Almah

Almah began as a high-profile solo project for Edu Falaschi during his tenure as the frontman of Angra, but quickly evolved into a fully realized band that stands as a pillar of the Brazilian metal scene. Their debut featured an international 'supergroup' lineup including members of Nightwish and Kamelot, establishing a sound that merged European power metal polish with South American fire.

As the project transitioned into a permanent unit, the sound shifted toward a more progressive and occasionally aggressive 'modern metal' aesthetic, particularly on the 2011 album 'Motion'. Critically, Almah is praised for Falaschi's transition from a pure power metal vocalist to a more versatile rock singer, and for the inclusion of virtuoso guitarists like Marcelo Barbosa. They occupy a vital space in the 'Brazilian Power Metal' lineage, serving as a bridge between the neoclassical foundations of the 90s and the more diverse, groove-oriented metal of the 21st century. Their legacy is defined by technical excellence and a refusal to be pigeonholed into a single subgenre.
