Kremate

Kremate started on April, 1998, at Sao Paulo, Brazil, when Rodrigo Schmidt and Myke Ramos decided to form a Thrash Metal band. During 2 years Kremate had many different lines-up but Myke and Rodrigo composed some songs in the course of that time.The several changing of musicians turned impossible for the band to play on shows during that years but, on March, 2000, a bassist and a guitarist got together with them and, just one month later, the group was ready to their first show. So, Kremate established its line-up with Rodrigo Schmidt (guitar/vocals), Ricardo Fernandes (guitar), Felipe Parmegiani (bass) and Myke Ramos (drums), and played in many clubs of their hometown.On December of that same year, they recorded a five-song “demo”, called “Eternal War”, and spread it as much as they could. “Eternal War” got a good reception by metal magazines, zines and thrashers, and the band played in too many places to promote it.Between March and December, 2002, Kremate recorded 11 songs to its first album which title was “Watch the End”. The group released their debut by themselves, but the lack of money just let them press 120 CDs. After this, Watch the End was released as a tape version, by the japanese label Sabbathid Recs.In the beginning of 2003, a Brazilian metal magazine called Valhalla chose 15 bands, among all the bands they reviewed on a “demo section” of their pages, to record a compilation CD. Kremate was one of the chosen bands and recorded a song called “Face your Life”. The compilation received the title “Valhalla Demo Section” and was released on January, 2004, by Seventies Fever Records.On January, 2005, Force Majeure Records released Kremate..s first album but with new graphic arts and changing the title “Watch the End” to “Death: In the name of…”.On April, 2005, the band recorded “Aftershock” to be part of the Brazilian Tribute to Anthrax. The tribute was released on may, 2007, by Collision Recs. Kremate’s version to this song, as well as all the songs of this Tribute, can be found and downloaded at: www.anthrax.com.br or www.myspace.com/indiansnot .On June, 2005, two songs from “Death: In the name of…” were included in “Warriors of Dark Sun”, a compilation released by Dark Sun Records as a limited edition (500 LPs).In the beggining of 2008, Myke and Ricardo left Kremate, and the brothers Reginaldo Mota (guitar) and Rodrigo Mota (drums) joined the band.Nowadays Kremate is doing some live concerts and composing more songs to be used on future releases.
