English: Reaching Tempestt?s roots we have to return to the 90?s musical scene of S?o 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.

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.
Portuguese:
Para se chegar nas ra?zes do Tempestt ? necess?rio retornar ao criativo cen?rio musical de S?o Paulo dos anos 90 ? que gerou nomes como Angra e Shaaman.Naquela ?poca, o Brasil ainda n?o estava completamente inserido na agenda de shows das grandes bandas internacionais e a internet apenas engatinhava. Dessa forma o cen?rio musical para o rock pesado ficava restrito a apenas alguns clubes do g?nero e aos poucos t?tulos que os grandes selos lan?avam. Ainda assim foi uma ?poca extremamente produtiva e muitos talentos despontaram nos mal iluminados palcos paulistas.Esse ? o caso do Tempestt, que come?ou sua trajet?ria em meados de 1.999 tocando covers de bandas como Journey, Kansas, Europe, Queen, Bon Jovi e Dream Theater. O que chamava a aten??o do p?blico era exatamente a forma que essas m?sicas eram executadas, e logo a banda de covers tinha uma legi?o 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 turn? pelo Brasil.N?o precisou de muito tempo para que os integrantes da banda percebessem que eles tamb?m poderiam criar suas pr?prias composi??es e foi exatamente isso que eles fizeram.Nesse ?lbum de estr?ia ? poss?vel notar o talento individual de cada m?sico e o quanto esses anos de uni?o como banda foram importantes para a sua t?cnica. Fica claro ap?s ouvir algumas faixas que a banda est? preparada e pronta para fazer parte do cen?rio hard/heavy internacional.
