Reaching Tempestt´s roots we have to return to the 90´s musical scene of São Paulo. At that time, names like Angra and Shaaman were beginnig to be heard. Brazil was not inserted in the agenda of great international concerts yet and the Internet was only for few people at that time. Heavy rock was restricted only to some clubs and maybe some big bands that eventually made concerts. Despite the difficulties many great bands and good musicians started to appear and Tempestt is one of them. They started in the middle of 1.999 playing covers. Journey, Kansas, Europe, Queen, Bon Jovi and Dream Theater, were some of it. The form that Tempestt played those songs, starts to bring more and more fans. Soon, Tempestt was playing with great musicians, like Billy Sheehan and was chosen as Jeff Scott Soto´s band in his concerts in Brazil. A little later, the band figured out that they also could start to write their own songs. On this debut album, it is easy to see the individual talent of each musician and how the years of union as a band were important to them. Listening just to a few songs is possible to figure that the band is prepared and ready to be part of the international hard/heavy scenario.

Para se chegar nas raízes do Tempestt é necessário retornar ao criativo cenário musical de São Paulo dos anos 90 – que gerou nomes como Angra e Shaaman.Naquela época, o Brasil ainda não estava completamente inserido na agenda de shows das grandes bandas internacionais e a internet apenas engatinhava. Dessa forma o cenário musical para o rock pesado ficava restrito a apenas alguns clubes do gênero e aos poucos títulos que os grandes selos lançavam. Ainda assim foi uma época extremamente produtiva e muitos talentos despontaram nos mal iluminados palcos paulistas.Esse é o caso do Tempestt, que começou sua trajetória em meados de 1.999 tocando covers de bandas como Journey, Kansas, Europe, Queen, Bon Jovi e Dream Theater. O que chamava a atenção do público era exatamente a forma que essas músicas eram executadas, e logo a banda de covers tinha uma legião de admiradores.Em pouco tempo de estrada, o Tempestt tocou com Billy Sheehan e foi escolhido como banda de apoio para o vocalista Jeff Scott Soto em sua turnê pelo Brasil.Não precisou de muito tempo para que os integrantes da banda percebessem que eles também poderiam criar suas próprias composições e foi exatamente isso que eles fizeram.Nesse álbum de estréia é possível notar o talento individual de cada músico e o quanto esses anos de união como banda foram importantes para a sua técnica. Fica claro após ouvir algumas faixas que a banda está preparada e pronta para fazer parte do cenário hard/heavy internacional. Read more on Last.fm.
