Let’s be real: most one-man bands fade fast. But Janílson Quadros has turned Symphony Towers into something rare: a living, breathing metal saga. From Torres to Bangkok, he carries it alone, yet it never feels small.
The new record, Tales From The Legends Lost In Time, is no ordinary release. It comes straight from tragedy: the floods that tore through Rio Grande do Sul in 2024. You can hear it in every note: anger, grief, resilience. The single Heavy Rain? A punch to the gut wrapped in melody, a tribute to family and to those who rebuild when everything is gone.
But it’s not all darkness. There’s fire and beauty here: hooks that stay with you, flashes of power metal glory, prog twists, and vocals that hit both raw and soulful. Imagine Judas Priest colliding with Angra, but with scars that give the music real weight.
What stood out most to me was the focus. Eight tracks, one vision. Songs like When The Moon Cries and No Footprints In The Sand don’t just sound good; they mean something. Even Soreness Souls lingers like smoke after the amps cool down.
Production by Roger Fingle (yes, the man behind Blood Tears) keeps it sharp and alive: no gimmicks, no fluff, just clarity and power.
And this is only the beginning. More videos are on the way, and a new album is already planned for late 2025. If Janílson keeps this path, we’re not just watching another project: we’re seeing the rise of a modern metal storyteller.
So if you want heavy music with heart, if you want metal that carries memory and not just volume… press play.
