The CAVALERA Brothers' New Single "Piledriver" Is All About Street Fighter 6

The Cavalera brothers Max and Igor "Iggor" Cavalera (f you've been living under a rock) are back with a song that has everything to do with Street Fighter 6 – or more specifically, to celebrate the release of Zangief's Outfit 4 in the game. Zangief's Outfit 4 will be available on October 15 alongside DLC character C. Viper and a collaboration with Chunsoft's 1994 visual novel Banshee's Last Cry. A special avatar gear with the Cavalera band logo on it will also be available for free too.

And yeah, I know. I didn't think much of this song either when I saw what it was for, but I was wrong. This song actually rips big time and the inclusion of Zangief's original theme toward the end of the track was a cool touch. Shout out to the Cavalera brothers for crushing it on this one!

Street Fighter director Takayuki Nakayama wrote on X: "Having grown up listening to Sepultura, Soulfly, and Cavalera Conspiracy, I never imagined that one day I would work with heroes like Max and Iggor. When I found out they had accepted the job — bands I loved since my school days — our sound team, made up of other metal lovers, and I went absolutely wild with joy."

He added: "They showed us their raw and unique worldview in Morbid Visions, made history with Chaos A.D., collaborated with my equally beloved Mike Patton on Roots (my favorite album) and gave me a lot of motivation when I heard 'Back To The Primitive', by Soulfly. What I'm trying to say is that I am truly and deeply grateful! Thank you."
