In a constantly evolving musical world, some artists leave an indelible mark with their unique sound. Nóis’Y Vendel, born Valbert Wendel de Freitas Barros, is one of these artists. The musician has just released his second album “Thorns and Thistles”, which brings a visionary mix of genres in the world of music.
Combining elements such as dirty fuzz bass, synthesizers, male and female choirs (which remind us of Gregorian chant), zabumba and steel triangle (typical instruments from the Brazilian northeast), fiddle and ghostly ambient sounds, all guided by a soft vocalization, but intense, the combination of Brazilian northeastern rhythms with alternative rock and metal is almost mesmerizing. This completely innovative mix of genres breaks concepts and challenges standards. As a producer at a German record label said: “I’ve rarely heard anything similar to your music before.”
