   About Cerbero



Cérbero foi formado em 1980 em São Paulo pelos irmãos Marco Tonalezzi e Carlo Tonalezzi nas guitarras e Sergio Gonçalves no baixo e vocals. Com a adição de Tony Fontão na bateria em 1981 a formação classica do Cérbero estava completa.

A idéia era tocar o Metal mais rapido e pesado o possivel, mas ao mesmo tempo manter a musicalidade e partes interessantes para nos e nossa audiencia.

A banda começou a tocar em varios locais que estavam aparecendo naquela época em São Paulo, como por exemplo, Rainbow Bar, Lira Paulistana, Carbono 14, Clube Vila Mariana, Clube Aéroviarios, Fofinho Rock Club, etc...

Em bem pouco tempo, conseguimos reunir um numero consideravel de amigos e fãs que estavam consistentemente lotando todos os shows. Naquela época, o começo do que iria se tornar um grande movimento em direção a uma forma de Metal mais agressiva, rapida e potente estava se formando. Os termos Thrash, Power e Speed Metal haviam acabado de aparecer. Judas Priest, Motörhead, Iron Maiden e bandas cada vez mais pesadas e rapidas estavam se dando muito bem e o Cérbero estava se esforcando ao maximo para se tornar o exemplo Brasileiro desta nova forma de Metal.

Por volta de 1983 um artigo da pioneira Rock Brigade Magazine mencionou que tinhamos um som parecido com o do Metallica!...nossa reaçao foi....."Mas quem é Metallica?!?", rsrsrs...Apesar de termos passado a decada de 70 inteira atras dos ultimos lancamentos de Hard/Heavy Rock, quando formamos a banda em 1980, passamos muito mais tempo escrevendo, ensaiando e tocando nossas proprias musicas e menos tempo escutando outras bandas. Alguns dias depois, conseguimos escutar Metallica, gostamos do que ouvimos e decidimos fazer uma cover de "Metal Militia" para mostrar para nossa audiencia que estavamos no mesmo nivel de bandas internacionais. E funcionou!

Mudamos de São Paulo para NY em 1985 com o objetivo de encontrar um vocalista com a mesma paixao pelo Metal verdadeiro e com a mesma potencia e energia que a banda possuia. O problema foi que o visto para que nosso baixista, vocalista e irmao de sangue, Sergio Goncalves, entrasse nos EUA, foi negado pelo Consulado Americano duas vezes seguidas e tivemos que esperar quatro anos para que ele chegasse, mas nesse ponto, nossas vidas haviam tomado outros rumos.

Nosso amor por Metal e pela banda nunca enfraqueceu, ficou ate' mais forte, e por isso, em 2005, para celebrar os 25 anos de formação da banda, lançamos o CD "Official Bootleg: Live at the Rainbow, São Paulo, Brazil 1983" com algumas das unicas gravaçoes disponiveis do que muitos consideram uma das primeiras bandas de Thrash Metal do mundo! Estas gravaçoes foram feitas ao vivo e com minimos recursos. Pensando bem, é até surpreendente que elas mesmo existam e que sobreviveram por mais de 20 anos em um tape cassette partido ao meio. Levando isso em consideração, esperamos que voces as curtam pelo que são, ou seja, uma gravacao tosca e honesta de um bando de caras dando tudo o que tem e uma incrivel quantidade de energia sendo trocada entre a banda e a audiencia!

Presentemente estamos em meios a gravaçoes de um novo CD (de estudio, finalmente!) com musicas inéditas o qual sera' lançado dentro de alguns meses.

Iremos também participar do DVD/Documentario/Show "Brasil Heavy Metal" ( www.brasilheavymetal.com.br ), o qual esta' marcado para acontecer em Novembro de 2009.

Cerbero was formed in 1980 in Sao Paulo, Brazil by the brothers Marco Tonalezzi and Carlo Tonalezzi on guitars and Sergio Goncalves on bass and vocals. With the addition of Tony Fontao on Drums in 1981 Cerbero's classic formation was complete.

The idea was to play the fastest and heaviest metal we could come up with and at the same time keep it musical and interesting for our audience and us.

The band started gigging at several new venues that were opening up in Sao Paulo. Just to name a few: Rainbow Bar, Lira Paulistana, Carbono 14, Vila Mariana and Fofinho Rock Club.

In a very short time, Cerbero amounted a considerable number of very loyal friends and fans, which packed every show. At the time, the beginning of what would become a major movement towards a more aggressive, fast and powerful form of Metal was taking place. The terms Thrash, Power and Speed Metal had just started to appear. Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and heavier and faster bands were doing very good and Cerbero was doing it's best to become Brazil's prime example of that new form of Metal.

At around 1983 someone from a fanzine in Brazil compared us to Metallica!...and our reaction was..."Who the F*** is Metallica?!", hehehe... We decided to check them out, liked what we heard and decided to do a cover of "Metal Militia" in order to show our audience that we too could pull it off, and in fact were already doing it, but we felt we needed to show our Brazilian audience that we were up to "international standards". It worked!

In 2005 in order to mark the 25th Anniversary of the band's formation, Cerbero released the "Official Bootleg Live at the Rainbow, SP, Brazil 1983" CD which is one of the very few recordings available from what many consider to be one of the very first Thrash Metal bands in the world! These recordings were made live with bare minimum equipment. Come to think of it, it is pretty amazing that they even exist al all. With that said...we hope that you enjoy these recordings for what they are...a bunch of guys giving all they've got and an amazing amount of energy being exchanged between the band and the audience!

Cerbero made the move from Brazil to the U.S.A (NYC) in 1985 and the main objective was to find a singer who would have the same passion for true metal and deliver it with with the same power and energy as the band itself.

Cerbero is currently writting and recording new material for a much antecipated (and overdue) studio album which is scheduled to be released in 2009.

We are also scheduled to appear on a DVD/Documentary/Show called "Brasil Heavy Metal" ( www.brasilheavymetal.com.br ), being produced right now and scheduled to happen in November 2009.
