THE BEAST

On The Loose - Midnight - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2022/12/06/on-the-loose-on-the-loose/

    When it comes to doom metal, the more epic side of the genre is often a hundred times more palatable than those doom records which drag like a paralysed seals arse. Thankfully, epic doom metal is rising in popularity once more and this year has On the Loose (OtL) delivering their self-titled debut album.

                To say that OtL have delivered the goods with this debut album is an understatement. ‘On the Loose’ is a megaton leviathan of epic doom that hits the nail on the head with every downstroke. Yes, ok, there really isn’t anything here that hasn’t been done before and it sounds exactly what the listener expects it to as slow, grooving riffs stomp forward driven on by a good rhythm section allowed to shine through a decent production. This means that ‘On the Loose’ moves with all power of Candlemass, Crypt Sermon and Pentagram as well as expanding in the territories that will have Sorcerer fans giddy with excitement as tracks such ‘Midnight’, ‘Path’ and ‘Deceiver’ are thoroughly enjoyable. However, the real plaudits here go to vocalist Flávio Lino whose power vocals echoes that of Bruce Dickinson and goes a long way to answer the question of what Bruce Dickinson would sound like would had he fronted Candlemass instead of Iron Maiden.

                As a debut album, this is a good, solid release of epic doom by this Portuguese band. Yeah ok, there’s some nooks and crannies to clean out and tidy up, but all in all, ‘On the Loose’ is definitely worth out a shout if this genre is in your wheelhouse because OtL really do not disappoint. - Metal Digest

Release Date: March 20th, 2022

FFO: Candlemass, Sorcerer, Crypt Sermon

With the pandemic no music was allowed on stages so after some personal decisions I had time to do MY album.

I also play in 3 bands: Extreme Unction, Els Focs Negres and Perpetrator, also played with heavy metal maniacs SABATAN and satanic speed metalers OMISSION from Spain did the solos for 3 DECAYED albums and was a live session guitar player for FILII NIGRANTIUM INFERNALIUM.

 I wanted to do an instrumental album with an orchestra, all the music that you will listen was supposed to be instrumental, but after some months waiting for the orchestrations, from 3 different guys I decided to ask my friend Lino who also sings in a tribute Iron Maiden band Iron Beast and also with the UK based band AIRFORCE to sing in the album.

The album will be released on March 20, 2022, the next equinox with or without a label. Because I want that date and that´s it, this is a one-man project but if there is help from the public this might be a live band. I invited João Ventura from THE LIMIT / Dawnrider to play the drums and asked my friend Rick Thor to write some wonderful lyrics, all the artwork photos taken by me.

Musically expect a mix of Candlemass and Iron Maiden , about the lyrics, are all small little stories each has a concept that leads to a deadly sin. The album has 7 songs 7 deadly sins 

Vocals: Flávio Lino
Drums: João Pedro Ventura
Guitars/Bass: Marco Marouco
