Portuguese Scene Report @ Terrorizer (Outubro 2007): ThanatoSchizO Hailing from an isolated region of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, in the interior north of Portugal, ThanatoSchizO are a decade-old band who have always defied categorisation, incorporating in their technical and compelx sound elements of progressive death metal, ambient, black metal and electronics. They have just finished recording their fourth album, featuring the guest talents of Timb Harris from Estradasphere and Svein Egil Hatlevik from Fleurety and former DHG, a pair that illustrates very well the contrasts at play in ThanatoSchizO's music. In the meanwhile, catch the videos of the recordings that band has made available on Youtube. José Carlos Santos and Paulo Figueiredo

Fourth video:

Dear friends, My name is Gui from Portugal and I play guitar on ThanatoSchizO, a progressive Doom\Death Metal band. Here's the latest news about ThanatoSchizO: Portuguese avant-garde maniacs THANATOSCHIZO entered Rec'n'Roll Studios in Valadares, Porto, Portugal last month with producer (and TARANTULA drummer) Luis Barros to begin recording their fourth album. Watch the (so far) 3 video report from the studio at : Vídeo 1: Vídeo 2: Vídeo 3: Confirmed guest appearances on the CD include Timb Harris (ESTRADASPHERE) and Svein Egil Hatlevik (ZWEIZZ, FLEURETY, ex-DØDHEIMSGARD). A summer release is expected. THANATOSCHIZO last year signed a deal with the Mexican label Divenia Records for the release of their first album, "Schizo Level", on the American continent. The CD garnered attention due to its combination of "schizoid black metal, saxs, trumpets and ethereal doom passages," according to a press release. Upcoming THANATOSCHIZO shows: Jul. 06 - Alquimista, Lisboa (w/ ORPHANED LAND) Jul. 07 - Junta de Freguesia, Panóias, Braga (w/ ORPHANED LAND) Jul. 14 - Dark Ritual Fest IV - Cineteatro, Corroios (w/ SAMAEL) Cheers, Gui

azal: really, really thanks! No drugs or booze here, sorry

Still hoping for some help...please

Hello, My name is Gui and I'm from Portugal. Yes, Portugal! Well, I play in a band: ThanatoSchizO. You can check some mp3 of the 3 albuns in www.thanatoschizo.com or www.myspace.com/thanatoschizo Here's the deal: in 2003 we had a review in a magazine called RockExpress and I've assumed that I would find some help here so I could translate the review text to english. Here it goes: http://www.rockexpress.org/recenzije/metal33.html "Od izlaska remek dela zvanog "Woolfheart" dobro nam znanog benda koji danas hoda nekim blatnjavim putevima, iz Portugala su s vremena na vreme počeli da se pojavljuju kvalitetni i iznad svega originalni bendovi. Takvi su i Thanatoschizo koji su svoj prvenac objavili poslednjih dana 2001. za novu i anonimnu portugalsku kuću. Ovaj izuzetni bend je fanovima ponudio neobično i nestandardno izdanje prepuno vrtoglavih okreta i preskakanja iz pravca u pravac tako da na prvo slušanje teško možete pohvatati o čemu se radi. Međutim, kvalitet muziciranja i idejno bogatstvo ubrzo sve postavljaju na svoje mesto tako da album postaje vrlo lako i zarazno štivo! Bendovi koji svoju svirku zasnivaju na avangardnim aranžmanima i progresivnim idejama obično toliko odlaze u krajnost da im albumi postaju nepodnosljivi za slušanje. Kod Thanatoschizo to nikako nije slučaj jer je njihova formula bila mnogo pametnija: mix oldschool Death/Black zvuka u osnovi sa progresiv/avangard deonicama predstavlja lepo osveženje za sve fanove ovog pravca koji će to sigurno znati da cene. Posebno se ističu vokali - izuzetno grubi muški (growls & screams) i originalni ženski. Ako se pitate zašto "Schizo Level", verujte saznaćete slušajući ovaj CD. Drugi naziv za ovo izdanje mogao bi glasiti "Od nastanka Metala do danas" jer ovo je dobar vodič za one koji su preskočili neke pravce omiljene nam muzike! Kontakt: [email protected] Ocena: 8/10" So if anyone wants to waste some minutes translating this text to english for me I'll be very thankful. Thanks in advance!
