Brazilian TUATHA DE DANANN ended the year 2022 with the release of their new single and music video, “The Nameless”. the song shows a band that knew how to reconnect with its past, even though it continues to constantly evolve its sound, experiencing one of the creative peaks of the band close to completing 30 years on the road. The music video for “The Nameless” was produced by Raoni Joseph, with footage by Daniel Toli and Simão Domingos.

The external recordings were made at the roundabout in the Minas Gerais town of Ribeirão Vermelho, located in Campo das Vertentes. click here to watch the music video the song anticipates the next Tuatha de Danann album, the band’s eighth full length album, which should be released in the first half of 2023, and which according to vocalist and multiinstrumentalist Bruno Maia, contains elements not so common in the most recent production of the band, but that doesn’t distance them from the genre they pioneered, folk metal.

“it is a more dark, dramatic and emotional song, which evokes some influences that we have used since the beginning of the band”, highlighted Bruno Maia.

The release of “The Nameless” was accompanied by a merchandising kit based on its beautiful cover art, created by Rodrigo Barbieri, now available for sale on the band’s website. “The Nameless” lyrics discuss about social and historical issues, and one of its inspirations is the german philosopher Walter Benjamin and his ‘Theses on the Concept of History’.

Bruno comments “in the lyrics we try to bring the excluded, dominated and defeated to the center and focus of the work. For Benjamin it is only possible to have real justice if there is historical and memory justice. this song, both the voice melodies, settings and letter finds its greatest inspiration in some of these theses.

Transport yourself to a world of magic and adventure with the beautiful melodies and medieval moods of the official soundtrack of “Tales of Shadowland”, conceived by the brilliant and creative mind of BRUNO MAIA.

Known mainly for his work with Brazilian Folk Metal band TUATHA DE DANANN, founded in 1994, Bruno Maia embarked on a new project, which has everything to do with the Celtic and Medieval music, main inspirations of him.

The creative musician was invited by Uzmi Games to compose the score for a revolutionary project, the MMORPG “Tales of Shadowland”, probably the biggest and most ambitious of its kind developed in Brazil.

Composed of 8 songs, the soundtrack was recorded and produced by Bruno Maia, at Braia Studios in Varginha/MG. A multi-instrumentalist, Bruno played keyboards, guitar, viola, bouzouki, double bass, several flutes, banjo, bodhran in addition to singing.

The songs also featured guest appearances by Leandro Caçoilo (Viper, Caravellus) on “Dreyah’, Mannu Saggioro (Soulspell) on “Gohrar'” and “The Calm before the Battle”, and Julie Gonçalves on “The Calm before the Battle”.

In the songs, we hear diverse influences that permeate the musician’s career and fit perfectly into the concept of the game, ranging from Clannad, Steeleye Span and Planxty, through Jethro Tull, Blind Guardian and Blackmore’s Night to Wardruna, Faun and Omnia.

The track ‘Great Battles’ had lyrics written by one of the creators of the game, André Ferreira, in honor of one of his partners in the game who died a victim of COVID-19, a fact that ended up delaying the crowdfunding campaign and consequently the launch of the project.

The soundtrack of “Tales of Shadowland” is available on the digital platforms, and It can be checked and purchased at Band Camp at THIS LOCATION.

To listen on Spotify visit the THIS LINK.

The music contained in the soundtrack has everything to please fans of the musician and his main band, as well as supporters of the Celtic and medieval sounds of groups such as Blackmore’s Night and Blind Guardian.

This partnership between the musician and the game’s developers will certainly bring results for both in the future, as it will arouse the curiosity of admirers of Bruno’s work in the game, as well as MMORPG players will get to know the music of one of the main composers of Brazilian Metal/Folk Metal.

About the game, “Tales of Shadowland” is a Brazilian MMORPG developed by Uzmi Games, a studio founded by director André Ferreira and youtuber Douglas Mesquita. The acronym MMORPG stands for “Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game”. Promising to bring back the golden age of MMORPGs, the game is inspired by the classics of the genre, but with modern graphics, #ToSMMO is an open world medieval adventure. The release date has not yet been announced.

For now, follow information on Uzmi’s official platforms and channels and travel to the worlds of Shadowland through the mystical and magical track composed by Bruno Maia.

Brazilian TUATHA DE DANANN make Metal with influences from Celtic folk music, their biggest inspiration is one of the forerunners of Folk Metal, Skyclad, mainly from the Martin Walkyer’s era, who Tuatha’s founder Bruno Maia considers the best lyricist of the style. 

Martin Walkyer and Tuatha de Danann have been maintaining a strong friendship relationship for some years now, including Walkyer coming to Brazil three times already, sharing the stage with the band in a traditional festival in Varginha (MG), Tuatha’s birthplace. 

And that partnership didn’t stop there, Walkyer recorded and co-wrote two Tuatha de Danann songs, “Rhymes Against Humanity” and “Your Wall Shall Fall”. 

To honor their great influence, the idol who also became a friend and songwriting partner, the band recorded five versions of some of their favorite Skyclad songs. Due to the pandemic, naturally each of the members recorded their parts in their homes, and later the mixing and production was done by Bruno Maia at Braia studios. 

This tribute also gave rise to the possibility of a future European tour of this tribute, with the partnership of Tuatha de Danann and Martin Walkyer. It would be an interesting idea, and one that Walkyer and Skyclad fans would certainly appreciate. 

Check out the tribute videos o below.
