Maestrick - Espresso Della Vita: Solare (2018)

Maestrick was formed in the city of São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo state, in 2006. Since the very first beginning their goal, musically, was to mix prog rock and heavy metal. Their influences at the time were bands likes Queen, Rush, Yes, Jethro Tull, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pantera, among others. Parallel to the music concept, they were very influenced by other artistic movements like surrealism (specially by Tim Burton’s work) and other artistic languages such as cinema, painting, literature, dance and performing arts.

Back to the original material, "Espresso Della Vita" was the title chosen by Fabio Caldeira (vocal and piano), Renato “Montanha” Somera (bass) and Heitor Matos (drums) for this new Maestrick studio effort. The album is conceptual and will be released in two separated discs. The first one, "Espresso Della Vita: Solare" was recorded at Rush Studios and also at Blue Note Studios, both in Sao Paulo state. The production brings the signature of the renowned Adair Daufembach that already worked with bands such as Project46, Jhon Wayne, Hangar, Trayce, Hevilan, among others.

"Espresso Della Vita: Solare" is an observation of human life like "if it was a train ride", explains Fabio Caldeira. "When departed, we started a new learning cycle when we meet people, things, feelings and landscapes. We witness the boarding of new passengers, as well as the landing of other, sometimes beloved ones, until one day it is time for our own landing - and the continuity of learning, out of there. Everything will spend a period of one day, with the first album, "Solare", that will have 12 songs representing the 12 hours of the day. The second will be called "Lunare" and will also have 12 songs representing 12 hours of the night".
