When you listen for the first time their promo CD, this band really impressed me with an agressiveness and speed worthy of the most classic Brazilian bands, which really shocks. This band will be a success and their new CD with Hammerheart recs. will be a blast. Enjoy this interview with their guitarist Ronaldo and welcome to hell of REBAELLIUN.

Tell us, about of your new production,"Burn The Promised Land" give us more details?
About this album, I must say you we worked out very hard to do a really fast and brutal stuff full of fury, wrath and revolt, and I believe we reached all of our intents on that one. In "Burn The Promised Land" we looked for a personal and powerful sounding, so we expended many time working with the mixing and mastering to reach that sounding we wanted. Finally it's released and you won't believe how killer it is!!
Your new CD follow the "At War" style or it will change the musical line or line up?
The conceptions are almost the same, extreme and chaotic, but much more developed and faster than before for sure. I think it happened cause we're always trying to improve our music and pushing ourselves at our limits, so the new album follows the
same roots of the previous ones but with much more quality, speed and fury as well.
When you talk about that you decide sell all to travel to Europe, you had the confidence that you would have a very good response in your concerts and to take a deal with Hammerheart or you went only to Europe Knows you and wait what would happen?
We decided to go to Europe cause we hadn't any support from anybody in our country, so it was the only way to show our music to people and keep the band going on...When we arrived overthere we didn't know anybody, we just had few addresses and telephone
numbers...so we had to show people the strength of our music and how we were fighting to take a place among the most important bands of the Death Metal scene. A
lot of things happened and we traveled thru some countries playing and blowing away every one on the stage until we met the guys from Hammerheart. At the end we signed a deal with them.

Nicky Neyah is a person that I knew through the -emails that I receive promotioning many bands, it's true that she was who support you so much in your European Gigs?
Yeah, that's true. She gave us a lot of support when we arrived in Europe and we stayed almost 1 month living at her house...we're glad to her, she is a nice
person.
Where European metalmaniacs impact you most?
That's a hard thing to answer ´cause we had very wild responses from the crowd in almost all the gigs we did, but as we played mostly in Belgium I think the most brutal and unforgettable were some gigs we played
at an underground pub named "Frontline" in a city called Gent (hail Cristine and Alain!). Nevertheless the gigs with Deicide and Rotting Christ were amazing too.
Some people compare Rebaelliun and Krisiun, but I consider that the differences are big, what do you think about?
I think Krisiun has their style and we have ours. But, I guess it's normal people think like that ´cause we're from the same country and we're playing the same kind of music (extreme and fast Death Metal). Those guys are fucking great people and we know them since their very first demo-tape was released ´cause at that time we lived in the same city... so, we're friends from a long time and it's really a honor to be compared with them (Hail, brothers!).
There are a new wave of the extreme Brazilian scene and the European public now look for a primitive and direct sound, why do you think that this happen?
I think it's happening ´cause there isn't more time to play a kind of music without fury, strength, honesty and the most important: revolt! This chaotic world calls for that. That way it is! People feel this need for revolt and rebellion and we're giving it to them...we live under this banner since a long time always fighting against the fallacy and learning how
to survive into an unmercyful reality, now the world is changing and everyone must to do his choice.

When nowadays, it ask to the groups which are their influences they only talk about the classics bands but they forget to mention the new bans when the influences are obvious, what do you think about? and which bands influence the Rebaelliun Sound?
I don't know about the other bands but, for us our influences are those bands we grew up listening to and admiring for their attitude and music. In REBAELLIUN those bands are: Slayer and Morbid Angel mainly. They are our strongest influences for sure! Of course we've listened to Brazilian bands like Sarcofago and Sepultura as well. Nowadays there are many other very good bands we like as Vader, Centurian, Pandemia, etc, but we cannot say they're our influences.
Your new CD will appear only in CD or will appear some vinyl copies?
"Burn The Promised Land" is being released on CD format and also in vynil, European fans still buy this kind of stuff.
When you will have your own website to know more about of your projects and merchandise?
We're working out for it comes soon, but it
expends some money and time to make a really good website just as we want. Nevertheless, we hope to finish our official website very soon!
Do you think come back to Europe one more time to promote your new CD.
Yes, for sure!! We intend to tour Europe very
soon to promote our last release and we're doing as much as possible to get it. Our recording company is arranging all the things and booking many dates all over Europe and probably it'll be happening between
January/February '2000 . Just await us!!
How is the answer of the Brazilian death metal fan to the concerts of Rebaelliun.
At this moment we did a few concerts overhere ,but we feel that Brazilian Metalheads are very interested in our music ´cause in these few gigs we played, people showed to us a lot of admiration and
respect.
Thanks Ronaldo for your answers and any last words you'd like to add.
I'd like to say to Metalmaniacs all over the
world: - Prepare themselves! A warmachine called REBAELLIUN is coming to unleash their storm again and spread their fury burning this damned land!

.........Total Brazilian Death Metal rules.................Este promo cd de dos canciones y solo siete minutos de duración es una total massacre, estos Brasileños tienen toda la herencia de su brutal y clasica escena. Con un sonido ultrapesado, grandes velocidades, agresivos solos de guitarra y una voz contudente y gutural demuestran lo que son capaces de lograr, toda una obra de la que sera muy proximamente una de las grandes bandas de la escena mundial...solo esperamos con ansia conocer su cd debut "Burn the Promised Land" " planeado para Noviembre..... yo diria que ha nacido la bestia que acompañara a Krisium en el reconquista del trono que una vez ocupo la escena Brasileña con el legendario Sarcofago. en su reinado de destrucción y death........metal.......
