Marcelo Barbosa's interview @ Rock Overdose (Greece)!
The original link: http://www.rockoverdose.gr/news_details.php?id=7282.
It's also available in Greek!
Rock Overdose: Welcome to Rockoverdose.gr! So, a new album is ready to be released. Tell us some things about this new stuff and what we have to expect?
Marcelo: This is our third album, the second as a band since the first Almah CD was a solo project of Edu Falaschi, Angra’s singer. During this time the band became more mature and we believe that in this particular album we could finally find our inner voice. The songs are heavier but also technical and with catchy melodies, mainly on the chorus. We are really proud of the results and anxious to hear the opinion of the audience.
Rock Overdose: How would you describe us this album with the previous?
Marcelo: I think that Almah’s songwriting formula, If I could call it like that, is based on the triad power, technique and melody. We all are technical musicians and some of us are really into progressive music, so it’s impossible to be too far from it. Beside this, the guitar riffs are really powerfull and we are using seven stringed guitars, so everything sounds heavier. Edu normally is in charge of the melodies and he is pretty good on it. Every song has melodies that we start to sing along after the first audition.
Rock Overdose: You think that it was good for the band that Angra was behind Almah in some way?
Marcelo: In certain way it was good, in other it wans’t. Pretty much like everything in life. It was good because it opened some doors in record labels, TVs, magazines and producers. But Angra is a big band and of course, sometimes we had to wait for a free space on their schedule so we could work with Almah. This is the bad part.
Rock Overdose: How about lives? Do you have something on your plans?
Marcelo: We’re playing live in Brazil for one month right now and I think we have more eight or ten concerts confirmed until the end of this year. This is good because in Brazil we have a good audience and the concerts are doing great. Some of them are with Sepultura, and we played twice with Machine Head too. It’s great to have a chance to play with those guys.
Rock Overdose: Who is responsible for the composing and lyrics part of the albums?
Marcelo: We did all the compositions together but Edu started the majority of them. He bought the initial ideas and we made the arrangements, instrumental sections or a new part that wans’t there together. The lyrics were done by Edu and Felipe.
Rock Overdose: What’s the main inspiration of the lyrics part?
Marcelo: In this album we agreed to talk about real life. About things that are in our ordinary days. Some of them have a personal feel but some are just about life facts.
Rock Overdose: How would you describe Almah with three words?
Marcelo: I told this in another question. Power, technique and melody.
Rock Overdose: How much in your opinion internet can help bands nowadays?
Marcelo: Internet is great to help promoting bands. You can be directly in contact with your fans and youtube is a fantastic tool to see how the bands are live, and promote video clips. The problem is that a lot of the material that pops there are with bad quality so it can show something that isn’t the truth. Once again, internet is just a tool. It can be good or bad depending on how you use it.
Rock Overdose: What’s your opinion about Greece and Greek people?
Marcelo: I don’t know personally a lot of Greek people but Greece is one the places in the world that I’m sure I will visit in the future. I do love arts in general and history so; I think that is mandatory to anyone who loves these fields to know Greece. Beside this, I do read a lot about philosophy and of course I’m quite familiar with the work of some Greek philosophers, mainly Socrates, Aristotle and Plato. I think these are the Greek people that I know and I do love them… LOL
You know, there’s a coincidence in this question. The entire Motion concept is based on moving on and trying to be better every day, things like that. When we were talking about this, I brought an Heraclitus’ quote that is: “You cannot step into the same river, for fresh waters are ever flowing on to you.” These words are written on the CD folder and also inspired the lyrics of Living and Drifting, one of the best songs of this CD in my opinion.
Rock Overdose: Is there something else you would like to announce, before we end this interview?
Marcelo: I would like to thank you for the space and interest in our work. Hopefully, soon we will be back in Europe with the whole band do some concerts and I’m looking forward to see everyone there. All the best!
Rock Overdose: Thank you for your time, we wish you the best!
It's also available in Greek!

