Projeto Renfield | en

The Renfield Project was born officially in April of 2002, with the integrants Erik (vocal and keyboards), William (guitar), Louis (contrabass) and Wagson (drums). Each integrant had his own respective bands and projects of different styles, being then the Renfield Project the confluence of these trends.

With the initial intention to play covers of bands as Sisters of Mercy, Nosferätu, The Cure, Christian Death, also other groups and styles, which goes of Lacrimosa to Depeche Mode, the band started to take form proper and to work in your own musical style. Walking for a source more approached to gothic rock, the band invests in a deeper and obscure sonority. Our thematic poetical and musical encloses since the edge of the art to the romantism, of decadentism to the intense humanism. As our individual influences are varied, is impossible to define in few words the nature of our production...

After some shows, they played in the Festival Epidendrum Nocturnum - a Tribute to the Lupercais, where was released the collectanea "Homônima". In this collectanea "Nigh" and "Her Shadow" had been enclosed, their first musics to be launched in CD, and later, "Her Shadow" was enclosed in the collectanea "Equinoxe", Brazil-Germany compilation, released simultaneously in these two countries.

After a period of silence, in 2007 the band comes back to walk in a new formation. Beyond Erik and William that remain, the band was reformulated with Cadu Lobo (contrabass), Gustavo (drums) and Bira (guitar) joining. At the moment, the band works in the creation of his first demo, and shows that always counted on the energy and support of friends, who had never abandoned them.

Of this variety of styles and thematics, the name of the band was born: Renfield is a character of the book "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. This poor man eats insects and other beings living creatures, in an attempt to digest them, to extract the essence and to transform it into "souls for the master". Thus they make: we absorb the essence purest of the art and poetry that in comove our soul, transforming this miscellany of impressions, pains and delights in music. "Souls for the Master". .
