Gabriel Henrique – Guitar
The son of bassist Cássio Henrique, from the traditional heavy metal band Vírus, known for their classic album SP Metal (1984), Gabriel has been exposed to metal since a young age, and it continues to be a large part of his life. Left-handed, the guitarist faced the difficulty of finding an instrument early on, so he reversed the strings on an old acoustic guitar at home and began playing and studying on his own at age 14, receiving his first guitar at 15 as a gift from a close friend of his father.
He formed his first band in 2023 with drummer Bene Nalin (Thramentor) as a hobby, but in mid-2024 he joined Cyberpunch and later immersed himself in other projects, such as Mortruz, Ratlock, and Kolapso. His main influences come from classic thrash and heavy metal guitarists such as James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Andreas Kisser, Silvio Golfetti, Marcello Nicastro, Zakk Wylde, Dave Murray and Scott Ian – but the list goes on.
