Drummer Igor Cavalera has officially announced his departure from Sepultura. 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."
