Dalete Hungria

Dalete Hungria is the solo project of Alessandro Souza from Rio de Janeiro. He started it in 2007, working across rock, metal, and Brazilian folk sounds. The project's first album came out in 2009, titled 'Diálogo Com Deus' after one of its tracks. That song, along with others like 'Põe Na Arca' and 'Casa Vazia e Casa Cheia,' helped establish his approach to spiritual themes.

His lyrics about faith and the human condition have sometimes drawn criticism from religious groups, but he's kept writing in that vein. As a black metal act from Brazil, he's also faced some skepticism within the metal scene. Through four albums up to 2018's 'O Retorno,' he's maintained a blend of heavy music with Brazilian influences, avoiding easy categorization.
