"Elixir Foreign Band from Brazil"

Who listen to the album "Get Out" for the first time will probably ask, "What is this foreign band?". But the impression made by hearing the song in English fools, because actually it is a gaucho band.
The Elixir Inc. was born in 2001 in the city of Bento Gonçalves, when childhood friends decided to rock'n roll, initially playing covers of their idols. Gradually, his own compositions have gained space, and although not hide the strong influences, the members take pride in speaking of the single group style. "The major influences were the band Rolling Stones, Guns N 'Roses, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC / DC, among others. But the sound of the band is based on five different people meeting and making a sound, "says vocalist Vinnie.

Asked about a possible similarity with Guns, bassist Justin Della responds with good humor: "Guns? No! What is it? Haha. In fact, the spice in our CD them is, yes! But is not what we want to be, we are the Elixir "ponders the musician, noted that the songs were played in his band opening act of Slash (former guitarist of Guns) in Curitiba and São Paulo.
Besides Vinnie and Della, the Elixir is formed by Giovas, Marcão and Mauricio Meinert. International experiences of the members were striking for the musical training of the group. Vinnie, for example, studied in the USA, where he had contact with musicians and played in bars in New York. Recently, producer Barry Lions, who has worked with Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne, highlighted the potential of the band and suggested media actions that culminated in the participation of the gauchos in some battles between bands, known in Brazil as "Cage Match Pull".
Della highlights the fact that they were reminded abroad: "Suddenly comes the news, 'O, is an American radio putting you in roulette there' ... and we are still playing there," he explains. It is also worth noting that the Elixir won all the duels that participated, including before the consecrated band Pantera.

The album "Get Out" also had foreign contribution, with the production of Brendan Duffey and Adriano Daga, winners of two Latin Grammys. "It was a unique experience! For the gringo Brendan understands and Adriano is crazy! It was the perfect mix for a very good CD, "Vinnie says. On the final product, Della defines to be "a sound that enters your head without permission, striking, heavy songs and marked the band!"
Currently, the guys are in pre-production on the next album and by investing in media around the world, but without forgetting the Brazilian public. "We continue playing in the area for staff that supports and enjoys the band," adds the singer. - Rede Globo

The gaucho band from the city of Bento Gonçalves was formed in 2001 with Vinnie on vocals, guitar Giovas, Della on bass, drums and Marcão Mau in on keyboards.

With the proposal to play Rock n Roll with influences such as The Rolling Stones, Guns N 'Roses, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC / DC, should have the greatest influence as Guns by Vinnie voice timbre, reminding Axl Rose.

It is a band that has even touched on American radio and musicians have an international experience because Vinnie studied in the USA, where he had contact with musicians, played in bars in New York and the band took part in some battles between bands, known in the country as "Cage Match Pull".

One highlight is the production of Brendan Duffey and Adriano Daga, winners of two Latin Grammys with recording, mixing and mastering at Norcal Studios in São Paulo.

The first track is "Living in Fear", with that air and footprint 80s Hard Rock guitar, keyboard and the voice in the style Axl Rose.

Next, "Too Late" follows the same line beginning at guitar and vocals and nice, a sound that would play easy on our radios and even with a straightforward keyboard giving a higher quality to the sound.

Then "Got It" comes with a beautiful guitar strumming, accompanied by vocal great and fits perfectly in the proposal of the sound, with the backing vocals background leaving the richest and pleasant sound, showing a Hard Rock and competent and good hear. It's a shame that bands in Brazil with this style are not exploited by radio.

Finally, comes "Heart of Stone", in line with the Vocal Axl Rose showing that they are not only powerful guitars and bass vocals that make the Hard Rock and yes, the perfect set electric and acoustic means that in addition to attract more fans , take them to another level.

Now, the bonus: the first is "Burning For Me", fully electric and a chorus that stays in the head and hammers so cool, a riff and rock n roll with a very simple and efficient soil.

To conclude this EP, the second bonus track, "Rock n Roll Till We Die", has a beginning especially for low and subsequently, a heavy guitar and rock n roll as well. As the chorus itself says "Rock n Roll until we die", all elements that are a joy are present with weight and melody in the right measure.

An interesting point is that the band offers songs for free download on their website.

A job well done and professional! They have much success because the band knows how to make music very well and enjoys it true, as this is Latent well to hear this sonzeira. - Metal Militia
