About Me:
Initially they played only cover versions of international bands. Soon, however, they began to write their own songs and started to perform them live, playing mainly their own songs from then on. In 1985, the first demo tape, with six tracks, was recorded. Once the band started to promote this demo tape, concurrently they started to search for a vocalist with a more aggressive vocal style. Soon they found Kleber, a former member of the band Wagark.
In 1986 they began to record their first (and eventually their only) self-titled album. At that time, shortly before the start of the recording, the new singer left the band and Thyrso Marechal took back the lead vocal duties and provided lead vocals on the album. In the cover art created for the album, the front cover featured the sunset seen from the Parnaíba River amidst the zodiacal table and the back cover showed a silhouette of the band members in gray, reflecting the concept underlying the lyrics: ecology, mysticism and anti-racism.
After recording the album, João Filho took over the vocals and with this new line-up the group toured the North of Brazil, and then went to São Paulo to promote the album. In São Paulo the band did two concerts officially captured on film, and the album received positive reviews from music critics, including a positive review published in a 1986 edition of the traditional Brazilian magazine Rock Brigade. The album features songs with blistering guitar duets and lyrics in Portuguese, and despite the scarcity of technical resources used in the recording of the album, it is currently recognized as one of the forerunners of heavy metal in Brazilian Northeast and one of the oldest heavy metal albums of that country sung in Portuguese, in addition to an amazing musical quality in the context of the style called by the fans, in that decade, of "metal nacional" (English: "national metal").
Also in 1986 the band played again in Festival Setembro Rock, alongside bands such as A Chave do Sol, Megahertz and others. After achieving some recognition singing lyrics in Portuguese, playing long duets of guitar and having influenced the Brazilian heavy metal scene, the band split up unexpectedly in the late 1980s.
Vênus reunited for several isolated performances in the years 1988 and 1989 with a final line-up that included the then unknown guitarist Erisvaldo Borges, who composed a few tracks for the band with influences of classical music, in the vein of the neoclassicism of Yngwie Malmsteen, but these tracks were never recorded. These reunions did not continue for long until the band broke up permanently at the end of 1989.
Currently, Thyrso is a member of the band "Radiofônicos",[4] a rock'n'roll and blues-rock band.
Guitarist Yco Almendra moved to the United States,[9] where he lives with his family to this day. After some time away from music, he went on to compose and record. His first solo album was released in the U.S. in 2005 under the pseudonym Frank Krischman.
Erisvaldo Borges[16] abandoned the use of electric guitars since the late 1990s and became a classical guitarist recognized in national and international scene, releasing eleven instrumental CDs and currently serves as the event manager for the Festival Nacional de Violão do Piauí - Fenavipi[17] which takes place annually, with the performances of classical guitarists from various Brazilian states, as well as abroad.
Thyrso, Yco, and Erisvaldo Borges are still professional musicians. Part of the former band members still live in Teresina, where they have business enterprise.
