Kappa Crucis writing new material

The experienced Brazilian band KAPPA CRUCIS is already writting new songs for the its second album. The new record will be sucessor of the praised Jewel Box released in 2009. 

Formed back in early nineties in the city of Apiai, among the southern mountais of Sao Paulo state, KAPPA CRUCIS combines elements from hard rock, progressive rock, southern rock and have turned a "cult" name in the Brazilian underground scene.

Before its debut album, KAPPA CRUCIS got famous for its excellent demos. Works such as Algol - The Demon Star (1997), Ignition (2002) and Steel Egg (2004) conquered the journalists. The main music critics in Brazil has always been full of praise to KAPPA CRUCIS. "One of the best bands I've heard in recent months," said Eduardo de Souza Bonadia in review about the demo Steel Egg for Strike Virtual Magazine. "The quartet conveys an authenticity and, above all, an enviable rapport," published Antonio Carlos Monteiro in February 2000 for Rock Brigade Magazine. 

KAPPA CRUCIS first official album came to be completed in a time when the band was already well known to the press and public, had several years of road, five demo works and several concerts and festival appearances. 
Released in August 2009, Jewel Box gathered compositions of the band's entire career plus unreleased songs. The album was mastered at Novalis Studios in Fort Myers, Florida, United States. 

Now with a signed contract with the Brazilian Management & Press company, Som do Darma, Kappa Crucis is doing a second promotional campaign for the already established Jewel Box, while is also working in the compositions for its second album to be released in early 2012.
