In April of 2009 four Brazilian bands will invade the European stages. The movement is an itinerant festival named
Beyond the Chaos, with Brazilian Metal and Rock acts and the goal to shake the continent. This first edition of the
event will feature only Brazilian bands, seeking new experiences and tendencies. This will be the first time that four
Brazilian artists tour Europe together. The first time ever.
The pioneers of this movement are Sayowa, Maldita, Envydust and Seita, and they are ready to deliver
to European crowd pure tropical heavy music.
Everything is global, allowing anything to happen anywhere. It means overcoming chaos, transposing barriers,
showing our roots and reborn with a new music, full of attitude. In this first step the Brazilian invasion will take
place in 10 cities, going through Holland and Belgium. Beyond the Chaos is also about going beyond music. It is about overcoming chaos by helping others, as well as
making a lot of noise, of course. Part of the profit made with the tour will be reverted to humanitarian organizations.
Besides that, social awareness videos will
be aired between the concerts, showing the crowd the reality we live in today and how to make your part to improve it.
This will be the first edition of a festival that will travel all over Europe in it’s second invasion, even bigger, but this
time featuring world acclaimed artists. We are going Beyond the Chaos now!! Get prepared for exciting performances, hallucinating music and an unforgettable concept.
Loudness, distortion, Rock, samba drums. This is a good start
to try to define what SAYOWA is about. This six musicians from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have been together for 6 years now and have made quite a few cool things: three European tours; shows with Megadeth, Sepultura, Fear Factory, Pro-Pain and POD; two albums, “Treme Terra” (Earth Shaker)
and “Sayowa”, with the names Andreas Kisser, Billy Graziadei and Andrés Giménez. And they are just beginning.
SAYOWA is ready to make ears ring in Europe once again, appearing on the Beyond The Chaos tour and releasing their second album, “Sayowa”, produced by Andreas Kisser. Bring your ear-plugs.
Their message is about the unexplainable, hell, blood, evil and offending all moral and religious values of our catholic society. MALDITA was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2001 by the hands of singer Erich. In 2005 the band released it’s first album, “Mortos ao Amanhecer” (Dead at Dawn), featuring their first hit “Anatomia” (Anatomy). In 2008 the tour for MALDITA’s second album, “Paraíso Perdido” (Lost Paradise), featured a show supporting Marilyn Manson in Rio de Janeiro, a show that opened many doors and still echoes in the band’s career.
Right now MALDITA is in studio recording their third album.
In 2005 ENVYDUST released "Quando Estar Vivo Não Basta" (When Being Alive is Not Enough), their fist album, with songs that became anthems over the band's three years of existence, causing a huge impact in the scene that was still growing in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, their hometown. It is fair to say that the album has helped lots of new bands in the scene finding their own direction.
The band released their second album called "UM" (One) in march 2008. The album comes in digipack format, with a 28-page booklet, but is sold in Brazil for a popular price, a band's strategy to continue selling CDs in an MP3 world. "UM" tells 3 stories, with 4 songs each, separated by 2 instrumental interludes, summing up to one hour of musical experience.
SEITA is a Brazilian four-piece band hailing out of Amsterdam that stands for straight up death/thrashmetal.
Inspired by the contradictions, passions and violence of their homeland, and infused with new views provided by a life on the move, SEITA delivers a sound best described as pure aggression in its most visceral form.
Early in 2007 drummer Dom Mura (ex-With Pride) and vocalist/guitarist Michel Gambini (Retturn) got together and, ignoring the latest fads in the music scene, started writing material. Within no time they had punched out songs that they felt had the potential to go beyond the walls of their rehearsal room – an energy later boosted by creative guitarist Edson Munhoz (Rooted).
