Anima Inside,
Artist
Anima Inside starts in the year 2005, when a group of musicians decided to start a band that brake borders in every field, their inclination for different aspects in the visuals and sounds, took them to create a new vibe of Progressive Rock with the fusion of their different influences and the music of the World.
They started with the production of a demo on 2005 that had the name of "In between", which the single "Father Time" was on the first positions in the local radios and the band was covered in the local magazines. One of companies interested was Fusão VMT Studio located in São Paulo, where people like Tom Jobim, Angra, Shaman, Caetano Velozo, etc. are part of the clients that record in this studio.
The band flew member by member to Brazil, sharing knowledge with some of the best musicians in the rock-metal industry right now.
After a year, Anima Inside finished the production of their first album called Reflection.
