Bio:
Power metal with the weight of Egyptian culture and mythology is the winning formula for Brazilian power metal band MEDJAY. Named after the Nubian nomads who were often hired as caravan drivers or mercenaries for ancient Egypt, band founder Samuka has a particular affinity for the history of the region and intends to use it as a fertile structure in which to build a power metal band. He and drummer on the album Tiago Vitek toured across Latin America with Christian power metal band DYNASTY before deciding to pursue their own project in early 2019. They soon recruited Freddy Daniels on guitar, known for his collaboration with both BRAVE and HELLTOWN. Singer and guitarist Phil Lima, however, was discovered on YouTube by Samuka when he uploaded covers of WHITESNAKE’s “Still of the Night” and IRON MAIDEN’S “Fear of the Dark” and promptly asked him to join.The band quickly got to work on their first single “Death In the House of Horus” and caught the attention of ANGRA’s Rafael Bittencourt, soon becoming something of a mentor to the band. Samuka and Lima spent many months developing ideas and finally recorded the album in November and December of 2019 at Ninrod and Dharma studios. Complications from Covid resulted in delays but eventually the album was mixed and mastered at Engenho Studio and released on November 21st of 2020. Vitek, unfortunately decided to leave the band shortly after recording the album and internationally renowned drummer of AGE OF ARTEMIS and DINNARMARQUE, Riccard Linassi joined the band. Their debut album SANDSTORM is power metal that will appeal to ORPHANED LAND as well as IRON MAIDEN fans that adds in some Arab and other eastern musicality as well.The name Medjay was taken from Ancient Egypt’s history. They were warriors that inhabited the regions of northern Sudan and Southern Egypt, and ended up becoming an elite paramilitary force and the Pharaoh’s royal guard. The name Medjay may also be comprehended as a spirit of bravery and fight that is present in whole human story, for wherever you find warrior people, the Medjay spirit lies present.
