HEAVEN'S GUARDIAN
It
took months in the studio for the band Heaven’s Guardian from
Goiânia/Brazil to produce a work that could gather everything they
glimpsed when they passed through radical changes in 2013. With the
addition of new players and boasting two singers, new possibilities were
open. Now, Olívia Bayer and Flávio Mendez (vocals), Ericsson Marin and
Luiz Maurício (guitars), Murilo Ramos (bass), Arthur Albuquerque (drums)
and Everton Marin (keyboards) present the album Signs.
Recorded
at Mr.Som studio (São Paulo, Brazil) the album was produced by Marcello
Pompeu and mixed and mastered by Heros Trench, both professionals who
conquered a Latin-American Grammy in 2010. Heavier, without losing its
melodic essence, Signs pictures this new phase with different
guise and identity than what the now septet Heaven’s Guardian was doing
previously in its career.
Besides
playing in the country’s greatest venues like Via Funchal (SP) and
Claro Hall (RJ) and playing alongside legends like Saxon, Megadeth,
Blind Guardian, Sepultura, Helmet and Tim "Ripper" Owens, Heaven’s
Guardian was the first Heavy Metal group from the Brazilian state of
Goiás to get approval from 'Projeto de Incentivo a Cultura da Prefeitura
de Goiânia' (City of Goiania Cultural Incentive Project). Such fact
made possible to finish the DVD "X Years On The Road – Live At Gyn
Arena", which celebrated ten years on the road and had the largest
audience for a Rock group at Goiânia Arena Stadium with 4 thousand
people present in the event held in May 7, 2005.
Their
first record was "Roll of Thunder" (1999) which drew attention from
various labels. Thus, Heaven’s Guardian established a partnership with
Brazilian record company Megahard Records, that released their first
album, Strava (2001). Critics liked some melodic and heavy tracks like "Fighters", "Freedom" and "Hope".
In 2004 was released "D.O.L.L." till
then their most labored and audacious work, produced by Paulo Anhaia –
four times Latin Grammy winner who worked with bands like Wizards,
Monster and Tuatha de Dannan. D.O.L.L. was released in many
countries including Japan, where Burrn! Magazine called it "essential
for Rock fans" and gave it 9 out of 10.
In
2008, with the departure of singer Carlos Zema, Mario Linhares (Dark
Avenger, Harllequin) took over and remained in the band until 2011. Even
with changes, work and dedication are characteristics that never lacked
in Heaven’s Guardian and new album, Signs is proof of that. The group now intends to start a series of shows and register their performances.
