Breakneck
The band was formed on april 2002 at Guaxupé, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It came from two local bands which split up and, at the beginning, the line-up was Biano (V), José Gonçalves Filho - Zezinho (G), Caetano Abrão (G), André "Leitão" (Bass) and Marco Aurélio (D). One month later the band had a new bass player and drummer, Cuca and Leonardo Ferreira, respectively.
Playing cover songs from bands like Megadeth, Pantera, Sepultura and Slayer and already composing original songs, with the biggest influences from Death and Slayer, the band did a lot of local shows until January 2003, when Caetano left the band. Then Biano assumed the other guitar.
The band moved on playing some gigs more and then the unexpected ocurred: Zezinho suffered a serious car accident, which affected his left hand nerves. He couldn't play for a while until he was submitted to a nerve recovery surgery. During this happening the band stayed for about five months without activities. Just start playing again when the guitar player's left hand became healthy.
Yet on January 2004, the bassist Cuca was forced to left the band, due to his lack of technique and professional skills. Since the band couldn' t found a substitute for the function, Biano took over the bass and the band became a power trio.
The year of 2004 was set by a few personal difficulties, until January 2005, when the band entered in studio to record three songs: Breakneck, Scream of Death and Diary of a Murderer. The songs were released on the first band's demo CD, self titled. It shows a thrash metal with several influences, and was released on July 2005. On September the band participates of a compilation released by a brazilian zine, ThunderGod Zine, with the song Scream of Death.
The band is still fighting for metal and hope to break many necks around the world!
