Edu Falaschi to produce the debut album of Silent Heaven

2011-11-17T14:38:00.004+01:00

From Edu Falaschi Official Website :

Almah and Angra singer and composer Edu Falaschi is to produce the debut full-length album of Brazilian melodic metallers Silent Heaven. This week Edu has joined the band in its home city Indaiatuba/SP to make the pre-production of new songs.

Silent Heaven is: Dan Figueiredo (Vocals), Giovanni Moizio (Guitars and Backing vocals), Vinybag Ferrari (Guitars), Clayton Lopes (Bass), Lucas Tagliari (Drums). The band was established in 2003 but the stable line-up was formed only in 2010. This year the musicians recorded and released their online single “Clouds Of Fate”. In the middle of November 2011 Silent Heaven started pre-production of its first CD together with producer Edu Falaschi. The new as yet untitled CD is planned to be released in Brazil in the first half of 2012. You can find more info about Silent Heaven on Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/silentheavenband or Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/silentheavenband.

Edu Falaschi appeared at the producer’s desk in 1998 when his brother, Tito Falaschi, invited him to produce the first official album of Symbols. Soon he joined the band as a vocalist and produced two Symbols’ albums. Having got a lot of experience on the international level after joining Angra back in 2001, Falaschi returned to the production field with his own band Almah.

Edu Falaschi: “I love producing! It’s totally different when you produce your songs or another band. Actually a producer needs to understand the spirit of the artist, incorporate it himself and reach for the best they can offer. Take it, produce it, increase it and record it in a good quality.”

At the moment, Edu Falaschi is doing the first part of Almah tour supporting the brand new album of the band, Motion released via AFM Records in October 2011.

Official Statement of Edu Falaschi

2011-09-29T08:07:00.003+02:00

From Edu Falaschi Official Website :

Dear friends,

At last I would like to clarify some facts about my voice with all the sincerity, humility and integrity that I may have.

For over 20 years I have worked without a day off in the Heavy Metal style, and we all know how difficult and technically demanding it is. Joining Angra I had to fit a particularly high way of singing, which was totally out of my range, and of the vast majority of the singers! At the time I took the responsibility and faced all the pressure. But 10 years ago it was much easier due to the physical factor, excitement and age. I started to feel, year after year, gradually, the difficulties of singing something so high and out of my natural trait. I fought to the end! I did everything possible to continue to sing the songs, particularly the old ones, always in high pitches, because the melodic metal audience has ever “demanded” this of us singers. But unfortunately, today, older and more experienced, I assume that I am no longer able to sing so high. I am extremely tired and feeling the weight of all that in my voice, including the region that has always been the most comfortable for me! I’m a baritone singer who dominates the mediums and lows, with drive, singing with a more aggressive chest voice, as I did in Symbols and do in Almah. I have conquered many things and built much of my story with my own style.

Therefore, I made a decision, thinking only and exclusively about the health of my voice and integrity of my career, which I have built with so much struggle and dedication. After fulfilling all the promotional activities of Motion, scheduled until the end of the year, I will stop indefinitely to finally rest and be able to deal properly with my health. But I have to point out that from today on I’ll just sing whatever is in my natural range, be it in Angra or any other band, for my own good! I want to be who I really am, instead of being what people want me to be! In the meantime, I’ll continue with my activities as a producer and composer, which are things I love doing, and will not harm at all the progress of my recovery.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the fans who always supported me and defend me unconditionally! I will always do my best writing and singing good music for you guys, with all my truth and emotion! This is the first step to a new time in my life! I have confidence in the future and will always be passionate about the greatest music ever, HEAVY METAL!

Edu Falaschi.

From Almah Official Website :

Brazilian-based metallers Almah proudly present a new song from the upcoming album Motion which will be released on October 14th via AFM Records. For the online debut of the new CD Almah created a video clip for the song “Trace of Trait” with its own story and professional production. The footage was done in Caxias do Sul, a city in the South of Brazil at the end of August under direction of producer and photographer Alex Milesi. The video is available on the official channel of the band in Youtube :

"We had an idea to prepare something special for our fans, that’s why we decided to release not simply some audio single but a full-fledged Video Clip! – commented Almah’s frontman Edu Falaschi: - We have chosen “Trace of Trait” for the first presentation of Motion because this song is very strong in many ways… and I’m totally sure that it represents well the language and identity of Almah! We worked with this director, Alex Milesi, for the first time. He is a very nice man and he had various good ideas for us. Everything during the shooting went on very well and we are very happy with the result."

