Biography

HellArise is a Brazilian all female band that play 100% pure Heavy Metal. Trying to add to their songs a little bit of the members’ influences (especially Heavy, Thrash and Death Metal), the band comes up with an aggressive way of playing and composing.

HellArise´s first rehearsal was in May 9th, 2009. The bands was founded when Renata Petrelli (guitars) left the band Hellgard and started, for the last time, looking for girls to an entire new heavy metal Band.

The first girl called to join the new group was her chords partner in Hellgard, Fernanda Lira (bass and screams), who accepted immediately. After that, through mutual friends, Renata met Mirella Max who, ever since, takes care of drumsticks with precision.

Flávia Morniëtári, partner at Mackenzie University and Heavy Metal concerts, was asked to be the lead vocals in the band (because of her versatile voice), who accepted to try it after a first rehearsal.

The second guitarist, Bianca, was found through the internet, but joined the band only for about three rehearsals. After a month and two tests, Laís Salomão was invited to be the 5th element in the band.

During the second semester of 2009, Hellarise girls played some gigs, the first one already with an own composition, named "My Outrage". After 4 gigs, the girls decided to focus on own songs to a coming Demo.

In January 2010, Hellarise was forced to displace Laís Salomão, claiming her several activities (such as studying, sports, etc) and short time to focus on the band. After 4 months without a guitarist and a concert with their friend Marcos Rava (to raise money for their Demo), the girls decided to make some tests in order to finally find a new guitarist.

After some tests, Marilia Simões was invited to join the group by the end of June.
Their Demo was recorded during April and May with their friend, musician and band producer Eduardo Murai, and was released in the beginning of July, already with Marilia on the new line-up.

The EP was sent for some bands in Europe and the Myspace was released at the same time, in August.

In February, Patrícia Schlithler was called up to assume the position of bassist in the band.

At the moment, the girls are in preproduction phase of their debut album and playing some gigs, already playing some new songs and promoting the Demo released in 2010.
