Means: LEMON BLUE
Genre(s): Heavy Metal
Formed in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de
Janeiro - 1981. These guys from Rio de Janeiro celebrated pure
Heavy Metal. Guitar player Marcos Dantes and bass player Vinicius Mathias
founded the band in 1981. They used the strange band name from an cartoon from
Hagar the Horrible! At this time there were almost no musicians who knew Metal
music, and only in 1983 they found a steady line-up and after that they started
through. They got radio airplay, played a lot live, and until 1984 they
recorded 3 demos. In 1984 there was planned to release a 7" single called "Sata
Clama Metal", but after the recording, the company dropped the plan, as
they had never herd such heavy sound, and were afraid to get no airplay. Their
LP in 1986 is the first release of the "Heavy" label in Rio. It has a
super fantasy cover and surprises us with great and diverse Metal. This is
followed by good reviews in "Kerrang" and "Metal Hammer".
Already one year later follows the second album, on another shop owners label,
which steps in the same good track, but only music-wise, as the cover is really
shitty. Sadly, this was their last release. The whole scene was changing the
music became more aggressive, and sang in English, so they lost a lot of
followers! In 1989 singer Rodrigo Esteves left the band, and bass player
Vinicius was following him! Marcos gathered some other people, drummer Andre
Chamon from Stress and the singer and guitar player from Metalmorfose! But with
this line up they only made 3 more concerts, before the band disbanded finally
in the end of 1989! Marcos and Andre founded later X-Rated! The singer is since
then opera singer in Spain!! Two times, when he was back in his hometown they
made reunion shown (1993 and 1995)! But this was only for fun, and they and the
fans had a good time, but they did not have any further plans! Only in the year
2000 the owner of the new "Dies Irae" label got interested in the
band! He re released the 2 albums in coloured vinyl, and the "Ordem Y
Progresso" has 5 bonus tracks (from the 1984 demo)! He also released 2
more LPs: "Pegasus", with the 3 demos from 1983, and the 2 songs
which were recorded with the last line up in 1989, and "Amazonia",
with live tracks and different versions recordings! The sound quality of this 2
records is not very good, and only for real fans! The 4 albums from the "Dies
Irae" label have all 4 pages inserts, many photos and are like a very
detailled 4 page band history!
