NOTURNALL: Announces Second Studio Effort
March 5, 2015
In January 2014, Thiago Bianchi (vocal), Fernando Quesada (bass), Leo Mancini (guitar), Junior Carelli (keyboard) - all ex-Shaman members -, and the drummer Aquiles Priester (Primal Fear) surprised the metal world with the announcement of the creation of new band Noturnall and the release of the debut album that came hitting several sales records.
On the following months, the group continued bombing the heavy music market with videos, shows and tours. In September was released its first DVD, "First Night Live", and the re-released of the debut on vinyl. In November they embarked on a custom motorhome for a long tour in Brazil playing 14 shows in nine different states during almost 30 days. The musicians did not stay for one week at home and they took a flight to Europe, where they held its first international tour with six shows in four countries: Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.
Twelve months after, the result was a constant presence on "Best Of" lists. On the voting held among the readers of Roadie Crew Magazine - the most important rock/metal magazine from Brazil - Noturnall won three categories: Best Drummer for Aquiles Priester, Best Guitarist for Leo Mancini and Best Keyboardist for Junior Carelli. On other four categories, Noturnall appears on second position: Best Vocalist for Thiago Bianchi, Best Bassist for Fernando Quesada, Best Album and Best DVD.
When imagined that Noturnall would take off the foot from the accelerator, the group announces the release of its second studio album.
The title is still not defined, but the album is already being recorded at Fusao Studios in Sao Paulo and will hit the stores in May.
According to the drummer Aquiles Priester, on the new Noturnall album will be the most brutal songs that he have already recorded in his entire carrer!
"The big differential of this album is that all the ideas were designed inside the studio. What we had until we start my recordings was a sketch of the band's best musical ideas. I felt more relaxed to create new groove patterns that I never have created before in my entire life! Thiago (Bianchi) was always trying something different when I was going to the trivial... We challenge ourselves out of my limits and this resulted on a brutal, technical and very, very fast album! The new tour is promising a lot and we can't wait to play these songs live."
The release of Noturnall's second studio album will take place on the eve of the tour that the quintet will do in Brazil in May with Adrenaline Mob, the north-american supergroup leaded by the Symphony X vocalist, Russell Allen, also producer of Noturnall's debut album.
The tour, that will also count with the participation of the band Republica, has the following confirmed dates: 07/05 at Granfinos in Belo Horizonte/MG, 08/05 at Circo Voador in Rio de Janeiro/RJ, 09/05 at Carioca Club in Sao Paulo/SP, 10/05 at Iguatemi in Juazeiro do Norte/CE, 14/05 at Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago/Chile, 15/05 at Music Hall in Curitiba/PR and 16/05 at Mirage in Limeira/SP.
