"2021 started with a great addition, with the official entrance to the band PARADISE IN FLAMES!
A super band from BH / MG of extreme metal !!!"
Like many of the great musical references of today, he started in childhood developing his skills in the drums, and in the background some other instruments. He grew up surrounded by various musical influences: On the one hand, his father (the greatest musical example of Samuel's life), who has also been a musician for over 30 years, with references that cover the entire range of “Black Music” (soul, disco, funk , R&B) and on the other side the sisters, who varied between national styles, rock and its strands.
Under these influences he developed his own point of view and music preferences, almost always turned to rock, starting with punk rock and evolving to styles, from hard core, new metal, metal core, a time acting in the new style called “Math metal / djent ”until it reaches his vein of music which is the“ Death Metal ”where he really likes to act in music.
He was awarded in 2007 as the best drummer at a local festival.
He was part of some local bands, but the years from 2013 to 2015 were not active in the metal scene. In the meantime, he did more than 300 concerts with a singer from the country music of Belo Horizonte / MG. In 2016 he launched his new band, "Grinmessor", a bet more would be in the market and in style. Releasing three EP's and two official videos until 2020.
