CYBER10 Metal Storm VIII - Keepers of the Cross III

Being the only free-download compilation to be produced in 2017, this third volume of Metal Storm keeps the tradition initiated in 2011 of a compilation only with Christian metal bands . Five years after producing the last volume (second) of "Keepers of the Cross" I contacted some old friends and they responded positively about being part of a new compilation, which gave me motivation to put the idea into reality one more time. This volume brings power / heavy metal, symphonic metal, melodic metal, a bit of extreme metal and many tracks were remastered for this compilation. This release is also coming out exactly on October 31st 2017 in a tribute to the Protestant Reformation which completes 500 years.

We Fight Together (2010)

This is album is named "We Fight Together" because it's not focused only on São Paulo this time, but in Brazil during the World War II as Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) . The album cover has Estaiada Bridge which is in São Paulo City and has as well a flag similar to the one used during the Paulista Revolutin in 1932 but with a soldier, representing all the Paulistas who fought on the Second World War with their Lusophone brothers from other States of Brazil in Italy against the German Army.

   

São Paulo National State (2011) 

Neste CD nós criamos uma História Alternativa (que é um gênero da ficção científica) pra São Paulo e seu mundo ao redor. Em um futuro próximo, os países socialistas latino-americanos ganham força em detrimento da decadência moral européia e norte-americana, que cada vez mais rejeitaram e acabaram por aniquilar sua forma de pensar tradicional com políticas liberais de esquerda e imigrações desenfreadas. No Brasil o ambiente se torna perigoso quando, mais e mais, cresce a tensão entre liberais de esquerda e conservadores. Quando o governo centralizador de Brasília começa a, definitivamente e oficialmente, se aproximar dos líderes socialistas vizinhos, eclode uma reação forte dos conservadores e econômico-liberais (apoiados por alguns setores do Exército, Polícias locais e conservadores norte-americanos). Brasília se desestabiliza e iniciam-se momentos de caos até que finalmente se assina um novo tratado onde se formam os Estados Confederados do Brasil, dando liberdade para que cada Estado tome sua posição sobre incorporar as políticas socialistas ou seguir outros rumos. São Paulo (agora Estado Nacional de São Paulo) e mais alguns Estados da Confederação se mantém não-socialistas e inicia-se um estado de Guerra Fria que dura por volta de 10 anos quando, por fim, os socialistas começam o ataque para terminar de conquistar os Estados não-socialistas que restaram. 

For this album we created an Alternative History (which is a genre of sci-fi) for São Paulo and its surroundings. In a near future, the socialist Latin-American countries gain power over the moral decadence of Europe and the USA that more and more reject and ended up annihilating their traditional way of thinking with left-liberal politics and uncontrolled immigration. In Brazil the ambient get dangerous when the tension between left-liberals and conservatives grows increasingly. When the centralizing government of the capital Brasília gets definitively and officially closer to the socialist neighbour countries a reaction conflict starts strongly initiated by conservatives and liberal-economists (supported by some sectors of the Army, Local Polices and the North-American Conservatives). The capital Brasília destabilizes and moments of chaos start until a treaty is finally signed forming the Estados Confederados do Brasil (Confederated States of Brazil), setting all the States free to decide if they will be socialists or follow another path. São Paulo (now São Paulo National State) and some other States remain non-socialists and then a kind of Cold War start lasting about 10 year when suddenly the socialists start an attack to finish conquering the remaining non-socialist States of the Confederation.

   

          

 Identidade Paulista (2014)

This is the most experimental album we've done until the moment due to the daring (maybe dangerous) mixture of styles. Because of its title "Identidade Paulista" (Paulista Identity) we bring some elements of folk music and we work with facts that form such Identity. Versions of songs and historical audio are also included because they are our typical mark. The cover is an altered version of the "Wanderer Above The Sea of Fog" of the German Romanticist painter Caspar David Friedrich from the 19th Century.

   

Histórias de São Paulo (2016)

Histórias de São Paulo é um EP com algumas faixas bonus e outras idéias do projeto em uma forma de comemoração pelos 10 anos de Guerreiros Paulistas. Por ser uma mistura de faixas os estilos estão bem variados, contendo rock, neo folk, ambient e a sempre presente influência eletrônica.
