Cloudscape blends the best of Melodic Rock hooks with a brilliant balance of Power Metal and progressiveness that cross- pollinates several sub-genres of Rock Music, with unique, accessible, powerful and musical form of metal, much like Nightwish, Balance of Power, Pagans Mind and Kamelot have.
After two very successful albums, in 2005 & 2006 released worldwide on three labels in different Territories of N. America, Japan and Europe (and garnering exceptional reviews around the world); Cloudscape is back with their third stunning album entitled “Global Drama”.
This album will show a harder side of Cloudscape but, also a more atmospheric side blended with the unique Cloudscape sound they’ve established with their previous albums. Global Drama is definitely their most thought out album thus far. Recorded and Produced by Pontus Lindmark at Roastinghouse studios (Sweden). Cloudscape continues their crusade of gaining more fans day by day around the world. This year performing shows at the prestigious Bloodstock Open Air festival (UK) and Progpower Scandinavia (DK) + more shows TBA. Global Drama might be a contender for “album of the year 2008”.

This Scelerata album slows down from the frenzied pace of the their last, this time bringing much more well crafted melodic metal songs and some epic and wonderful metallic soundscapes. Scelerata released the Darkness and Light album all over there world in 2006/07. (Darkness and Light) was finished in Germany by Dennis Ward and goes with Edu Falaschi (Angra) and Thiago Bianchi (Shaman) as special guests! The album was elected by the Rock Brigade readers poll (the most important popular vote poll in Brasil) the 3 best metal album of 2006 right after Sepultura and Angra! (Darkness and Light) also entered the top 50 sales charts in Japan !
After Scelerata having had their very first album released worldwide and completely sold out his 1st press in Brasil in 2 months of its release, the band toured Brasil in a 20 gig/2 months tour, being special guests of Edguy on their Rocket Ride Tour and special guest of Roy Z on his brazilian solo tour in 2006! Scelerata also shared stages with Gamma Ray, Masterplan, Angra and Deep Purple in an amazing evening with 9.000 fans attendance to the concert! Recorded in Brasil, mixed and mastered by the great producer Charlie Bauerfeind (Helloween, Saxon etc) in Germany, with an amazing 10minutes long epic song, superb vocals, dazzling guitars, fast double basses and brilliant bass execution! A promo video clip is for Enemy Within will be launched too!
“Brazil’s Skelerata deliver an excellent album of eleven tracks of mainly high octane rock n roll. This album has it all from fast paced full on in your face rock to the beautifully crafted Close to move mountains and on to the final track the epic 7 min 46 second Forever and ever” – Dave Watts, Overloaded Radio UK
