Bio:
Eduardo "Edu" Falaschi (born May 18, 1972) is a Brazilian singer best known for his work as lead singer and songwriter with the São Paulo-based band Angra. He is also noted for his solo band Almah, which started as a side project featuring a number of guest musicians and is now his main and only band.When he was one year old, Falaschi's parents moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he lived until the age of 12. His mother decided to move back to São Paulo, and then São Vicente, influenced by factors including the death of Falaschi's father.Falaschi's first experience with music began as a child. Some of his relatives were non-professional musicians, and he used to sing with his father and uncles during family meetings. By the time he was 14 years old, he was taking guitar lessons, and his interest in music increased. Although he was strongly influenced by the singers Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson, Falaschi decided to play instrumental songs instead.He played the drums for six months in a blues band with his friends, and he also played bass and guitar and sang backing vocals in a cover band. In 1989, he was invited by school friends to join a band as a singer to play at a music contest. They recorded a demo tape and played for 5,000 people. Subsequently, in 1990, some of the band members decided to form Mitrium, a rock band, in which they played their own compositions.Mitrium began Falaschi's professional career as vocalist and composer. In 1991, they recorded their first demo tape with the song "Just Remember". Afterwards, they recorded the second demo with the songs "The Shadows" and "You Can Choose The Side of Darkness", both written by Eduardo Falaschi.The band grew quickly in São Vicente, so they decided to look for opportunities in São Paulo, where they signed a record deal with a record company which released a split-LP called Eyes of Time with four tracks: "Eyes of Time", "Run From the Fire", "Lives So Close" and "The Shadows", all of them written by Falaschi.In 1994, the heavy metal band Iron Maiden was looking for a new singer through an international contest sponsored by the band, resulting in thousands of tapes being sent in by would-be rock stars. With the increasing recognition of Mitrium, Falaschi had the chance of taking part in the contest. Unexpectedly, he was one of the selected singers from Brazil (along with Andre Matos, then vocalist of Angra) and later from all around the world, getting in contact with Dick Bell, production director of Iron Maiden Holding LTD. In the end, the band did not pick Falaschi.In spite of the professional career success, on August 5, 1994 Falaschi was forced to leave Mitrium due to personal problems, but he kept playing just for fun with his friends, and later recorded a demo, with eight simple rock n' roll songs with a band called Opium.Falaschi decided to take a break for almost four years. In the middle of 1998, he was invited by the band Symbols to produce their first album. The leader of the band was Tito Falaschi, his brother. Falaschi ended up producing the album and also being a member of the band. While their first album self-titled Symbols was being released, he was invited to perform in the album Ordinary Existence by Venus. In 2000, Symbols released their second album, called Call to the End.The Brazilian band Angra was looking for new members, and after a trial among other vocalists, Falaschi was invited to join the band in 2001. As in 2012, Edu left the band due to problems within it.In 2006, under the project name Almah, he released his first solo album, self-titled. In 2008, as a full band, Almah released their second album, Fragile Equality.
Album:
Edu Falaschi released his new album MI'RAJ this Friday, the 12th, which concludes the fictional and conceptual trilogy, with a plot developed with the artist and writer Fábio Caldeira , a work that began with Vera Cruz (2021) and continued with Eldorado (2023). The new work delves into themes such as spiritual transcendence, identity, faith, loss, overcoming, intuition, victories and inner ascension, set in the Middle East of the 16th century.The album features some heavyweight collaborations. The title track, “MI'RAJ,” features Italian singer Veronica Bordacchiniof Fleshgod Apocalypse. Another highlight is “Circle of Dust,” which features vocals by Roy Khan (formerly ofKamelot and Conception). The song “Intuição” marks the reunion of Edu Falaschi with Rafael Bittencourtof Angra, for the first time since the album Aqua (2010). The song also represents a historic moment in Edu's career: his first original composition in Portuguese in about two decades.This new work represents the definitive conclusion of the saga built over the last few years, consolidating one of the most ambitious phases of his solo career. Mixing and mastering will be handled by renowned producer Dennis Ward, responsible for the sound design of Vera Cruz and Eldorado, as well as notable works with Helloween, Unisonic, Angra, etc.Graphic artist Carlos Fides created the cover art for MI'RAJ with a concept featuring a seer as the central figure, guardian of the Portal of the Twelve Veils who guides Jorge on his journey through the desert towards inner discovery and spiritual ascension.In an interview with Wikimetal, Edu spoke about his new work: “I’m very happy, with a feeling of mission accomplished, because it’s not easy to develop a trilogy. You have to base all the lyrics on the story, so you get stuck. You become a little limited in everything you want to say […] So, it’s a moment of satisfaction that I’m experiencing. Of mission accomplished, as I told you, and also of joy for having achieved it.”
