Landfall was originally formed by drummer Felipe Souzza and guitarist Marcelo Gelbcke, childhood friends who have been playing together since they were about 15 years old. Some years later, bassist Thiago Forbeci joined up with them and added new musical input and influences, at which point the band decided to go in a new direction. In 2017, former Auras singer Gui Oliver, joined the band and Landfall began writing songs that would eventually become their first album released by Frontiers Records, “The Turning Point”. As a songwriter, Oliver had previously written songs for several artists from the label, including Jimi Jamison, Bobby Kimball, Fergie Frederiksen, and Issa.
The opener tune of "Tree Of Life" is a cracker!! Ultra-melodic and up-beat with Oliver's superb vocal lines this track grabs you at once and leaves you hungry for more. "SOS" is 'punchier' while in "Running In Circles" we are dealing with a killer melodic hard rock song filled-in with a more late 80's hard rock sound. "A Letter To You" is a beautiful slower tune with an amazing melody in it that shows the abilities of the band to write great love songs. It's time for LANDFALL to put more 'muscle' in their music and the proof is two more edgy hard rock gems such as "Intoxicated" and "Hourglass".
An overall strong release from these Brazilian hard rock act that contains all the ingredients to rocket them into a higher level in this so competitive scene.
