Ex-SEPULTURA Drummer IGOR CAVALERA Performs With NECRO In New York City

September 9, 2006

Former SEPULTURA drummer Igor Cavalera made a special appearance Friday night (September 8) with hardcore Brooklyn "death rapper" NECRO at B.B. King Blues Bar & Grill in New York City. According to a review at LivingForMetal.com, Igor "joined [NECRO] onstage during the fourth song of the set... for a freestyle type of song where Igor laid down drum beats and Necro rapped over them, then Igor stayed onstage and played drums to 'The Pre-Fix of Death' and killed it."

Necro recently announced that he has formed a brand new project with Cavalera, which he has described as "brutal old-school '80s thrash/death metal type of shit in the lines of DEATH, OBITUARY, SLAYER, METALLICA, SEPULTURA, [and] MEGADETH."

"Igor will be playing drums, obviously, I will be playing all rhythm guitar and some leads, as well as the bass, until I find our Geezer Butler/Cliff Burton," Necro told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "Currently I am that person that can play in that style, so I will handle bass for now. And I will make an attempt at doing the vocals as well. Being I am a highly respected rapper who invented the genres 'death rap' and 'metal hiphop' it shouldn't be an issue, plus for those that just think I am a newjack hiphop guy that doesnt know shit about metal, I was in a band called INJUSTICE when I was just the tender age of 12 years old. I currently have the INJUSTICE 1990 demo online at MySpace. Here is the link for anyone that wants to hear it: www.myspace.com/injustice1990.

"I was 13 years old when that demo was recorded, playing both lead and rhythm guitar, while my brother Ill Bill was playing bass and handling vocals at 17 years old. We had opened for SEPULTURA and OBITUARY at L'Amour [in Brooklyn] when I was 12, and also did many shows opening for bands like NAPALM DEATH at the Cabaret, SADUS, IMMOLATION, BIOHAZARD and LUDACHRIST."
