I am just one more man
A namesake to defend
Born from the cracks of the land

Before I lay me down
I'll find some means in town
Wherever this river may flow

Arriving but staying no more
My trade's to reap and sow
This town reaps profit from death

Against a bullet born free
A man stood in her path
So her children could soar

In this wretched life today
There is nothing but decay
And now I see it's exactly as it ever was
I may try to run away
It's no different if I stayed
In the end we're only fading to dust

These crossroads may bring me to you
I must seek out

And as you come to birth
Blood turns misery around
Nodding against a handful of "no"s

Then you pace the roads
The shore halts your search
Live in slime, bury yourself dry

Follow your own funeral
To the sea in a swift ride
Into the rivers you should've dived

And as you leave this earth
You earn your plot of land
Grave for emaciated bones

In this wretched life today
There is nothing but decay
And now I see it's exactly as it ever was
I may try to run away
It's no different if I stayed
In the end we're only fading to dust

These crossroads may bring me to you

In this wretched life today
There is nothing but decay
And now I see it's exactly as it ever was
I may try to run away
It's no different if I stayed
In the end we're only fading to dust

These crossroads may bring me to you
Each breath I'm closer to my last
By your sovereign decree
This too shall pass

Sovereign

A thousand years or so it seems, we're tied by blood and love
In this lifetime, in the past, promises everlast
I've seen your face so many times, it brings joy and pain
Whether we've been close or apart, these memories remain
Overcast and out of light, I pray for some hope of dawn
If I could remember your song, love never gone

I'm losing you once again, I'll take care of you
Just like you did when I was young, hold your hand

You touch me, you pull my heartstrings
Will I emerge from the deep that drowns me?
Someday I'll feel the sun shine on these dreams
Then I'll know there's a place I can breathe

If I could manipulate time, I'd stretch it out for you
Take the time to thank the one I've always looked up to 
Push away your silence, to hear your laughter once again
Keep you warm through the night for a smile or a glance

Did my heart just skip a beat, you're fading fast for me
"Fides, per semper," gives myself belief
"Skyrocket through the universe, shade winking stars, that far.
The seventh day, the seventh week, on earth, a great rebirth."

I'm losing you once again, I'll take care of you
Just like you did when I was young, hold your hand

You touch me, you pull my heartstrings
Will I emerge from the deep that drowns me?
Someday I'll feel the sun shine on these dreams
Then I'll know there's a place I can breathe

Heartstrings

Everyday we stomach what the men on the TV fabricate
Ransackers, marauders, murderers, kidnappers
Prey on our fears, make us choke on insecurities

We shit, we spit, we stick it out
Wrongdoers they're all the same, lowlife scum
Whether they're upper, middle, or lower class
Won't take it anymore

We remember our fallen
They had their lives stolen
I'm the law in this lawlessness
With the grace of God

Quid pro quo, you know the score
No mercy now, execute 'em all
Quid pro quo, down on the floor
From this earth, we wipe 'em out

Everyday we digest the dealers' disguised gameplay checkered out on the streets
Hiding behind juvenile criminal liability
We see police shifting sands, as the guns trade hands, our state reinstates
Won't take it to the grave, won't take it anymore

Everyday we swallow as the politicians pocket kickback
Organizing crime into export quality
Jailed schools of extortion, as the slums grow out of proportion
Won't take it to the grave, won't take it anymore

They've point-blanked our well-being
It's time to intervene
I'm the law in this lawlessness
With the grace of God

Quid pro quo, you know the score
No mercy now, execute 'em all
Quid pro quo, down on the floor
From this earth, we wipe 'em out

Quid Pro Quo

Tito Falaschi (ex-Symbols), brother of Edu Falaschi (Almah, ex-Angra), has garnered over 15 years of experience as a musician and music producer, and now joins forces with Mischa Marmade (Vocals), Hilton Torres (Guitars/Vocals) and Dann Feltrin (Guitars/Backing Vocals) in an exciting new band named Zaltana. Their self-titled debut has been released but a few weeks ago. Produced by Falaschi, the album was mixed and mastered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, by Jochem Jacobs, producer and recording engineer at Split Second Sound Studio.

Crunchy riffs, groovy drum licks, and beautiful keyboard arrangements are the perfect soundscape for Mischa's sometimes melodious, other times enraged vocals. This unique blend of timbres defies current definitions of subgenres in heavy metal music and has collected nothing but positive reviews in Brazil:

Metal Temple - 10/10 Awarded! Masterpiece "Their musical work is original and personal, (...) it turns into an addiction."

Whiplash - 9/10 "Without a doubt, an album that is bold and tasteful, (...) already among the best national releases of 2014!"

Roadie Crew - 8.5/10  "Recommended to the fans of those who don't go with the flow and look for musical identity at all cost."

Música e Jornalismo - 8.5/10  "Brazil now has a representative of evident competence in contemporary metal."

Brasil Metal Historia - "Impressive! (...) given the massive quality attained on this first album."

Zaltana is now ready to have their music heard and reviewed around the world.

Thank you for listening!
