PICHILIANI METAL ROOM: AZORRAGUE

Genre(s): Christian / Death Metal

Formed in Paraná, 2006. The beginning of the formation: Elton Ganzert (drums), having played in several bands and projects throughout his musical experience, he met Jacques Zborovski (vocals), who had been member of the bands and Murder Rape Evil War, well-known national metal scene. Fan of Heavy bands of the scene, Trash, Death, Extreme, Elton has always had the heart's desire and willingness to start a band, so, following the dream that remained since his teens, grew increasingly more calls and will have a band of truth. In talking with the singer Jacques, Elton - knowing that he was not involved in any musical project - proposed to form a band together (without knowing it could take some pounding of the legendary frontman). After the conversation with drummer Jacques pondered and came across the idea. It was the beginning of the project, but without the name "scourge" which would be suggested by the Jacques times later. However, Jacques, despite having accepted the invitation to Elton to form a new band, imposed one condition: that the new bass player should be your friend, Fernando Frogel, who also had played with the band Evil Jacques War Condition accepted, the band was almost complete, missing then a guitarist to complete the training. Climbed Alan, who had participated in some projects with Elton.

Defining the musical style: Due to a number of factors, never came the opportunity to meet members of the band for the first test. After some time, managed to score in a studio musicians known to the capital Curitiba: The late H-Mix, located in the Largo of the Order. Entered the studio, turned on the equipments and looked as if asking: What do we do now? Had been set two hours studio, we started an hour and nothing, until Elton gave the idea of an intro and then followed him. The coach of the studio in question was Gabriel Castro, a guitarist that heavy hand to hear what they were playing I wanted to participate. Soon they left the studio, Gabriel came and asked if there was place in the band, Elton replied that maybe in the future (...). Whip - Current members. From left to right: Douglas, Elton, Fernando and Gabriel. Little did they know two that became writing partners. After leaving the studio had already been established that the musical style would be a constant variation of HEAVY METAL, TRASH METAL, DEATH METAL and METAL END, because the band wanted to put his main influences - but without being attached to a label - which helps a lot at the time of composition. Of course the old school Death Metal has always been a passion of the band, and the choice of style was the consensus of all because it is a style that one can experience variations without losing the essence. The curious thing is that the 1st trial was scheduled for the day without wanting to July 13, 2007, International Day of ROCK N ROLL, beautiful day to be born a band.

The name Azzorague: The band needed a name, hinted Fire Cicle, and others without much sense, but when it comes to a Christian metal band would have to be a name with a strong impact meaning. Jacques, a service listening on a well-known pastor preach about a well-known passage, he heard the following phrase: ... "Jesus and taking the whip hand ..." - He leapt from the bench where he was, found the name Jacques: scourge. The well-known Bible passage is John 2:15. Means WHIP whip, whip is a weapon and punishment. That Jesus was the weapon used to throw people out of his temple. He was born the new name of HEAVY METAL NATIONAL.

Working to complete the Demo CD: After some time, already with three compositions, guitarist Alan left the band to play only in the church where they met. They needed another guitar player. More immediately bassist Fernando presented to the band a boy named John Ringemberg, aside from a few words, but with a fierce grip on the guitar. They started rehearsing and writing more songs with the new lineup, got some shows, matured the project of the band's work, acquired new equipments and began rehearsing in earnest in the house drummer Elton. At that time they recorded their 1st demo CD, which had three songs: First Sacrifice, Lies and Empire Day Thiefs The demo was recorded entirely in the studio H-Mix, no production, but already there you could feel what was in terms of Sound and compositions. John, for not appearing in some trials, it is replaced by Gabriel Castro on guitar (yes, the sound technician of the aforementioned H-Mix). With this training walked together for one year, back in 2009/2010 have already counted 12 compositions closed and there was talk of launching the 1st cd. Searching for good recording studios, without much money and eager, were already known KARIM SERRI - SEVEN ANGELS entered the studio and started recording the CD entitled DIE WITH U.S., CD with 12 songs with a striking art that looks more like a horror movie. Firming up the start of the national metal whip. After recording the CD decided to recruit another guitarist, so calling a close friend of the group, Douglas R. Patricio, a virtuoso technician and a great musician who came to "add and divide," the guitars with Gabriel.

Launch of the 1st CD and departure of vocalist Jacques: While waiting for the CD release of the band for an American label, the Sullen Records, with distribution in MEXICO, USA and CANADA, Jacques Zborovisk left the band to care for his newborn daughter, a lot of votes out of luck and success. Fernando frogel takes the vocals and the band takes on as a quartet, leaving Douglas and Gabriel on guitar, Fernando on bass / vocals and drums in Elton.

This new line has resulted in an interesting coincidence, the whip now has the same kind of formation of a drummer's favorite bands: Slayer.

Consolidating the work of musicians: Already doing some gigs as a quartet, the four musicians had excellent response from the public. The next step would be the CD release titled DIE WITH U.S. - whip - 2011 (Sullen Records, produced by Karim Serri and mastered by Pompey - Korzus). Recorded in studios in Curitiba NICOS. Firas Obeid Art Spirit Breese. Goal: The focus of the band is the insertion of metal Christian metal scene in national and even worldwide, a bold goal and seeks to show that you can enjoy and be a Christian Heavy Metal, where both can come together in a pleasant and conscientious - always emphasizing Christian themes in their messages, praising and glorifying one person, showing the world that the Lord Jesus wants to bring life restoration and salvation for all humanity.
