(Heavy Metal) Metalmorphose - Дискография (9 релизов) - 1984-2017, MP3, 320 kbps

Back in 1986, Metalmorphose was at their highest point, when bass player André Bighinzoli left the band. There was no way to stop. We went on to Master Studios in Rio with the bass player Plínio "The Prophet" Gomes to record the new phase. Quickly, still wihtout the ideal resources for it, the band recorded "Maldição" - to some their best song - and the others, including the hit that was known from gigs "Minha droga é o Metal" (My drug is Metal). After all was done, the studio owner, the well known producer Carlão, impressed with the power of these songs, proposed to improve the final result, rerecording all the drums. We became aprehensive, because we knew it was almost impossible. Our drummer could not fail, because the studio had only 8 tracks and the new recording would erase the previous one. It was when André Delacroix has reassured us and took the resposibility, and did something hard to believe: rerecorded all the drums, inverting the basic principles of any recording, that is, recording the drums from the other instruments tracks. The song "Correntes" ("Chains") is the best recording of the band's final phase. The version in this CD is from another very rare demo, never leaked before, also recorded at Master Studios in the beginning of 1988. The "INPS" (Brazil's social security) track was our very first recording from 1983 in a 4-track portable studio. We played since a few months, we never had recroded. We rented a cheap drumkit, but we had only 2 mics for it. We played one at a time, doing overdubs, no click track of course. At the end, we got informed that it should be mixed down to a reel tape, which we couldn't find for sale, except for an old one. This very tape was recently found, and even partially demagnetized, was recovered. The name refers to long waiting lines in public hospitals. Social security cards (called INPS back then) were mandatory, even in emergencies, else no service. I saw that shameful waiting line everyday, when passing in front of the Miguel Couto Hospital.
