It's not just Max that is keeping the Cavalera name going, it turns out his family is also extremely talented within the music business. His wife Gloria remains integral to Max's career behind the scenes, his ridiculously talented brother Igor still drums on the joint project Cavalera Conspiracy and his sons carry the metal torch in various different aspects. Fans now have more Cavalera's to headbang to.

Zyon Cavalera has not only taken up the drumming mantle for Soulfly, but he along with fellow sibling Igor Cavalera front their own band Lody Kong, a uniquely vicious brand of metal that utilizes skin peeling guitar riffs and chaotic song structures to dazzling effect.

Not to be outdone by his brothers however, Richie Cavalera has also rose to prominence as vocalist for the incendiary metal band Incite. They are sheer head on brutality in its purest form, spanning three terrific thrash/groove metal albums to date. Both acts share one common denominator with their father - relentless aggression.

Not many families possess the musical prowess of the Cavalera's. What's even more endearing is that they keep the family a tight knit unit by touring together. And who said metal performers were heartless beings?.
