they arent really new but check them out they rock.Eminence

not many people outside brazil know who they are so its about time u did


From January/1995 on, this band has been going through the path that must be crossed over. Since the beginning of the local scene in Belo Horizonte, state capital of Minas Gerais, most Eminence members have been riding along the underground ways.

After several concerts throughout the state and with a large number of contacts in Brazil as well as abroad, the band got qualified to participate in a top countrywide music contest, SKOL ROCK. Representatives from MTV, Warner Music and major magazines and newspapers from the show business gave the band the first place in the state and third in the national key ranking, which caused great impact. That is, considering the odds for a heavy and aggressive band among the majority of pop, blues and rock'n'roll bands that always get special attention from the mass media in Brazil.

Making independent productions, promotion and much material give-away, the band played a tour in Holland and Belgium, between September and december/98, getting a lot of positive reviews. Going back home, a new album, Chaotic System - CD, was created and then released and distributed.

Working hard on promotion and touring, playing in festivals and supporting foreign bands, the work got towards getting worldwide approach. Then, the license agreement was set with Diamond Records to distribute Chaotic System in more than 15 European countries.

The line up brought the attention from the media and audience over the countries where this band played before. Besides the guitar and bands founder Alan Bello, the singer Beto Ferris which joined the group since 1997, EMINENCE has in its cast the drummer André Márcio which played in another Brazilian metal band OVERDOSE and Jairo Guedz on the bass, ex guitar and founder from SEPULTURA in the first two albums. ::
