A Brazilian metal group that started in São Paulo's late-'80s scene and kept evolving.
For a sense of their range, check out 'Brigas De Amor' from their 1995 album and the later track 'Livre'. Both give you a good feel for how they balanced heavy and melodic sides.
They came out of São Paulo's metal scene in the late 1980s, and their self-titled debut single 'Labaredas' became an early anthem. Songs like 'Brigas De Amor' showed they could mix heavy metal with more reflective moments, and later albums like 'Império do Fogo' brought in thrash and progressive touches. Their track 'Companheiro' stayed in their set for years, hinting at a steady presence in Brazil's metal underground.
The founding lineup included Guilherme 'Billy' Antonio on vocals, Sérgio 'Serginho' Adur on bass, and André 'Andréas' Becker on drums. They released their first album in 1995, also called 'Labaredas', and followed it with 'O Despertar do Guerreiro' in 1998, which featured a guest appearance from Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser. Over time, the lineup shifted with members like keyboardist Ricardo Della Vecchia and guitarist Edgard 'Ed' Moscardini joining in the late 1990s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
