Cezar Girardi (vocal) and Gustavo Scaranelo (guitar) are two very
experienced and respected professional musicians in the Brazilian
music scene, especially in the fields of jazz and instrumental music.
However, both nourish another feature in common: a passion for heavy
metal.
In 1995 they founded the band Second Heaven, that unfortunately did
not leave any recordings before split up two years later. The
musicians then began to devote to academic studies of music, which
eventually led them to other segments where they made career. But the
passion for metal remained pulsating throughout this time. After a
telephone conversation, they decided to meet to play and compose heavy
metal again. The result? A new band: Higher!
To complete the band's line up, it was necessary other musicians of
proven experience, such as the Chilean bassist Andres Zuniga (music
teacher and columnist of Bass Player Magazine) and the drummer Pedro
Rezende (that studied with Virgil Donati in Australia).
With a musicality full of identity, as never heard before, Higher's
debut album is awaited with the same expectation of a big Brazilian
heavy metal name, although it is a newly formed band.
Recorded in Sao Paulo at Fusao Studios and produced by Thiago Bianchi
(Shaman, Noturnall), the self titled album will bring the tracks
"Lie", "Illusion", "Keep me High", "Climb the Hill", "Like the Wind",
"Break the Wall", "Time to Change", "Make It Worth" and "The Sign".
After the success that they had with the lyric video of "Climb The
Hill", now the band launched "Keep Me High" on its official Youtube
channel: To check out, go to:http://youtu.be/hgSrEXGEmbw
Higher's debut album will be released independently in the first half of 2014.
