about
Croskill is a Brazilian heavy metal band formed in 1989 and was active until 1998.
During the years of activity the band recorded two songs on the compilation Whiplash
Attack Vol. 1 and an album entitled Escape into Fantasies, considered the first heavy
metal concept album in Brazil, released on vinyl in 1991 by the Rock Brigade Records
label.
Croskill's music during this period reveals striking nuances and rhythmic variations,
showing the musical and timeless quality of his work. Bringing influences ranging from
80's heavy metal to 70's progressive rock. Easily identifiable, its sound immediately
takes us to the contemporaneity of these musical styles.
In 2013, the band got together for a single performance at the renowned Festival
DoSol in Natal, in the Northeast of Brazil. This show ended up making the founding
members Eri Soares (bass) and Jucian Lima (vocals and drums) feel the impetus to
return to activities that ended early.
After a few years, more specifically in 2021, during the period of the covid pandemic,
the two teamed up again and started composing new songs. This work brings a more
avant-garde approach than the music practiced previously, thus presenting a natural
maturation in his work, already rich in details and with very elaborate lyrics, a
characteristic that is also remarkable in his work.
Currently Croskill has Jucian Lima (vocals and drums), Eri Soares (bass), Karim Serri
(guitar) and Denilton Falcão (guitar), and is preparing to release new material in 2023,
songs with a current footprint , mixing new trends like psychedelic space rock and
stoner rock to their progressive metal.
Check out Croskill's unique and original work and stay tuned for new releases coming
soon and see Croskill at the forefront of Brazilian metal.
lyrics
DIVISORY ILLUSIONS
It seems strange to me
That all my memories
Are always dense and calm
Showing off by silent visions
Without the need for a world
Where they oscillate between
The deep and the intense
Pushing me to bend to your reasons
A strange and confusing quest
I don’t want to call - Silent Visions
Like shadows from the past
I’m in fight with all these silent visions
The peace of such moments
Brings me more sadness than hope
Causing a useless succession
Of imaginary feelings
Dividing time into my mind
The most unreachable of all the points
Existence between the real and me
The dream and the sky
A strange and confusing quest
I don’t want to call - Silent Visions
Like shadows from my past
I’m in fight with all these silent visions
Now as a simple beholder, I look the past
The most real facts have consumed me
As a merchant I will learn to discern situations
As a predator I will learn to define the needs
Helpless as child without parents
Unfortunate as parents without sons
I will live within a terrible emptiness
Primal and superficial
I think I’m lost
A strange and confusing quest
I don’t want to call - Silent Visions
Like shadows from my past
I’m in fight with all these silent visions
