PICHILIANI METAL ROOM: BURNING IN HELL

Genre(s): Power Metal

Formed in Caxias do Sul - RS, 1995. The work with heavy metal is very hard in Brazil. Have a look at Burning in Hell's history, the metal melodic band from Caxias do Sul/RS, which was created nine years ago. Throughout this time, the group has faced up to a little bit of everything... They had many changes in their formation; they are very far from the big comercial cities; and even, one of the band's components has passed away. These were all heavy stones that had to be removed from their path, to enable them to continue the Burning in Hell's trajectory. However, as the heavy metal in Brazil is something reserved only for the strong ones, the band has not only survived to everything, but also is finally launching their first debut album, the acclaimed BURNING IN HELL, by Encore Records, based in São Paulo. Burning in Hell has a name.. ..which can lead the more reckless to think they are a band, which plays black or death metal. However, the idea was something far from that, they wanted to be completly different from the bands already existents. Therefore, they ended up choosing a name of impact, and at the same time, a strong one. The name's band has also to do with the Inquisition time, where members of the church ordered to burn the people accused of witchcraft. As nothing in Burning in Hell's life happens in an easy way, the recording of their debut album could not be different. It was almost like a labour process, or even worse, as the CD took more than one year to be "born". The band wanted to manufacture a CD of outstanding quality to be able to enter and compete with the internaticional market too. So, every detail was sorrounded by an obssessive care, and the CD also counted with the very special participation of Kiko Loureiro (Angra) in two of its tracks. In spite of launching their debut CD only recently, lots of things happened with these guys during these many years of dedication and hard work. Just to give a few examples, the band has released a split-CD in Japan with a japanese band, called Aiming High; they have also done several shows throughout Brazil. Besides, Burning in Hell has opened shows for big names such as, Angra, Shaman, Krisiun, Dr. Sin, Sonata Arctica, After Forever and HammerFall. However, in 99, a tragedy left the band in the darkness. The founder and guitarist, Emanuel Pieruccini, died at the beggining of 99. Because of this tragic loss, the band even thought it was time to put an end to their work and dreams. But thanks to the precious support received from their families, friends, brazilians and foreigners fans', as well as the love and dedication for the heavy metal, they carried on with their aspiration. Thankfully, Burning in Hell succeeded in getting over the shock and the pain, and was able to come back stronger than ever. In 2006 the band changed its formation again, Ederson Prado is the new bass player. Two years passed after the releasing of the first official cd and the band release the Believe album, that show a conceitual album. Believe is musically more superior than the first album. Faster and more technical. The cd has the special guest Andreas Kisser (guitarist from Sepultura). Believe left its mark on Heavy Metal history, when it was voted among the 30 best power metal albuns of all times by the staff of BURRN! Magazine (The biggest Japanese rock magazine). Other bands on the list include: ANGRA (Temple Of Shadows), HELLOWEEN (Keeper Of The Seven Keys PartII), EDGUY (Hellfire Club), GAMMA RAY (Heading For Tomorrow), STRATOVARIUS (Visions), BLIND GUARDIAN (Tales From The Twilight World) among others. In 2007, indicated by ULI KUSCH, former HELLOWEEN and MASTERPLAN drummer, to join the Dutch band EPICA, Marcelo was one of only three drummers, from the entire world, chosen to do the final test. After a good presentation Marcelo was confident about his performance and despite the level of the competitors it seemed like he was going to be the one. Unfortunately the hired drummer Ariën Van Weesenbeek (God Dethroned) decided to accept the proposal made to him, before Epica started to look for a drummer, and kept his position. In 2008 Edu Falaschi and Felipe Andreoli (Angra) invited Marcelo to join their band Almah. The group is currently working on new material for a second release due in 2008.
