Hi YngwieViking, my pleasure to share with you and your readers, a bit of my history and the history of Liar Symphony. And already talking about our new album "Before The End", it was totally produced by our guitarist and producer Pedro Esteves in his studio, the Masterpiece, which is here in Brazil. We started writing the album in 2010 and finalized everything in July 2014. We had in mind to do a cohesive work, direct and without many technological tricks. We recorded everything as organic as possible. We wanted that the listeners, could feel the band playing. If there is something I do not agree with many of today's productions to date is that the bands are using so many resources in the studio, which are increasingly sounding all the same, without identity. The guitars, for example, have no effects pedals, has only the sound of the amp miked. The voices were all done humanely, no computer folds.

For mixing, followed the same line. We use few resources. The result of all this is an honest CD, you feel the band playing. It's visceral, at the same time very modern and heavy. That was what we were looking for. Regarding the theme of the lyrics, they don't have a fixed theme. The lyrics deal with themes of human evolution, about how man is destroying the planet, we also talk about the internal struggles of each of the problems and obstacles that we all go through in life. Usually, our letters are always kind of autobiographical. We use our music to vent and expose our feelings. Title "Before The End" was chosen because it is a very interpretative title, each will give a different meaning to it. For us, it is all we can do before the end of the world, life, etc. This is our fifth studio CD and continues trying to sound more modern and renovated possible. We have reached a standard we were looking for a long time. We did this work very calmly and took four years working on it. We are very pleased with the result.

I'm from São Paulo / Brazil and I'm 44 years old. I was born in 1970 and intensely lived the 80's, being influenced by this wonderful period in the history of Rock'N Roll. At this time I knew what I wanted to do in life: Singing. I was part of many bands whose goal was to play in bars at night in Brazil. Despite being self-taught, I did singing lessons later and still do to this day, because life is always a learning and who does not learn does not evolve. In 2004 I joined the Liar Symphony, which at the time had already released three albums, and went in just to make the third album Tour, "Spirit Machine" (2004). Since then we released four albums, "Choose Your Side" (2005) which was my debut in the band, "Choosing The Live Side" (2007) live album that records the tour and also has its DVD version, Acoustic, "Alive In Studio" (2010) a remake of Liar Symphony songs in acoustic format, and "Before The End" (2014) our new original songs CD.

When I joined Liar Symphony, the songs to "Choose Your Side" were almost ready, but I could still contribute a song called "Cry Of The Damned". This lyric is a spiritual content. One night I dreamed with this song and when I woke up it was almost ready, music and lyrics. In "Before The End" I could contribute more lyrics and ideas, and as we made the songs the lyrics flowed almost automatically as the mood of the song. I'm spiritualist and I believe that we are just a channel, a large antenna that captures the universe, you just open your mind and let it flow.

In fact the band never stopped. We launched the acoustic album in 2010 and has started writing the "Before The End". What happened is that we needed, as musicians, reinvent ourselves, reinventing Liar Symphony.

We continued bringing us even if only to make small talk. In Liar Symphony ran truly like a family, we go out to drink, fellas about the houses of others, is very cool. This gap each was doing a different project, Pedro specialized in producing career, Anderson played with many different musicians and different Brazilian musical styles, which added much and his musicality. I sang with many people and I perfected my style. During these four years of pause, Pedro, Anderson and I, we wrote and recorded an unreleased album for a side project called Dead Man Walking, which is a very modern sound in the style of Disturbed and Soilwork. We allowed it to launch with a label. We hear new things, we open our minds and our souls to the new and incorporate all this influence on the LIAR SYMPHONY sound. I believe we got it.

I fully agree. Matt Coe was very good in the comment. Despite my vocal training as a traditional singer, I have a strong thrash metal singers influence like Russ Anderson and Philip Anselmo

The analysis was perfect. The Metal God is certainly one of my main influences and is one of my TOP 5. What ends up connecting directly to Ralph Scheepers who is also one of his disciples. What influenced my style when it comes to Rob Halford? It was a masterpiece called "War Of Words" by Fight . As I said earlier, my training is the Classic Heavy Metal Singers and what influences me more is the master Ronnie James Dio.

In fact the two things, lol. It is a blessing when my work is associated with my idols, for truly started singing because of them. Who never wanted to be your idol?

It is a real honor and gives the feeling of accomplishment. It is very rewarding. But there is another side, where there is a charging of always having to be perfect or be compared, but this is something that does not concern me much, because every work, my own personality becomes more evident.

Certainly today I am better. Big business is continuing to learn and be open-minded to new ideas, and that's what makes you a better person and a better professional. The musician who does not evolve is ostracized. I'm not fussy before beginning to sing, I only work a short sequence of heating with musical scales and to relax the muscles of the face. I do not smoke. I drink socially, but rather to make shows ever.

We get the inspiration flows. Of course want to please our fans, but we make up for ourselves, is what we felt at that time when music was made, music is our soul right then translated into musical notes, rhythms and adrenaline, and this translation is that the leaves happy and renewed. So when someone like that part of our soul, our joy is huge because there is a harmony between all of us.

The metal scene in Brazil is currently being reborn after a very bad period, but still bad. Brazil has many great bands, with world-class work, but everything is very underground. The Brazilian heavy metal in general is very much marginalized by the media and the public. It may seem strange, but we have more space outside Brazil. Here the large space is given only for those two or three when already at the top, here is Sepultura and Angra and the others.

I believe that the South American Sound is a reality. We came to stay.

Absolutely yes, has a lot of good popping up here and should emerge soon, but the one that has my attention, is a hard rock band called Desert Dance, with musicians in their late teen, great band.

Never thought about it, but I confess that it would be an interesting experience.

Liar Symphony plans for 2015/2016 are two things: first is to license "Before The End"album in the European and Japanese market, and second is to make a European Tour. We want to expand our audience and our market and I think we have a lot to offer for you. Attention promoters of Europe, I'm sure we are viable... lol. In 2016 maybe a new album.

The music industry is going through a crisis in the past decade is no secret. Mainly in Brazil, where many have not yet joined the MP3 purchase, download full albums for free has become the most common practice. Heavy Metal lovers will also use this device, either to meet new groups, to know whether they accept the new album by a band that already follow or if it is worthwhile or not investment in physical CD in the sequence. Of course we would prefer that all buy our CDs, but we know a lot of people who go to our shows today and sing our songs met in lowering our records these illegal providers. When the labels stopped investing in artists who, in turn, have no professional structure to make a distribution and comprehensive disclosure, illegal downloading finishes at least making the work of the band reach an audience that would not reach the legal way. If there is a positive side of digital piracy, that is. However, the quality that these albums are ripped and made available illegally, it is often bad.

Thinking about it, many artists decide to offer their own albums for free on a voluntary basis, so that the quality of their work is not compromised. After a quick search on the net, I found that all our records were to download for free at several different providers, some with very bad quality. Since we cannot fight it, in some important occasions, we make available our older songs on our website, because at least those who download there will have the same quality as the official CD. As will download for free, that is with quality. Say whether the bonus of illegal downloads outweighs the burden is on. But one thing is fact: in a country like Brazil, where taxes on goods and services are overpriced, will be very difficult for people to choose to pay for MP3, after so many years downloading songs for free. If the lower face our CDs for free and happen like what he heard, appears in our show and ends up buying the official CD or a T-shirt, I think is valid. This has happened to us several times. Anyway, Liar Symphony already joined the sales through digital media, our complete material already found in places like iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play etc.
