This is a Christian power metal band from Brazil. Evil or Very Mad

They have one album out called Darkness And Light. Another album is 'on tap' to be released this year, sooner than later. No 'official' release date yet, though. Crying or Very sad

It is called Skeleton's Domination.

I like this band a lot. They are 'tight' and the musicianship is good. The lyrics on a couple songs are blatantly Christian and the rest of the lyrics on the album are 'safe' for a believer if the person is concerned about that sort of thing. Evil or Very Mad

BTW the band name of SCELERATA is said thus:

At the beginning the *S* is 'silent' and the *C* is 'soft'. At the end the *TA* is 'silent'. So one ends up with, "Seller--Rah".

This is a linkie to their website, in English:

Had it. Gave it away for free. Just couldn't get into it. The vocals had a very strong accent if I remember correctly.

Scott, the location 'from' means nothing in particular. Evil or Very Mad

I was just saying where they are from for infos sake. Twisted Evil

Brazil is generally the strongest location for good power metal bands in South America.

There is no accent? I must have been thinking about another band I received along with that one last year. Either way I know it fell flat. Is it pretty speedy? That might have been what turned me off if it was all rapid paced.

Weird. I just can't seem to remember this band. I might look up their myspace page or something later and see if I can figure out why I got rid of that one. I know there was something about it that didn't click with me.

I really like this cd.I picked one up from cdbaby as part of their $5 sale.They remind me of Maiden at times with a little Angra thrown in.Good stuff.

I found them and I remember them clearly now. They were good but just not really my thing anymore. A few years ago I probably would have liked it a bit more. It is decent power metal. Most of the songs have that fast galloping drum style that kinda drives me nutso.

Thanks GW for the info - I didn't knew this band. They sound pretty promising. I especially like the guitar work and overall musicianship. The vocals are pretty good as well though - oftenly a problem with brasilian bands. Only the voac lines/melodies could be better IMO.
The new album's samples sound promising and like a step forward.

Here's another version of the homepage scratch

with samples of "Skeleton's Dominion":

And their myspace site:

I like the karaoke version of Leave me alone - in fact I like it better than the version with vocals Very Happy

i had the debut for awhile and it got kinda boring. The music didnt hold my interest. The new stuff sounds a lot more interesting.

I think the new disc is going to be released by Nightmare REcords.
