For five years on the road, traditional heavy metal band is well known on Sao Paulo nights

The city of Sao Paulo is perhaps the main home in terms of heavy metal in Brazil. If not enough big names that originate in the city as Angra, Korzus, Viper, Dr. Sin, Shaman, Noturnall, etc, we can also say that bands like Sepultura and Krisiun became known worldwide after moving to Sao Paulo.

Primator is the new name of heavy metal from Sao Paulo. With five years down the road, the band is already well known on the nights of Sao Paulo for several shows already made at major rock bars in the city as Manifesto, Blackmore, Dynamite Pub, Gillan's Inn, Cerveja Azul, among others.

After a great season of rehearsals, concerts and pre-production, the band reached a technical and creative level they deemed ideal for locking in the studio and begin recording the first album of its career. Produced by Daniel de Sa (Andragonia, Crossrock, Strip No Altar), Primator's debut album still hasn't a title defined but is already being recorded at GR Studios in Sao Paulo and its expected to reach the stores in the second half of 2014.

Musically, the album is based on the classic heavy metal, but unlike the lack of criativity of many bands that rescue musically and aesthetically what was done in the 80s, Primator prioritizes identity and the contemporaneity of its art.
"We are in 2014 not in 1984," says vocalist Rodrigo Sinopoli. "We are a heavy metal band that prioritizes authenticity. We revisit the best of what was done before us in terms of heavy music, more specifically in the 80s and 90s, but to create a different musical concept in attuned to the individuality of each component. During the years we have developed a certain versatility to implement some more contemporary elements and leave aside all that, in our view, was "left", especially in aesthetic terms. Anyway, we played and sang our truth, the style of music we like and believe."
Besides Rodrigo, Primator is formed by por Marcio Dassie (guitar), Diego Lima (guitar), Andre dos Anjos (bass) and Alexandre Birao (drums).

On Primator's official Soundcloud channel are available two tracks that will be on the album, "Praying For Nothing" and the song that takes the name of the band, "Primator". www.soundcloud.com/bandaprimator
