Bio:

Soulspell Metal Opera is a Brazilian Heavy Metal project conceived by drummer Heleno Vale. Many singers play different characters in a story concerning the conflicts among human emotions in a way never broached before. These characters face situations of internal conflict as they are requested for making decisions which, without their knowledge, affect and change the course of the present, future, and even past of all the other characters. Although the story takes place in the present, many historic events are also tangled in it. Soulspell story intends to make us wonder how a fifteen-year-old boy, a powerful evil dragon, or even a simple humble lumberjack, by simply living and believing, can interfere in the lives of all in every possible dimension.The project's first album was released in 2008 by Spiritual Beast in Japan and Hellion Records in Brazil. It is called “A Legacy of Honor” and is filled with authentic, talented and regarded Brazilian musicians and artwork created by no other than J.P. Fournier [Avantasia, Edguy etc.]. In Brazil's most important survey, done by Roadie Crew magazine, the album won the 4th place as the highlight of 2008 and the 9th place as the best album of the year.After a successful reception, the project gained assistance from great world-wide names like Roland Grapow (ex. Helloween, Masterplan), Zak Stevens and Jon Oliva (ex. Savatage), Blaze Bayley (ex. Iron Maiden), Tim Ripper Owens (ex. Judas Priest, ex. Iced Earth) and some great Brazilian names like Edu Falaschi (Angra) and Nando Fernandes (Hangar). Beside the names mentioned above, for the second album called “The Labyrinth of Truths”, Soulspell Metal Opera invited four young and upcoming Brazilian singers to join the team of Soulspell act II. One of them was the winner of the project's singing contest, among 100 other contestants from every part of Brazil.The first two years of Soulspell presented us a quick and growing national acceptance like none before, and the reason is simple. Soulspell Metal Opera works for all members as it works for itself. Brazilian musicians and fans give their support to the project as if it were theirs, and it truly is. The main goal is to show the world that Brazil has many talented singers and musicians.As a fiction story filled with many different characters, Soulspell demands artwork nearly as important as its music. So the concepts for Soulspell cover artworks so far were created by two regarded artists. The second one is the British artist John Avon the same who worked for Magic Cards, and did a wonderful and especially obscure art for the second album, “The Labyrinth of Truths”.”The Labyrinth of Truths” proves that Brazil got lots of talent, and the spirit of the project is something special for sure! Familiar voices like Jon Oliva and Zak Stevens mixed with exciting vocalists like Germán Pascual and Leandro Caçoilo creates a great diversity, and the term ”Metal Opera” surely fits the album!

Album:

Brazilian heavy metal heroes Soulspell are finally back with their new and fifth album 'Spirits of Ghosts', which is sure to make waves in the heavy, power and symphonic metal scenes.'Spirits of Ghosts' is a truly epic, memorable and diverse album that you don't want to miss!Spirits of Ghosts by Brazillian Sympho Metal act Soulspell is so grand and dramatic, that it makes my last breakup look like a casual misunderstanding at Starbucks.This isn’t just an album, it’s a full-blown metal opera. Regular metal wasn’t intense enough for them, so they decided to add theatrical storytelling, soaring vocals, and enough orchestration to make Beethoven roll over in his grave and throw up the devil horns.The title track, Spirits of Ghosts, kicks things off like an over-the-top haunted house ride, but instead of a cheesy skeleton popping out, you get virtuosic guitar solos and vocals so powerful they could probably knock over a small building. The whole album is layered with insane musicianship, epic storytelling, and a choir so dramatic, that I half expected them to announce the second coming of Ozzy Osbourne.Then there’s Dragon Waltz. Even fire-breathing monsters like to cut a rug. It’s got a mix of medieval fantasy vibes and power metal glory, like if Game of Thrones and a mosh pit had a baby. Castle of Illusions throws you into some mystical fever dream where you can practically see a metal-clad warrior running up a castle staircase in slow motion.The musicianship on this album is tighter than my belt after an all-you-can-eat BBQ. The vocals? More soaring than my self-esteem after a bottle of wine. And the production? So crisp, you could slap it between two pieces of bread and call it a sandwich.Spirits of Ghosts is an album that doesn’t just ask for your attention, it kicks down your door, throws you in a suit of armor, and drags you into battle. If you like your metal with a side of high drama and enough shredding to make your grandma clutch her pearls, this one’s for you.