Interview for Metalzone Webzine (Greece)
Metalzone: Hello and welcome to Metalzone. Your brand new album, “Motion”, has been released about a month ago. Tell us a few things about this new endeavor of yours.
Marcelo Barbosa: I think that now, three years after our last record we are more mature as musicians and also as a team. We know each other better so everything was faster than the last time. We worked in the pre-production thru emails and hung up for one week before getting into the studio. In this week we arranged every song and the results were impressive. Like I said, as we know each other better we knew what to expect from each one about music, playing and song writing. The whole process was smooth, easy and really fast.
Metalzone: As far as I am concerned Almah begun as a solo project, featuring Angra’s singer Edu Falaschi. Five years after the band was formed, it has released 3 studio albums; so, can we say that Almah is now a “full time” band?
Marcelo Barbosa: Yes you’re right. It began as a solo project but even before the second album it became a band. I’m with Edu and Felipe since that time when we were touring promoting the first album and sometime after that Moreira and Paulo joined the band. During the Fragile Equality process we firmed this line up and as time goes by we feel more comfortable as a team, as a group. For now we all are a hundred percent focused in Almah and in the promotion of MOTION that is in my opinion our best work.
Metalzone: From my perspective, your music is a combination of heavy/power metal and progressive power metal and “melody” is the key word in this “mixture”. How would you describe your music?
Marcelo Barbosa: You did it well. I would say that Almah’s music is based on the triad: power, technique and melody. Me and Felipe are really into phttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrogressive music, Paulo is fully into death/trash and Edu is a great songwriter who always comes up with catchy melodies. We are pretty eclectic but metal is the common line between us. So, these three elements are in every song we write and it became something like a trademark.

About Almah's Motion
Ok, I'm in the other side of the world, in Hamburg, Germany, working in the promotion of our new album. In the last seven days, we visited Japan, France and now Germany. This experience has been great but also exausting. While we're here, I just realized that today is the release of MOTION in Brazil. We are really excited to know what you people will think about this work and based on some questions we're answering in this promo trip, I wrote down some lines about the album and it's conception in one of the many flights we took these days.
Hope you enjoy...
I really believe that we as human beings are always, consciously or uncosciously, changing. We change in our way of thinking, in our feelings and the way we see life itself. In some people the changes are stronger, in other smoother, it depends on a serie of factors, but the main point here is that we change, adapt, evolve. This is what makes the whole MOTION concept so interisting and rich. Beside, as a consequence, art itself changes too. As an artist who expresses himself throught the music, I think that since your art is a way of expression of your feelings, thoughts, sensations or whatever, it's more than natural that it changes with any change that comes to you. Otherwise, it's nothing more than fake, false or forced way of making music based in a predetermined formula, normally choosen from what the artist or the record lable thinks it would be better accepted by the market itself.
In this CD, we wrote and played what we were feeling. There isn't one note or word on it that doesn't represent our truth at this moment and I do believe that anyone who listens to it closely with an open heart and mind will notice it. That's why we're so proud of it.
Really hope you enjoy! Keep moving!

ALMAH official statement
photo by Paula Mordente www.paulamordente.com
ALMAH has just finished another part of Fragile Equality Tour. The band played in various cities of Brazil finishing this leg on the stage of Marreco’s fest in Brasilia.
ALMAH’s founder, frontman and mastermind Edu Falaschi has come up with an official statement about the recent tour and the future of the band:
“I would like to give a lot of thanks to everybody from the name of Almah for your incredible love and support during these five years of the band. The whole FRAGILE EQUALITY TOUR was unforgettable, mainly due to the amazing presence of the fans on the latest shows: it’s impossible to explain how it feels to see you singing along to all our songs! We haven’t been able to visit all the cities where we would like to play, but we will make it possible in the next tour! At the moment Felipe Andreoli and me are quite busy with the new ANGRA’s things, which naturally slow down the rhythm of Almah activities. However, it doesn’t mean that the band will be stopped. We are already working at new ideas for the next album and when the best moment for it comes we will record a new CD and we will back on track! See you soon, my friends! ALMAH is here: Edu Falaschi, Felipe Andreoli, Marcelo Barbosa, Paulo Schroeber and Marcelo Moreira!”
Edu Falaschi
ALMAH was initially established in 2006 as a project of ANGRA’s singer Edu Falaschi. Since then ALMAH has released two albums worldwide (Almah 2006/2007, Fragile Equality 2008), has turned from a solo-project into a regular band, and has won its own important place on the world metal scene. Edu Falaschi’s mate from Angra Felipe Andreoli (bass) also joined the band in 2007 and they work in ALMAH simultaneously with Angra. The band also relies on Marcelo Barbosa (guitars), Paulo Schroeber (guitars) and Marcelo Moreira (drums). All the musicians of Almah have got their important place on Brazilian metal scene playing in various bands and projects, producing CDs, making workshops and doing teaching and didactic work.
