Details: In the course of High Roller's select back catalogue reissues from Vulcano, the label also releases a remastered version of the band's latest full-length "Epilogue", which was self-published by mastermind Zhema in early 2024. The group's 13th longplayer sees the core duo - guitarist/main songwriter Zhema guitars and singer Luiz Carlos Louzada have been working together since 1997 - in top form, highlighting their unique chemistry. "I have no one who could replace Luiz Carlos,", Zhema ponders. "I give him a vocal line, and he returns it much improved, it's just impressive!" Given the high intensity of the material, which leaves nothing but scorched earth in less than 30 minutes, one has to wonder why the Brazilian legends had to release it on their own. "It had been ready since February 2024, and I offered it to record companies but didn't get any positive feedback", Zhema reveals. "On the other hand, I believed that it deserved a vinyl pressing, so I'm happy to team up with High Roller to this effect." And if you want to take the title "Epilogue" literally, you are mistaken, since Zhema's already working on new stuff to keep Brazil's old-school spirit alive. "There are bands all over the country now," he concludes "but progress brought a lot of technique in the execution of songs, which - In my opinion - quickly becomes boring."
