can´t sing and Iggor doesn´t like metal anymore. He just still plays drums in metal because of his brother...

[mbratkee]

i would like to hear Igor opinion on Eloy drumming skilz...cuz kid is destroing batteria and in a year or two will be best drummer in the world(im confused how he is not allready)..

[oreally]

Bring back old school Sepultura- it will never be forgotten

[THESNEAKERADDICT]

seen 'sepultura' live tonight, felt like I was watching karaoke

[nathanwalsh]

Personally I think Max and Igor are a bit jealous because since Eloy joined the band the band has taken off to new levels musically. Face it the band is better musically/personally without you guys. Kind of like when David Lee Roth hoped Van Halen would tank once he left but as we know that didn't happen.

They have that metallica dave mustaine issues with andreas and Paulo

you can't have true sepultura without max andreas igor and Paulo

[JumpscareBandOfficial]

Never expected he is a fan of Death in June :O

[noeltheshemale]

Life is too short. I wanna see the original lineup.

[alaresrock]

Cavalera Conspiracy is the new Sepultura. There is no need for a reunion and without Max and Igor Sepultura really sucks.

[Oni]

Iggor rocking a Death In June shirt? nice

[tomasobertolini]

Sepultura ceased to exist in 1996, and not only because Max left but especially because the choice of the new singer was a complete mistake. With that said, Igor and Max are the main responsible for what happened. If they stayed together and backed together as brothers the other members cannot do anything about that. They conceived, created and then destroyed Sepultura by themselves.

[rodolfoalvim]

there's no better place for Igor than playing with his brother, like he said, the "Cavalera Core"... is unique as Dimebag and Vinie Paul on pantera, but when the hard times hit Sepultura, several times, both Igor and Max chose to leave and gave up that "BRAND", so is quite unfair to say, actually to think about "we made Sepultura, Sepultura do not belong to us, and there's nothing we can do about it, this is sad"...
for Igor and Max, that was a man's choice so act like a man and face it, you know...

[danielduarte]

So you see everyone is happy and dont want a reunion. The only wrong thing is the founders left and others keep the band name.

[MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

No need for it. Whoever saw Eloy playing doesn't want to see Igor anymore.

[danielpaez]

What pisses me off the most is to know that basically Kisser pushed Max to leave the band by kicking Gloria because of his jealousy, and even Igor supported this instead of backing his brother up. Kisser was just fucking jealous Sepultura was so big and influential at that time and that Max was taking the credit, but after all, Max created the band with Igor, he wrote most of the lyrics, was the singer and the soul of the band. What's even worse is that Andreas took advantage of a horrible situation to do this, he did this when Max was vulnerable and emotionally weak, that is just nasty, and of course this was also Igor's fault. I'm glad the Cavaleras are back, doing their songs from Sepultura and CC, but on the other side, is sad to see kisser exploiting a brand that has been dead for more than 20 years. Let's face it, even though Soulfly or CC will never be as successful as Sepultura, Max without the Sepultura's band created some cool projects, while Kisser without Sepultura's brand, would be playing guitar at some band or having a small Brazilian band.

[felixarzuaga]

What i dont understand is why didn't max kicked andreas out!? Wasnt that his band? No need for him too leave.

[absolutelyaidan]

Your title is sepultura community? I'm part of the sepultura community... I believe, what gives you the right to speak for all of us? They left voluntarily? Max was given an ultimatum by the rest of sepultura, they believed Gloria was representing max more than the rest of the band, which in hindsight I sopose was true, love leads blindly, and max ultimately picked Gloria, true love won, and if you think he voluntarily left.... Or made that decision Than you have no right to call yourself sepultura community... As for Igor it was never the same for him after max left and as he has said in an interview he didn't enjoy being in sepultura anymore... It was like forced labour... Like going to the bank... Also when his child was born he had a realisation that max should be part of his child's world and he swallowed the 10 yr argument and they made up, and are creating brilliant music together that's all that Get some knowledge before you Sepultura community??
