Discovered by nobody less
than ULI KUSCH, former HELLOWEEN and MASTERPLAN drummer, Marcelo finally
had his chance to show to the world his drumming skills. Indicated
by ULI to join the Dutch band EPICA, Marcelo was one of only three
drummers, from the entire world, chosen to do the test in 2007. After
a good presentation Marcelo was confident about his performance and
despite the level of the competitors it seemed like he was going to
be the one. Unfortunately the hired drummer Ariën Van Weesenbeek (God
Dethroned) decided to accept the proposal made to him, before Epica
started to look for a drummer, and kept his position.
Em 2007, foi um dos 3 bateristas,
do mundo todo, selecionados para entrar na banda holandesa EPICA.
Marcelo foi descoberto pelo grande baterista ULI KUSCH (ex-HELLOWEEN
e MASTERPLAN). O baterista gostou tanto dos vídeos e músicas de Marcelo
que indicou ao Epica. Infelizmente o baterista contratado do Epica,
Ariën (God Dethroned), resolveu aceitar a proposta que havia lhe sido
feita antes do teste de Marcelo, e decidiu ficar definitivamente no
Epica.
In 2008 Edu Falaschi (Angra) invited
Marcelo to join his band Almah. The group is currently working on
new material for a second release due in 2008 and with a big world
tour in support of the new album. Along with Edu and Marcelo tree
other amazing talents completes the line up – Felipe Andreoli (Bass,
Angra), Paulo Schroeber (Guitar) end Marcelo Barbosa (Guitar, Khallice).
Stay tuned for more info and tour dates.

Edu e Marcelo, 3 excelentes músicos completam o time – Felipe
Andreoli (Baixo, Angra), Paulo Schroeber (Guitarra) e Marcelo Barbosa
