MACABEUS



BAND NAME: Macabeus
GENRE: Death / Unblack Metal
STATUS: Split up
LOCATION: Brazil (Brasília, Distrito Federal)

Formed in 2003.
The idea of the band started 17 July, 2003, at a prayer camp that Khaely and Rafael attended in Entre Rios, Goiás. After returning to Distrito Federal / the Federal District, and Rafael's other band "Ruptura" split up, he and Khaely decided to officially begin a band, recruited R. Lobato, and the band formed from there.

The name is taken from the Deuterocanonical books, 1 and 2 Maccabees ("Macabeus" in Portuguese). These books are considered canonical in Catholicism and Orthodoxy, but not in Protestantism.

Lineup:
Khaely Amaral - Vocals
R. Lobato - Guitars
Alessandro Galo - Bass
Valter "Val" Nunes (Oroshy, Holy Shadow) - Drums

Past members:
Rafael de Oliveira (ex-Ruptura) - Drums

Discography:

In addition to the compilation below, they have also composed (and possibly released?) the following songs:
Apocalipse
Ave Mariae
Cruzes Invertidas
Oração de São Bento
Morte ao diabo
Nuclear War
Vida de Ilusão
Ao Lenho da Cruz (Apocalipse Prophecy cover)
The Word (Eterna cover)

Lyrics to all of these songs (except "Oração de São Bento" and "Nuclear War", for some reason) were available on their old website. However, none of the pages were saved on archive.org, so I can't get the lyrics.



 Heaven's Rock in Concert - Volume 1 (compilation, 2006, Heaven's Music Records)
Format: CD-R

The verse mentioned on the cover art is:
Mc 16:15 / Marcos 16:15 "E disse-lhes: Ide por todo o mundo, e pregai o evangelho a toda criatura."
Mk 16:15 / Mark 16:15 "Then He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

13) Macabeus - The Heaven's Gate
4:09, lyrics:
Lies doesn’t true
The liars will go to hell
The losers are falling
And the winners are welcome

Up the stairs,
We can day by day
Fight to open
The heaven gates

Spiritual war
That is your battle
They call for your name
We are winners again
