A hard-hitting sludge/thrash/punk-metal outfit based out of Phoenix, Arizona, Lody Kong was founded by brothers Igor and Zyon Cavalera (the sons of Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera) in 2011 after the dissolution of their metalcore band Mold Breaker. Enlisting help from local players John Bauer (lead guitar) and Shea Fahey (bass), the quartet issued a pair of demos in 2012 and served as the opening act on Soulfly's aptly named Maximum Cavalera Tour. The following year saw the release of the band's debut EP, No Rules, via Minus Head Records, and in 2016 the group released their first full-length, Dreams and Visions, which introduced new Lody Kong members Travis Stone (lead guitar) and Noah Shepherd (bass). ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
