Caravellus is a Brazilian power / progressive metal formed in Recife in 2002.[1]
Following the release of their debut album, Paula Araújo, Pedro Lima and Charles Erlan left the band due to musical differences.[2]
In 2010, the band released their second album Knowledge Machine in Brazil, North America, Europe, South Korea and Japan.[3]
In 2018, guitarist and producer Glauber Oliveira commenced work on a new album and John Macaluso (Ark, Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Romeo) was invited to record the drums. The band also announced a new line-up with Leandro Caçoilo (vocals), Maurílio Vizin (bass) and Rafael Ferreira (drums), the latter a former bandmate of Oliveira in Dark Avenger.[4]
In 2022, the album, titled Inter Mundos, was released. It tells a love story that takes place in an unnamed village located somewhere in Northwestern Brazil e that covers topics such as class conflict, corruption, religious prejudice, and life & death (the latter personified in the style of Ariano Suassuna[5]).[6][7] The album featured Daísa Munhoz (Twilight Aura, Vandroya), Derek Sherinian (Sons of Apollo, ex-Dream Theater, Black Country Communion), Macaluso, Felipe Andreoli (Angra), Hugo Mariutti (Shaman, ex-Angra), Daniela Serafim (Invisible Control) and Elba Ramalho.[5] It was originally scheduled for release in the first half of 2021,[8] but it was pushed back to April 2022.[5][6] The cover was drawn by hand and inspired by Suassuna's História d'O Rei Degolado nas caatingas do sertão: ao sol da Onça Caetana.[6]
