ANDRALLS

Andralls was formed in late 1998 in order to bring over the purest 80´s thrash metal . After one year, the band, Alex Coelho - Guitar and Vocal, Denis Di Lallo - Guitar, Eddie C. - Bass and Gustavo Pinheiro - Drums, started recording the first album named "Massacre, Corruption, Destruction...", recorded and mixed at Quórum Studio in São Paulo, Brazil between September 1999 to August 2000.

This album was released with 10 songs and it was self produced. The band had no sponsors or label so it was very hard to distribute the CD, however, it received a lot of important comments from the specialized press, mostly international publications. After releasing the first album, Gustavo Pinheiro left the band . This stopped the work for some time and Andralls couldn´t play live for about one year.Meanwhile tests with many drummers were made, but unsuccessfully.

During these tests, Junior Santana helped the band playing sometimes in rehearsals until the band to find Xandão Brito, drummer that has already played with Alex Coelho and Eddie C. some time ago. He came presenting a great quality and professionalism, showing the attitude needed for playing the true "fasthrash". After some months with this new line-up, the band was invited to open for Judas Priest shows in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

In the end of 2002, the band was contacted by Armando Pereira, owner of Marquee Records, record label from Rio de Janeiro, that was interested in signing a deal with Andralls.

The new album "Force Against Mind" was recorded in February, 2003 in two different studios in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and was produced by Sidney Sohn (Thoten) and Fabiano Penna (Rebaellium/Horned God) and it was released in Brazil in late July, 2003 and released in Europe by Mausoleum Records with 03 bonus live tracks.
