Soul
Stone
Answers: Josafa
1 - Why the name Soul Stone?
(laughs). Well it is feeling it. Soul of rock, mean people have no feelings, is not the case with anyone in the band hehehe, summarizing is a person incapable of feeling, cool people who do not outline any sense before any situation. There's even a phrase that I like to say to Alma
Rock, unbreakable, but unable to feel a breeze of feelings ...
2 - So the letters are of the band around this issue?
Currently yes. But I think it means a coincidence that unintentionally, because the idea is not to get attached to an issue only because we are a heavy metal band and we cover many topics, but not think much about it, the songs they arise and according to what she calls the letters are placed in it.
3 - What is the current training? How many have already gone through training?
Man went through several configurations, currently training are original only I (Josafá) and Lucas. At first we were training, I (guitar), Renato Gonzaga (guitar) Lucas Resende (keyboards, Marcelo Carbulante (low) and then replaced by Aeson Galtama Gustavo "woodpecker" (hit) and Junior (vocals), even then did Hammerfall cover and the name of the band was "SAGA." After the Junior left the voice, and Lucas began to sing the Gustavo left the hit and entered the Claiton. After all the members left the band and we just Lucas and I was where we stopped for composing the songs and find people interested in the band to work with music itself. It was there that we find Renato Tadeu (bass) and Marcelo Guarato (guitars). In personal problems Renato Tadeu left the band giving rise to current bassist Nilson Junior . After the band spent several drummers, Marlus, Claiton again Tati Ribeiro and then find that our current drummer. When Lucas Vocal Resende, Marcelo and Zafa (guitars) Junior Nilson (bass) and Tati Ribeiro (hit), I hope that training lasts for a long time (laughs).
4 - Then, after the change in formation the band has matured?
No idea man, not only in age but also in musical experience. The youngest of the band is 21 years with Nilson. The Lucas and Marcelo already played together in a band called Slaves of Fate, and both have over 10 years of road. The marcelo currently also plays in cirrhosis, has passed by bands, Mata Leon, Minus One, and several other bands, can not remember all, even he said when he joined the band too. The Lucas also went through several bands. I played in various bands and I have almost 10 years of road also. The Tati went through various bands also including the Seasons Of Hell and is taught in the State Conservatory here in Uberlândia. The Nilson has also played in various bands including bands in the Hard and Hot Skull, and not to a musician that is very applied. Finally the experience is not lacking. And I repeat, I hope that this training lasts a long time.
5 - With such maturity, as you see the scene uberlandense the metal in all these years you are there?
Well .. The audience of old, like not going far, 10 years ago, was much more faithful. The events are filled with people, the public really come to watch the bands. The scene in general is very weak in Uberlândia. Previously there dozens of musical styles in metal, nowadays the people really like "invent" the metal parts and that generates much discussion and separates the gang. Another thing, bands that do not sound very valued here in Uberlândia, there are many good bands here and in the region that deserve to be heard and appreciated. The gang goes to events just to make a social, pay to enter the event only to be seen or even drop to drink. I think when starting to go to events to watch the bands, then yes, things began to change. The guys who organize the events are also starting to be more demanding about the participation of the bands and also the quality of events. What matters most I think to begin to change the metal scene is the gang begin to demand quality in the bands, for example: go to an event that announces such a cover of Sepultura and the band plays only one song, the guys has to express and actually charge the band to make a cover and not really just a song. Well this is only one of the things that I think has to change, many things have to be improved further, but the few things will change and this is very good.
6 - The members have different influences such as Cannibal Corpse, Helloween, Saxon, Metallica, Anthrax, Annihilator, but band and what are the common influences?
Man in general we like to band together, Iron Maiden is preferred for all the band for example, but the taste of all music is very wide, the Marcelo pulls more to the Death also very short and the bands eighties, the Lucas Curti most bands already hard for example, but also hear other things, hear bands like Arch Enemy, Evergrey, Mystic prophecy, as the likes Tati many power metal bands as I do and also Nilson. but we still hear other things, have heard much power and now I hear many other styles too. But in general we all have the same opinion in time to compose, and it turns what you heard or will hear hehehe.
7 - Facing Evil is a strong line of impact a little less melodic would be the most aggressive of you?
(laughter) He asked for the suspect for more about it, I love that song, I is the shortest, but also the other very short, even too, but she and my favorite. Well it is not the most aggressive, Tomorrow is Black which is much more aggressive than her, the others are much more aggressive, taking the The Unbeliever is a quiet but no less heavy than the others.
8 - I am in it because it begins more aggressive, the other that you worked for after he starts becoming aggressive! Speaking on the work of the band ... which the contacts of you? Email, call concerned, Web pages, orkut ...

9 - You have kept a string of shows both here and outside?
The band now is the time of restructuring, we have a new drummer, and that if everything goes well (has) will be with us for long. So let us first mesh, but we will not be completely stopped, we show marked rock against hunger this year and we have two more dates to be confirmed yet. Good, and we are also in the process of composition and recording.
10 - Best show of their career?
Had two. One was in cerradão hardcore (hug for Roberto) and Metal 3 Night organized by the master production (abraço pros guys in there too) in the open for selective pro eternal.
11 - On the rock against hunger ... told me that you will play there, I am part of the organization, but ... what you think about a charity event that is sponsored by several companies) charge of the bands to play? This is also happening this year?
Well neither am part of the organization, and I do not know how this scheme sponsors, but I think the money collected with the bands should go pay costs that the sponsors do not cover. I think if the money is for improving the event because it does not help because it is a charity event.
12 - One last question on this ... is not the charge for heavy music to play? We should help, but not as much as that? Do not you think?
Man I think it depends, for example never pay to play cover songs meant, but it is to disclose a job that pays very think so. The event is a rock against the greater weight of the region and one of the largest of Mines, then it pays to think yes, but not to ring cover. If you go to Zoar is just playing better stay at home, this year the professional level of the bands will be much higher.
13 - Josafá ... I hope we can achieve every success in what we desire, even the sound of you not in any way in influencing hear, he gets to be excited by the level of efficiency involved in the music, or the quality is out of the ordinary, believe in a small margin of time already at a high level not only in the region and in the country ... and please ... leave a message for fans and admirers and your message to the metal ... valeu abraço!
Well this guy will be the most cool to meet. Well first thank you for the opportunity to talk a bit about the band, thanks for your kind words and I'd like to say is: I would like first to thank all our fans, employees, staff of the events, in short to all who helped us and help today. Pra galera METAL in general wanted to ask for more unity, less disagreements, more support. Our sound is for you ... grade hug everyone.
