After innumerable by trial and errors with several other bands, the songwriter Marcio Tex makes up one's mind to do yourself project called EYEZOFIRE. It's a project-piece melodic rock from Rio de Janeiro, originally formed in 2001, the brainchild of Mrcio Tex. The best Marcio Tex ever, he's just released his entitled "The Lost And Found Demos 1995 - 2001", bringing some of his own songs recorded with such bands as Riogang and Strong Winds.
A far cry from his first audio offering, those into classy AOR/Melodic Rock in the vein of the best Tyketto, Danger Danger, Journey, Rainbow, Malmsteen, Purple are sure to enjoy the band. His sound is built on choruses so big, you can see it coming from the last verse of the previous song, and hooks so sharp, neuro-surgery is the only recommended way to get it off your mind. TEX's delivery is so compassionate and heartfelt, and make it sounds like he was suffering from heartbreak instead of heartburn. Cuts like "Playing With Fire", "Don't Give Up" and "Too Hard To Hear You Say Goodbye" are examples of EYEZOFIRE's gift of keeping it hard while never losing the flow.
In 2003, Marcio's recorded a classic Journey song "Forever In Blue" for the Frontline Rock Records to a tribute album featuring another mainstream artists, but it's never released.
Now, he plans to record a full album in 2009, to play in several shows and to promote his music getting airplay in both Brazilian and overseas radio shows.
Marcio Tex wants to show that's possible to make clichés music and still sound real.
Melodic Rock above all.
Relax and heat up the fire...

THE DEMO ALBUM
"The Lost And Found Demos 1995 - 2001" demo CD-R is the first EYEZOFIRE totally non-profit material and it's the follow up to the intense persistence in hard way into melodic rock. The album have a long time to complete as I've been writing songs for "The Lost And Found Demos" during a two year period to make sure that I had some the best songs possible available for this first demo album.
"The Lost And Found Demos 1995 - 2001" was record at the Up-Town Studios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1995... (band STRONG WINDS), and J. C. Digital Studio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during its ups and downs in 2000/2001/2002 and the entire recording took about ten months to complete. The demo album features a mixture of tracks and rough mix with a lot surprises on the first listen. The basic formula is one that contains a blend of melodic hard rock and AOR with an 80's vibe to it.
Opener "Rio by Night" is an up tempo rocker that has an inspiring harmonica in the middle of it somewhere, reminding of Kix. This is followed by the mid-tempo hard rock meets AOR of "Too Hard To Hear You Say Goodbye" . The best moments are "Playing With Fire" and a Nazareth tune "Love Hurts".
Hope you enjoy it!!
