history
The band was formed in January 1995 by guitarist Alan Wallace Bello. A short time later, the singer Beto Ferris, the bassist Jairo Guedz (formerly with Sepultura ) and the drummer Adolfo Americano joined them. In the same time the group recorded a first demo, which was followed shortly after by the EP Faces . After another EP named after the band was released in 1998, the band went on their first European tour in winter . In 1999, Chaotic System joined their debut album via Cogumelo Records , and it was released in Europe on Diamond Records . In the meantime, the band also had a second guitarist in Renato Amarante. A little later singer Ferris left the band and was replaced by Wallace Parreiras. Americano and Amarante also left the band. The post of second guitarist was no longer filled, while André Márcio ( Overdose ) joined the band as a new drummer. Then the band went into the studio with producer Neil Kernon , whereupon the second album Humanology was released in early 2004 via Timeless Productions . In June, performances with Kataklysm and Graveworm followed in Europe. In 2005 the band held other concerts and played in Hamburg with Kataklysm, Gaveworm, Undercroft and Barritus , among others . In the same year the band also took part in the Slovenian metal camp, in which artists such as Slayer , Soulfly , Anthrax , Hammerfall , In Extremo , Yngwie Malmsteen , Belphegor , Hatesphere , Kataklysm, Exciter , Obituary and Dissection also took part. In March 2006 bassist Guedz left the line-up and was replaced by Rodrigo Nunes. The band then went to Ferretti Studios in Belo Horizonte to record the album The God of All Mistakes . After further recordings in September 2007 under the direction of producer Tue Madsen , the album was released in late March 2008 via Locomotive Records . A new album called The Stalker was released in August 2013, for which Tue Madsen was again active as a producer.

The singing varied from aggressive shouting to spoken chanting .
