Release Notes:
2010
The band remained in studio, focusing on the recording of Origami and even
declining some concerts. In February, Eduardo announced to the group he had the
need to leave the band to concentrate in other areas of interest: the plastic
arts.
2009
The group sold out Teatro de Vila Real (Vila Real theatre) while performing an
entirely semi-acoustic set for 80 minutes in February. ThanatoSchizO has also
headlined/co-headlined three festivals: Barreiro Metalfest (Lavradio, Portugal),
Metal Horror Picture Show 2 (Fundπo, Portugal) and Silent Night - Christmas
Metal Fest (Sπo Pedro do Sul, Portugal) and played at Festival Ilha do Ermal
with Sepultura, Obituary and Blind Guardian as the main attractions. Moreover, a
contract deal was signed with Portuguese Major Label Industries for the release
of the band's fifth full-length CD, which will consist on acoustic remakes of
songs from the first four albums. The recordings took place at Teatro de Vila
Real and the band's own Blind & Lost Studios.
2008
ThanatoSchizO inked a deal for the release of the fourth album, Zoom Code, with
My Kingdom Music. The worldwide release date was April, 11. Zoom Code features
guest appearances by Timb Harris (Estradasphere, Secret Chiefs 3) and Zweizz
(Fleurety, ex-D°dheimsgard). In May, Mexican label Sun Empire Productions
released a special deluxe edition of ThanatoSchizO's first album Schizo Level,
in digipack format. On May 17, ThanatoSchizO celebrated their 10th anniversary
at the 4th Liperske Festival, with Before the Rain, Pitch Black, Daemogorgon,
Loss Spectra of Pure, My Eyes Inside, and Primordial Melody as guests. The band
performed songs from all the releases and played for almost two hours. That same
week Zoom Code went straight to the first place of the metal magazine LOUD!
Broadcast Top List. On June 28, ThanatoSchizO performed at Metal GDL Festival
(GrΓndola, Portugal) right before Krisiun and Devildriver, as the only
Portuguese band on the main stage. During September and October, the band
headlined Berτo Fest (Guimarπes, Portugal) and presented live a semi-acoustic
version of the songs in Zoom Code at the Fnac shops in Lisbon and Porto. On the
end of the year balances from the international press, Zoom Code has collected
numerous praises, being the nominations on the sites Metal District and Metal
Imperium two good examples. On a national level, the voting from LOUD!
magazine's readers pointed out ThanatoSchizO as the fourth best band of 2008. In
the same magazine, the album was mentioned on the top 5 by 3 of its
collaborators.
2007
ThanatoSchizO recorded Zoom Code at Rec'n'Roll Studios (Portugal). The
masterization process was held by Tommy Newton at Area 51 Studios (Germany).
Moreover, the group signed an exclusive deal with Mexican label Sun Empire
Productions for the re-released of the first album Schizo Level with a new front
cover. The group has also supported Orphaned Land and SamaelÆs Portuguese tours,
thus making a break from the studio sessions in July. In other news, Gauchos de
Acero û the Argentinean group aged between 10 and 14 that became famous through
YouTube, due to their Sepultura and Iron Maiden covers û made an interesting
interpretation of the song Suturn from ThanatoSchizOÆs first album Schizo Level.
2006
The group has began the pre-production of five new songs for their
as-yet-untitled fourth album, tentatively due next summer. The pre-production
recordings will take place at Wagner Studios in Chaves, Portugal (drums) and in
the band's own Blind & Lost Studios.
2005
Following the abrupt end of Rage of Achilles, ThanatoSchizO signed a contract
deal with Australia's Burning Elf Records for the international release of the
Turbulence album. Meanwhile, the band continued the live promotion of that
record in Portugal by headlining some gigs, being on the roster of Alta Tensπo
(itinerant) Festival, organizing the 3rd Liperske Festival and opening for
Swedish band Nightrage at Outubro Negro Festival (Lisbon). By the end of the
year, the band is back to its lore, focusing on the composition of new material
for an upcoming album.
2004
Pre-release of the third album Turbulence through Misdeed Records in Portugal.
ThanatoSchizO ascendant popularity lead to another year full of live gigs
(including one semi-acoustic performance at Fnac), and the global reaction to
the album was very enthusiastic. By listening to this new record, one can
perceive the crescent maturity of the group and the intense professional studio
production of the album. The year ended with ThanatoSchizO being voted on a
reader's poll from the Portuguese magazine LOUD! as the second 2004 best
national band (right after the well-known Moonspell) and Turbulence being voted
as the best Portuguese album of the year. Moreover, in the journalistÆs poll,
Turbulence was mentioned by 4/6 of the members in the 2004 national top 5 and
Guilhermino (guitar player) was elected the third best musician in 2004.
2003
Release of the "doomish" InsomniousNightLift album through British Rage of
Achilles Records. A very dramatic trip around the epic and progressive music
path, which conquered some new fans without abandoning the more aggressive
section of the audience. The mixing of different styles gave room to a more
simplistic model of death/doom progressive metal. This release was widely
praised by international media. Some magazines such as Metal Hammer and Kerrang!
rated 4 stars out of 5 possible and, in Portugal, publications like Rock Sound
or LOUD! placed this release in the top 3 of the year, as well as mentioning
Filipe Miguel (keyboard player) and Miguel ┬ngelo (bass player) in the top 10 of
the best Portuguese musicians of the year. ThanatoSchizOÆs intense work created
the opportunity to become the support act for Katatonia and FinntrollÆs gig in
Portugal (Barroselas), in April.
2002
Some gigs to promote the album and a quiet isolation in the rehearsal room, so
that the band could create new songs. Signing of the contract with British label
Rage of Achilles Records.
2001
schizo levelÆs release, the first album, through Portuguese label Misdeed
Records. A very, very chaotic album that resumes so different areas such as
black, death, doom, thrash metal and even progressive rock. The majority of the
reviews were very good and this album contains two of the bandÆs anthems,
frequently and heavily requested at live gigs: the ultra dynamic and aggressive
Suturn and the very "doomish" peaceful song Nightmares Within. Later this year,
the album got the fifth place on a contest by the previously mentioned radio
show. The number of fans was clearly growing, especially due to the great live
efforts and the huge promotion on the web.
2000
The MelΘgnia Tour proceeded while the band was working hard on the composition
of the first full-length.
1999
The self-financed EP MelΘgnia is released. With a different vocalist and bass
player, this was a very strange disc that mixed various influences. The
international and national press made great critics and, by the end of the year,
a Portuguese radio contest (won by EmperorÆs Prometheus) considered this EP the
ninth best worldwide releases. ThanatoSchizO was placed ahead bands such as
Immortal, Dimmu Borgir and Primordial. The MelΘgnia Tour covered 60 dates, in
which ThanatoSchizO played side by side with bands such as Sinister, Asgaroth,
Pandemia, Purgatory, Tarantula, Sirius, Clawfinger, Malevolence and Aborted. The
bandÆs performances got wonderful reviews.
1998
The band starts composing some songs and playing all over Portugal. A demo tape
was also recorded.
1997
The project is born. One will: to create something unique and original.
