SUB ROSA (“under the rose”) is an expression used to denote secrecy or confidentiality.
“In the Middle Ages, a rose was suspended from the ceiling of a meeting room to commit those present (those who were “under the rose”) to keep confidential what was said there. This habit dates back to Greek mythology, where Aphrodite gave a rose to her son, Eros, god of love, and he – in turn – handed it over to Harpocrates, god of silence, to ensure that his mother's secrets – or others' gods – were not revealed.”
The band was formed in 2006. The first official album, the conceptual “The Gigsaw”, was released in 2009. Highly praised for its elaborate concept, musicality and symbology, by 2015, it had sold more than 15,000 copies worldwide, independently, with the support of small distributors from the USA and Europe.
In October 2011, the band toured the East Coast of the United States. The repercussions further increased the sales of the first album.
After a few singles and a great feedback from the fans, the band releases their second album, titled “11:11”, on November 11, 2021.
The differentials of SUB ROSA's Progressive Rock are the simplicity of the songs and the lyrics philosophical approach.
More than making music, SUB ROSA's purpose is to carry the message that we can and must make this world a better place.
LINE-UP: Bárbara Laranjeira: Drums and voice. Rudolf Pinto: Guitars. Reinaldo José: Bass and voice. Antônio "ToSan" Ribeiro: Keyboards. Alexandre Salgueiro: Keyboards and voice

O embrião da banda paulistana de metal progressivo Vivalma, que fez sua estreia com o álbum “Human Effect”, surgiu em 2009. Após algumas alterações, a formação hoje traz Marco Petucco (voz), Odilon Gonçalves (guitarra), Raphael Filt (baixo) e Felipe Abud (bateria).

Utilizando influências de nomes como Pain of Salvation, Muse, Rush, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Dream Theater e Symphony X a seu favor, os músicos foram moldando seu próprio estilo de forma libertária e sem impor limites.

Atualmente, a banda está focada em eventos da cultura pop/geek e trabalha releituras de trilhas sonoras de filmes, games, desenhos e séries, enquanto segue, paralelamente, com suas composições autorais.

Since the bands conception, Immortal Guardian has stuck to what they know best – face melting, mind-blowing, power/progressive/melodic shred. Known for their extreme live performances and synchronized light show, the band has left countless fans in awe with their astounding musicianship and technicality. The band has received praise from guitar enthusiasts around the world due to guitarist/keyboardist Gabriel Guardian’s ability to shred on both instruments SIMULTANEOUSLY and Jyro Alejo's blistering speed and impeccable technique. They we're recently noticed by Fender and Jackson Guitars and became officially endorsed artists in November of 2013. With the addition of Brazilian vocal siren Carlos Zema, the band has evolved into a full frontal metal assault of anthemic melodies, technical rhythms, and powerful highflying vocals. The band has recently returned from their first international tour in Brazil and is gearing up for the release of their sophmore EP, Revolution Pt. 1, being mixed by legendary producer/engineer Roy Z (Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson, Halford, Yngwie Malmsteen)
After connecting with Carlos Zema, Immortal Guardian decided to re-release their first EP Super Metal in its entirety with Zema on vocals in mid 2013 prior to leaving for their Brazil tour. Having received industry credit through acknowledgement from prog-metal luminaries such as Jeff Loomis, formally of Nevermore, Michael Romeo of Symphony X, and Travis Richter of The Human Abstract, the band has continued to grow musically and impress new fans as they prepare for the future and getting their music out to the global metal community.
 
Immortal Guardian has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Steve Vai, Symphony X, Soilwork, Nevermore, Turisas, Animals as Leaders, The Human Abstract, Scale the Summit, Consider The Source, Warbringer, Blackguard, Powerglove, HateSphere, and many others. Immortal Guardian has completed in state touring (Spring 2010), two short national tours (Winter 2010, Summer 2011) in addition to their recent Super Metal Brazil Tour in summer of 2013.
