Origens - Destino (2019)

The third album from this band from Brazil.

The band is a one-man-band where Alessandro Mendonca does percussion, bass, guitars, synths and vocals.

Numerous guests added drums, bass, guitars, mellotron, farfisa, organ, moog, keyboards, bagpipes and vocals. 

To my knowledge, this is his so far latest album. I guess he will release a lot more albums. That is.... if he is still among us.

This album starts out as third rate heavy metal album. Solid turkey terrain, in other words. My heart sinks to the floor everytime I have been listening to this part of the album.

Then the album enters into a pastoral part and changes into a more hard rock album. Hard rock from the 1970s. The hard rock is also pretty much influenced by psych rock too and these two genres merges together at the end of this album.

But this happens after the pretty poor opening minutes. The rest of the album is decent enough.

I am not won over by this album. It is a half-decent album and just that.
