Seven Side Diamond

This Brazilian band (Crossover Prog) was formed in the late 90's, by the Fadel brothers, João and André, with their childhood friend Casimiro Araújo and later, João decided to invite Diego Porres to join the band he had with his brother. As the band didn't have a lead singer at the time, they started working on some of Andre´s compositions. The next step was to complete the line up with a lead singer. An advertisement at their school called the attention of Diego Americo. At this point, in 2001, the band was complete and ready to start. During this first year, the band performed many concerts and prepared the first album. In December of 2001 the first single was released: "Memory of a Dead". The recording is the exact one present in the "Seven Side Diamond" album (to be released at 2002). In the following year, the band recorded another few songs and released the first album. Many shows and two years later, the band released the second album - "Transition". In 2005, the first recorded live performance of the band was released - "Far Beyond Live". The album was released also as a live DVD. After "Far Beyond Live" and many concerts the band started working on the next album called "Enigma". The concept was a lot more ambitious, and the album production was now performed by the band, represented by Diego Porres. In December of 2009, "Speranza" was released - as the Enigma's first single. The complete album was concluded in October 2010 and released in 2011.
