Sepultura now has no original members left[views:15561][posts:27]_____________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 8:24pm - SeedBassist ""] Here's the story link: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo....aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=53598 Drummer Igor Cavalera has officially announced his departure from SEPULTURA (as exclusively reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET on January 13, 2006 and subsequently denied by both the band and Igor). In a statement released today (June 12) to the Brazilian media, Igor attributed the split to "artistic incompatibility" with his SEPULTURA bandmates — guitarist Andreas Kisser, bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr. and vocalist Derrick Green. "I believe my mission in SEPULTURA has come to an end," Igor said in the statement. "I am very proud of everything we have done, but I feel that the group's current formation no longer lives up to my expectations as a musician and a person. Since my last European tour with SEPULTURA, which took place in December 2004, I have sensed that my ideas were not compatible with those of the rest of the band." Igor, who hasn't performed with SEPULTURA since 2005, noticed that his personal ambitions were worlds apart from those of the other members of the group and he felt slightly detached from the creative process of SEPULTURA. "After working in a band for so many years, the relationship between me and the rest of the group wore itself out and I feel that there is no longer a compatibility of thoughts and ideas between us," he said. "I tried to make this clear to the other guys and suggested that we take a break. However, their priority was to continue playing despite my absence." As a drummer and musician, Igor will carry on and says he us looking forward to incorporating new sounds and influences — such as hip hop, hardcore, tribal percussion and electronic music — into his future projects to produce something authentic and real, similar to what SEPULTURA once represented in his life. According to Igor, the decision to leave SEPULTURA was one of the most difficult in his career, since he — as one of the band's co-founders — dedicated most of his life to it. "I would really like to thank all of the fans that supported me and continue supporting our music," he said. "I would also like to thank everybody that worked to make SEPULTURA the band that it had become." Igor announced earlier in the year 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). Filling in on drums during the band's 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. Igor is the second Cavalera to leave SEPULTURA. In 1996, Max Cavalera exited the group after the rest of the band fired Max's wife Gloria as SEPULTURA's manager. SEPULTURA have now officially selected Jean Dolabella (ex-UDORA) as their new touring drummer following Roy Mayorga's decision to join STONE SOUR as a full-time member. |

| ________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 10:41pm - moran ""] Paulo Jr. is an original member. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 10:43pm - xmikex ""] moran said:Paulo Jr. is an original member. that depends on what you mean by an original member. i believe there was sepultura before there was paulo. according to the Under Seige video at least. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 10:44pm - moran ""] Hes been on every release since 1985 at least. Thats the earliest lineup I've ever seen. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 10:49pm - pam nli ""] I don't care. As far as I'm concerned this band broke up well over a decade ago. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 10:52pm - ArrowHead nli ""] Paulo JR. has been in Sepultura from the beginning. Andreas Kisser has also been with Sepultura from the beginning, acting as Max's guitar tech/roadie for the first album and joining the band on Schizophrenia. |

Sepultura was writing/playing as just igor and max for a while before they recorded their first record. The first album featured Paulo JR., Jairo Gudez(sp?), max and igor. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 11:18pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Igor, just join Soulfly. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 11:20pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Tormentor (from Overdose) and Antichrist (from Sarcofago) were originally in the band, weren't they? |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 11:26pm - ArrowHead nli ""] Sepultura's first release was a split with Overdose. I don't think any of them was ever in the band, however. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 12,2006 11:27pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Tormentor was definitely in the band at one point. Way back. Metal-archives backs me up on that. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 13,2006 10:31am - HailTheLeaf ""] This sucks, they go and put out their best album since "Roots" and Igor leaves. And the first lineup that recorded anything consisted of Max, Igor, Paulo Jr., and Jairo Guedez |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 13,2006 10:48am - Morbid_Mike ""] Paulo Jr as well as Andreas are original and they are both on the Arise live video from the chaos DVD! |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 13,2006 11:04am - HailTheLeaf ""] Chaos AD was incredible, so were Arise, Beneath The Remains, and Schizophrenia. The new album is the best they've done without Max though. |

Either way, I haven't enjoyed anything they've done without Max; I just cant stand the new singer |
