Brazilian progressive power metal band ALMAH — the side project of ANGRA members Edu Falaschi (vocals) and Felipe Andreoli (bass) — has set "Motion" as the title of its third album, tentatively due this fall via AFM Records.

The CD was recorded in May-June 2011 at Norcal Studio in São Paulo, Brazil and was mixed and mastered in July at Split Second Sound Studios in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Jochem Jacobs (TEXTURES). 10 songs were tracked for the effort, which was composed by the entire band and is described in a press release as "really heavy and up-to-date with less influences of typical melodic metal."

Commented Falaschi: "I'm very excited to present our new work soon. We are absolutely dedicated. Each bandmember contributed to the basic parts, arrangements and songwriting. I'm really proud that this album will show the real language and personality of ALMAH! 'Motion' is heavy, modern and up-to-date (maybe, the heaviest stuff I've ever recorded in my life). It's powerful! Full of good energy! The instrumental parts are very solid and heavy. The vocal lines present my natural range and style, heavy and aggressive. It's a kind of album to bang your head non-stop! And I have a feeling that in the end it will be the best CD in my whole discography. At least the one I like the most…"

"The cover has been created by myself with my own iPhone. I took a picture in Paris and used some applications to create that motion effect. Then Felipe [Andreoli, bass] used my picture and re-created this artwork in high resolution using Photoshop and completed it with new elements.

"This time we wanted something modern and direct to represent our music and we are totally sure that we got the result we really wanted since the very beginning. This CD will show the real ALMAH's language and personality!"
