█ Since the very beginning ALMAH has been in the █
█ focus of metalheadsÆ attention worldwide. Not only █
█ because the band was established as a project of █
█ the present ANGRAÆs singer and hit maker Edu █
█ Falaschi, front man of the Brazilian metal legend █
█ over the last 10 years, but also because ALMAH has █
█ always involved excellent musicians and production █
█ crew. The first two studio albums, Almah (2007) █
█ and Fragile Equality (2008), were accepted well █
█ both by the fans and media. And last, but not █
█ least, counting five years of history, ALMAH █
█ turned from a solo project into an actual band, █
█ with its own language, style and identity. This █
█ time the musicians are proud to present ALMAHÆs █
█ 3rd studio effort, MOTION, and the sound of this █
█ album is as solid and consolidated as the band █
█ itself nowadays. █
█ MOTION was recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at █
█ Norcal Studios in May-June 2011, and was again █
█ produced by Edu Falaschi and Felipe Andreoli. The █
█ material was composed, arranged and recorded very █
█ fast, but it doesnÆt mean that any detail slipped █
█ away from attention. ALMAH worked with great █
█ inspiration and each band member contributed to █
█ the basic parts, arrangements and songwriting. █
█ Besides Edu Falaschi, there are his ANGRA mate █
█ Felipe Andreoli (bass), Berklee-graduated guitar █
█ wizard Marcelo Barbosa, powerhouse drummer Marcelo █
█ Moreira and a master of fast solos and heaviest █
█ riffs, Paulo Schroeber, who can play everything █
█ from thrash metal to jazz and fusion. █
█ █
█ Despite of the fact that since the very beginning █
█ ALMAH experimented with heavier and aggressive █
█ parts in the vein of melodic metal, MOTION is an █
█ album full of surprises, and the main one is that █
█ ALMAH is not a typical melodic metal band anymore! █
█ The musicians tried to tread a new, more modern █
█ way, without losing ALMAHÆs recognizable touch █
█ with those shredding solos, romantic and strong █
█ powerful vocal lines among heavy guitar riffs, █
█ groovy bass and swift drums. Many special features █
█ have been used for this CD. The guitar parts were █
█ recorded with 7-strings instruments, half-step █
█ down (B flat), and the rhythm guitars were played █
█ four times for extra punch. No wonder that the █
█ result is very solid and heavy! Also, in ALMAH, █
█ Edu Falaschi has an opportunity to present his █
█ natural vocal range and style û heavy, strong, █
█ with use of various techniques including some █
█ aggressive ones. This time the band has reached █
█ the optimal balance between heavy, modern metal █
█ sound and beautiful and catchy melodies. Edu █
█ Falaschi has already stated that this CD is █
█ probably the best one in his whole discography. █
█ Another surprise - MOTION is not a concept album █
█ from the common point of view. Every song tells █
█ its own story, but at the same time all of them █
█ have something related to movement, change and █
█ evolution. No fairytales or hidden stories here, █
█ everything is real and direct, and about people's █
█ real life. The cover artwork was created by Edu █
█ Falaschi himself with his iPhone, using some █
█ applications to create that motion effect, which █
█ was later edited by Felipe Andreoli. The material █
█ was mixed and mastered at Split Second Sound █
█ Studios in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Jochem Jacobs █
█ (Textures) in July 2011. █
