Reiter in Fobos is a Brazilian heavy metal band that formed in Brasília in 1998. Their name combines the Greek word for knight with the Martian moon Phobos, which gives you a sense of their thematic territory. They've put out several albums since their self-titled debut in 2001, including 'A Lua' in 2005 and 'Caos' in 2016.
Their song 'A Lua' became something of a signature track for them, though it also got them into some trouble with Brazilian radio stations who objected to its lyrical content.
The band has worked with a rotating group of musicians over time, with Rafael Bittencourt on vocals and guitar, Marcelo Da Matta on lead guitar, J. Augusto on bass, and Bruno Valverde on drums at various points. They haven't been especially prolific in recent years, but their earlier material still finds listeners who appreciate that blend of heavy riffing and cosmic themes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