Motion was recorded in São Paulo, Brazil at Norcal Studios in May-June 2011. The album was mixed and mastered at Split Second Sound Studios (Amsterdam, Netherlands) by Jochem Jacobs (Textures) in July.

Almah : vocals recordings (English translation of the most interesting parts)

2011-09-05T08:15:00.004+02:00

From Edu Falaschi Official Website :

Dear friends, we are happy to present a new part of Almah Studio Reports in Youtube. The new video gives an opportunity to watch Edu Falaschi recording the vocals for the upcoming album Motion. The singer presents parts of several new songs and tells about his work. The video is in Portuguese, but you can read English translation of the most interesting parts below. Enjoy!

English translation :

In the beginning of the video Edu Falaschi tells about recording of the vocals and back vocal parts at Norcal Studios in São Paulo as the final step of the new CD recordings before the mixing and mastering in Europe, and mentions that the album will be really great. Then, in the second and third parts Almah’s frontman presents special guests who help to make back vocals for this very important album in the history of Almah. There are two famous Brazilian musicians from renowned national metal acts and real friends of the band: Tiago Bianchi (Shaman) and Victor Cutrale (Furia Inc.).

The next part shows how Edu comes to Norcal late at night by car listening to the music: “to get some inspiration for the recording!!!” Entering the studio, the vocalist expains that this time he starts recording later than usual, but it’s even better. “In the morning it’s bad to sing, it’s getting better in the afternoon but I prefer to record at night, it’s the best time!”

Doing some warm-up, Edu comments that the voice is a part of the whole body and it’s necessary to take care about it. Staying in the kitchen and the “chill-out” room of the studio the musician marks that it’s almost empty in comparison with the recordings of other instruments such as drums, guitars, bass when many people are hanging around. Having finished their work, all the band’s crew are away and during the vocal sessions Edu stays alone, just with Brendan (Duffey, sound engeneer) or Adriano (Daga, anther engeneer) and it can seem a bit sad sometimes…

Meanwhile, Edu remembers how he recorded the vocals for Angra’s album Temple Of Shadows in Germany. And it was funny, because Edu stayed almost alone there in a house in the countryside and even saw a cow several times (the singer shows that it sounded as a cow, not as a bull :))…

At the end of the report Edu reveals some details of his singing for the 3rd Almah’s album and mentioned such techniques as screaming, roaring, his tipical vibrato “Falaschiano” and using of many things from Symbols time. Also, the musician notices that always when he works at his CDs the lyrics are ready very close to the moment when the recording starts that’s why it never works to practice beforehand and all is very honest.

Motion was recorded in São Paulo, Brazil at Norcal Studios in May-June 2011. The album was mixed and mastered at Split Second Sound Studios (Amsterdam, Netherlands) by Jochem Jacobs (Textures) in July. The release dates are the following: October 14th (Europe, North America / AFM Records), September 16th (Brazil / Laser Company), October 14th (Latin America / Icarus Records), October 19th (Japan / Victor JVC).

I’m really proud that this album will show the real language and personality of Almah! Motion is heavy, modern and up-to-date (maybe, the heaviest stuff I’ve ever recorded in my life). It’s powerful! Full of good energy! The instrumental parts are very solid and heavy. The vocal lines present my natural range and style, heavy and aggressive. It’s a kind of album to bang your head without non-stop! And I have a feeling that in the end it will be the best CD in my whole discography. At least, the one I like the most…”

Edu Falaschi / Almah : interview for Taipei Metal (Taiwan)

2011-07-17T10:45:00.005+02:00

Check out the interview given to Taipei Metal (Taiwan) by Edu Falaschi regarding Almah forthcoming album on last July 04th !

Taipei Metal : What was your inspiration behind starting Almah and what did you hope to achieve with this project at the outset?

Edu Falaschi : The first album was a solo CD! I wanted to make something modern, direct and fresh! Angra started having many internal problems [at] that time and I needed to make real music again!

Taipei Metal : Almah began as your solo project, but has since become a full band, with other members contributing to the songwriting process. What was it like for you to go from having total control over something that was entirely your own creation, to sharing the songwriting duties with others?

