Within a year Stormental rose from out of nowhere and became a plesant heavy metal revelation from Brazil. Instituted in January of 2006, the quartet compromises Alexei Leão (vocals), Andrei Leão (bass), Hique d'Avila (guitars) and Marcos Feminella (drums). The band is currently finishing their first DVD “Mental Live Storm” and preparing their second studio full-length. Conquering achievements not commonly seen in Brazil, Stormental rages on.

Compositions blend the finest energy of heavy metal, the complexity of progressive rock and the speed of power metal. Defined as “Raw Prog-Metal”, the label was well received by the public – in Brazil and abroad. The baptism of fire was the first European Tour, when the band released their debut “Stormental” in the Old World. From august to september of 2006, Stormental performed in Germany, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic and was at the main stage with Gamma Ray, Primal Fear and Marduk at the “More Than Fest” in Slovakia.

With a pioneering attitude, Stormental made their self-titled debut album available for free download at their official website. In such a way, when Stormental toured Brazil after the release of the CD in their country (December of 2006), the public already knew all the eight songs from the album, which had its first copies sold quickly.

Being the debut album acclaimed by both public and the media, Stormental released in May 2007 the EP “Unleashing The Madness”. Keeping the daring attitude, the next step was the ambitious production of a live DVD. A sold out night was recorded in an one-hundred years old theater, located at the heart of Stormental’s hometown, in June of 2007. Nearly half thousand people saw a historical concert, produced in its whole by the band itself. Entitled “Mental Live Storm” and due on March of 2008, the DVD includes the complete concert, the official videoclips and the documentary “European Tour 2006” as bonus material.

For this year, Stormental plans a new European tour and the release of their second studio album, which will be produced together with Siedler Dance Company. This studio work will also contain a special DVD with a live performance of Siedler’s opus “Perception of the Other”, created by the dance company in collaboration with Stormental. Fear to dare? Never...
