Biography

Back in 1991, Rogério Segall and Ricardo Segall decided to come up with a band that would allow them to show their entire musical potential. Many waters have passed down the bridge when Rogério found out that Andréa Palmieri could be more than just a friend, but the singer of the brand new band to be born. And that was the initial front line of SCARS SOULS, initially called SKARS.

At the beginning the band sounded heavy and raw and also pretty much like the sound listened in the 90s. A bit of heavy vibes and some psychedelic feel. After the release of their first demo tape entitled MAKING CONTACT, the band finally met their main drummer, Adilson Junior, and for a long time the line up was: Andréa Palmieri vocals, Rogério Segall guitars, Ricardo Segall bass and Adilson Junior Drums.

The years went by and the band became stronger. Always counting on fans to spread the name in their homeland, SCARS SOULS released their first debut independently, as well as was invited to figure on several compilations back then. The first album simply called SCARS SOULS, was a mix of all the songs written since the begging. Even though gathering a lot of ideas the album got very much in touch with the public.

The second album entitled TROIA (TROY), was released in 1998 and the band mature ness could be felt through solid compositions as TROIA was a very acclaimed by public and critic. Yet, the band released the album independently not willing to let time go by waiting for a label.

During all the years of existence, SCARS SOULS spread their music struggling against adversities sending their material to several countries and fans. Back when it was time to release their 3rd album, as soon as compositions started the lead bassist Ricardo Segall leaves the band for personal reasons and the search for a new member began. Ricardo Piccoli filled in the emptiness left by Segall and as a great friend and excellent professional quickly got together Those were difficult years for the band since family loss and personal matters came in the way for quite a while.

Now, completely renewed and ready for a fresh start the back is back and ready like never before! A new frontline is needed again since Ricardo Piccoli, bass player and producer of HIGHBREED, the new album released in 2006, got married and moved to another city. SCARS SOULS is now complete with ANDRÉA PALMIERI, ROGÉRIO SEGALL, REY ARAUJO and ADILSON JR.

The evolved sound heard on HIGHBREED, the 3rd album, granted the band a contract with MASQUE RECORDS. SCARS SOULS was taken as a wonderful discovery among several bands looking for labels. Right now the band counts on spreading the word once again aiming higher grounds and looking for gigs all around the world.