Edu Falaschi : So, after the first album many fans were asking me for a second album. They said that Almah was an honest CD, with real love for music! Then I decided to turn Almah in a real band! Because I believe a band is much stronger than a project! And I like working in group!

Taipei Metal : Your most recent album, Fragile Equality, scored very highly with critics. Coming from a band such as Angra that has earned high levels of commercial success already, how much pressure did you feel when you embarked on a project of your own to live up to the achievements of your past?

Edu Falaschi : Thats was nice to see the potential of Almah! You know what, I never felt pressured, because Almah has influences from Angra, its natural, but its still different, and with this new (third) album Almah will define his own style, language and personality! You will see! Thats totally far away from Angra! Now its 100% Almah! Heavy, modern and sentimental!

Taipei Metal : Everything about Almah, from the name itself, to the lyrical subject matter, seems to be about balance in the world. What draws you towards this theme, and why is it worth exploring?

Edu Falaschi : Because only finding this equilibrium the world will really evolve! Balance is everything. If you eat too much you get fat. If your cells start multiplying too much you get cancer. So everything in life needs balance! But the lyrics from the new album are not about it! It's not a conceptual album anymore! It's free! We are tired of it! This album is to have fun! To be happy! To scream! To jump!

Taipei Metal : You've now been a singer and composer for over 20 years. What do you think is the defining moment of your career thus far?

Edu Falaschi : I'm getting old! Ha ha ha! But I'm much more mature and adult! I have many things to learn yet! But I feel well nowadays! As a singer, composer and person!

Taipei Metal : In May of 2011 Almah was recording songs for the follow-up to your second record, Fragile Equality. What can you reveal about this upcoming record in terms of the style and subject matter?

Edu Falaschi : It's getting fantastic! Its heavy, modern and up! its powerful! Full of good energy! An album to shake your head without stopping!

Taipei Metal : You are working with the same lineup which recorded Fragile Equality. How do you think the band has progressed in the three years since Fragile Equality was released?

Edu Falaschi : Now we are more friends and we know each other much more! This time the compositions and recordings are much more calm, relaxing and fun! Without any stress! It already became the most pleasant album I did in my life! And I have a feeling that in the end it will be the best album in my whole discography! At least the one I like the most!

Taipei Metal : What is the creative dynamic like between all the members of Almah?

Edu Falaschi : Felipe [Andreoli-bass] brought one song, Marcelo [Barbosa-guitar] brought one as well. I helped them with vocal melodies, etc., and I composed eight from ten songs in the CD! Then I asked the guys to help me with the solo parts! First I recorded on my own, all songs in my home studio. I did programming drums, I played guitars, bass, vocal lines and keys, and sent it to the guys for learning ,practicing and creating solo parts! Then after some days we went to the studio! It all was really fast! The band is totally in shape and in the same frequency!

Taipei Metal : You are also the singer of Angra, which is a full-time job in itself. How will you balance being in two bands, now that Almah is looking more and more like another full-time project?

Edu Falaschi : Angra is in the end of the Aqua tour, so its easier. I always loved Angra, I gave all my blood and put many efforts on it, as you can't imagine, but I feel Angra now like an old band, a bit surpassed, with old guys with family, sons, other activities and almost other priorities! Many, many internal, personal and administration problems! It comes from a long time! Sometimes it gets better and sometimes worse! But its a great band with many talented musicians! Almah started as my playground! And more and more it becomes bigger and with many new fans around the globe! I believe with this new CD Almah will consolidate his place in the rock scene!

Taipei Metal : It is inevitable that people will draw comparisons between Almah and Angra. What is your reaction to this?

Edu Falaschi : It was natural in the beginning! But with this third album, it will definitely finish! People will see Almah is Almah and Angra is Angra! Be prepared!

Taipei Metal : From a creative standpoint, what differences do you see between working with your two bands, Almah and Agra?

Edu Falaschi : Angra is typical and traditional symphonic power metal band and Almah is a fresh and modern thrash power metal.

Taipei Metal : What are your plans as far as touring with Almah after your third album is released?

Edu Falaschi : We're gonna do lots of concerts in Brazil in September and October. And we are try to organize an Euro tour and who knows an Asian tour in November and December! We are working for it! Maybe the fans from Taiwan can help it to come true asking for Almah for the local promoters! I would love it!

This time we wanted something modern and direct to represent our music and we are totally sure that we got the result we really wanted since the very beginning. This CD will show the real Almah's language and personality! Stay tuned for further news!”

