FACING FEAR

Debut album from 2019 by Brazilian Heavy Metal band FACING FEAR and one of the most notable releases to emerge from South America's traditional Metal revival in recent years. Originally released by Roadie Metal & Music and later issued on CD by Classic Metal Records, "Ana Jansen" followed the EP "Lutaremos pelo Metal" and marked the definitive breakthrough of a band deeply rooted in the traditions of the NWOBHM and classic 1980s Heavy Metal. With a running time exceeding fifty minutes, the album showcases impressive songwriting maturity and a genuine passion for traditional Metal.

Musically, FACING FEAR delivers a melodic and energetic brand of Heavy Metal that blends the epic spirit of the NWOBHM with a modern and distinctive approach. Strong guitar harmonies, memorable choruses and the powerful performance of Terry Painkiller stand among the album's greatest strengths, helping it avoid the pitfalls of mere nostalgia. Named after the legendary Dutch historical figure Anna Jansz, the album also incorporates an intriguing conceptual dimension, further reinforcing its identity and helping establish FACING FEAR as one of the most promising contemporary Heavy Metal acts from Brazil.
