Brazilian metal band Icon Of Sin issued their self-titled debut full-length studio album on April 16th, 2021 through Frontiers Music Srl.
Icon Of Sin was the brainchild of Serafino Perugino, President and A&R director of Frontiers Music Srl. Discovering vocalist Raphael Mendes through YouTube, Perugino recruited fellow Brazilian musicians Sergio Mazul (Semblant) and Marcelo Gelbcke (Landfall) to write tracks for a self-titled debut affair.
“This album will surprise many people,” commented frontman Raphael Mendes. “This is one of those albums you listen to from the beginning ‘til the end, appreciating all the songs and repeating it again many times. There are songs about movies, video games, and more and I think combining these things with metal music is awesome. When Sergio and Marcelo showed me the songs, I got so happy because this is the kind of music I love and when you do the things with passion, it comes naturally. It was really amazing to work with them.”
“I’m thrilled to show to the world the massive heavy metal album we’ve created,” added producer and songwriter Marcelo Gelbcke. “It was fun to use my songwriter / producer’s hat on this one. It’s a very diverse and organic record and I believe that heavy metal fans are going to love it!”