Edu Falaschi about new Almah's album in the interview to Brazilian Radio

2011-06-16T08:08:00.005+02:00

From Edu Falaschi Official Website :

Almah keeps working on the third studio album, the follow-up to the previous success, Fragile Equality (2008). As we have previously informed, the band has been recording at Norcal Studios (São Paulo, Brazil) since May 2th. This Monday, frontman and founder of Almah, Edu Falaschi, revealed a few details about recording of the new album in an interview to Heavy Nation program broadcasted by one of the most important internet radio stations in Brazil, UOL Radio.
The original program in Portuguese is available HERE.

“It’s the fastest CD-recording I’ve ever done in my life! – tells Edu. – We began working at the end of April and had everything together within one month! I mean, the pre-production, arrangements, the basic parts/solos creation and the guitars/bass/drums recording... Everything took less than one month! And the last week I started to record the vocals. Four songs are almost ready. Also, we already have the cover artwork almost finished and now we’re developing the complete layout for the future CD”.

To the question about the release date, Edu answered: “We don’t have any exact date as of now. It will be scheduled taking into account the interests of all our label partners: in Brazil (Lazer Company), Japan (JVC) and Europe&North America (AFM). We’re going to mix and master the material in Europe and we plan to have the new CD ready by the end of July. But most likely we will wait with the official release until September. The new album is produced by the band itself, mainly by me and Felipe, but the entire band have worked at the basic parts, arrangements, songwriting”…

The journalist asked to tell more about his work as a vocalist of Almah and to compare it with Angra. Edu explained: “When I joined Angra, it was a band with its own history and a very special style…not every singer could sing there! I had to adapt my way of singing to the band’s style. In the case of Almah, this band was created by me, as 100% Edu Falaschi since the very beginning. The idea of Almah was to create heavier and more modern material. This 3rd album of Almah will define the “personality” of the band and it will present my real features as a vocalist who sings heavier, more agressive etc. The high vocals which I sing in Angra are not my natural type of voice, and with Almah I can rescue my identity. Here I feel more comfortable, I sing naturally, totally in my field.

Right now Angra is going on the road with Aqua Tour until the Rock In Rio festival, then I will be really concentrated on Almah’s new album. I’m looking forward to present this material, which is probably due in September. We will work with total dedication, because the CD is very good! It’s the heaviest stuff I’ve ever recorded in my life, the guitar work kicks ass! The guitar parts have been recorded with 7-strings instruments, half-step down (B flat), and the result is very solid and heavy. The rhythm guitars were played four times for extra punch. The new stuff will show that Almah is not really a melodic metal band… But, mainly, this album will make it clear that Almah stands on its ground on the scene! While the first CD was my solo one, and the 2nd, Fragile Equality, was the first album with the current line up, then unknown for the public, this time Almah is very well consolidated as a band. It’s got its own place, sound, identity and, also very important, its own true fan army!”

But one of the goals of the album / project is to celebrate the vast barn of Brazilian music scene and its talented musicians, so the team decided to invite great Brazilian icons to "lend" their talents throughout the 10 tracks laid down for the album.

And here they are :

* And last but not least, vocalists : Edu Falaschi (Angra / Almah), Nando Fernandes (ex-Hangar), Christian Passos (Wizards), Thiago Buslik (Voxx One) and Leo Belling (solo artist).

Plus one of MPB's greatest singers, Mrs. Maria Odete (Thiago Bianchi's mother) lending her amazing voice to a surprise track.

The artwork was design by Carlos Fides from Artside Studios.

The band is now releasing the teaser-track "Trust", with the participation of Kiko Loureiro on the solo guitar, Mello Jr on the base guitar, Gabriel Kauê on the keyboard, Tito Falaschi on bass, Guga Machado on percussion, Gabriel Triani on drums and Thiago Bianchi on vocals.

Almah was established by Edu Falaschi in 2006 and released the first self-titled album in 2006 (Asia, Brazil)/2007 (Europe, North America). The second CD, Fragile Equality saw the light of day in the fall of 2008 through JVC (Asia)/Laser Company (Brazil)/AFM Records (Europe, North America) and became one of the most significant and best selling power metal albums at that time. The Fragile Equality tour started in São Paulo in November 2008 and finished in June 2010 in Brasília. Then the musicians began to prepare new ideas. More details about the new album will be revealed soon.
