Kappa Crucis reveals cover of new studio album
Rocks is the second album of the band. Formed back in early nineties in the city of Apiai, among the southern mountains of Sao Paulo state, KAPPA CRUCIS combines elements from hard rock, progressive rock, southern rock, heavy metal and 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. „The quartet conveys an authenticity and, above all, an enviable rapport,“ published Antonio Carlos Monteiro in February 2000.
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.
KAPPA CRUCISÂ presents now its new album, Rocks. The album is going to be released in November and will bring the tracks „Flags And Lies“, „Strange Soul“, „Invisible Man“, „What Comes Down“, „Nobody Knows“, „Mecathronic“, „Between Night And Day“, „When The Legs Are Wheels“, „The Braves And The Fools“Â and „School Of Life“.
Rocks was recorded and mixed at Ger Som Studios in the city of Itapeva, Sao Paulo state, and mastered at the studios Vertex C in Montreal, Canada, by the producer Jera Cravo (Madame Saatan, Headhunter D.C.).
In this occasion the band promotes the cover of the album, designed by the Brazilian artists Robson Ferreira Silva, that unfortunatly passed away recently.
„We worked sorely on this cover keep looking the band’s concept“, says the drummer Fábio Dória. „We developed the cover and booklet concept of Rocks looking to bring images that makes a direct relation to the album title and, at the same time, leaves space for people to work its imagination and interpretation. Unfortunatly our designer left this world after delivering us his art. We would like to take this opportunity to remember and salute him. Rest, Robson Ferreira.“
