Max Cavalera

Max Cavalera was born in Belo Horizonte to a Brazillian mother and his father was an Italian ambassador. Along with his brother Igor Cavalera he formed the death metal band Sepultura. The band was very popular and released several albums, with "Roots" and "Chaos A.D" both receiving critical praise. He also worked with Fudge Tunnel lead singer Alex Newport forming a side project known as "Nailbomb", with one of their tracks used for the Gus Van Sant film, _To Die for (1995)_ (that song being "Wasting Away"). There was somewhat of a shuffel near 1995, and Max Cavalera left Sepultura to form "Soulfly". Again he was the lead vocalist and played guitar, and with the new band released two albums, "Soulfly" and "Primitive". This year (2002) sees Cavalera's band release a third album in June. Max Cavalera also provided the more deeper screams for Dwayne Johnson's (WWE's "The Rock") Scorpion King character in The Mummy Returns (2001).
