Gabriel Henrique – Guitar
The son of bassist Cássio Henrique, from the traditional heavy metal band Vírus, known for the classic album SP Metal (1984), Gabriel has been exposed to metal since a young age, and it is still a big part of his life. Left-handed, he struggled early on to find an instrument, so he reversed the strings on an old acoustic guitar at home and began playing and studying on his own at 14, getting his first electric 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 dove into other projects such as Mortruz, Ratlock and Kolapso. His main influences are 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 – and the list goes on.
