Profile Information

I am the following; a: Band

Style of Prog: Progressive Metal

Biography: Formed in 2004 as “session musicians” at the expense of a solo Portuguese “artist”, FramePictures came to the idea of using the opportunity to start up a new band, in the likes of “Planet X vs. Tool”.
The band took off following diverse directions musically, with various moods and style choices from song to song, which obviously pointed to having fewer songs but longer and meshed up pieces instead. With the main structural backbone or “frame” figured out, then the band tried out with old progressive-rock references from the late '70's and '80's to add tiny bits of flavoring musical expertise, hence the “pictures”.
FramePictures entered the studio in 2009 with sound engineer and co-producer Ivo Magalhães and made the “Remember It” album.

Influences or Favorite Bands: Porcupine Tree, Planet X, Meshuggah, Radiohead, Opeth, Tool, System Of A Down, Deftones, Yes, The Police, Rush, Hiromi, Riverside, Depeche Mode, Steve Vai, Motorhead, Pink Floyd, Derek Sherinian, Pantera, Queen, Rage Against The Machine, John Zorn, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Black Sabbath, Muse, Neal Morse, Deep Purple, Mike Patton, Led Zeppelin, Primus, Rick Wakeman, Nine Inch Nails, Incubus.

More info;: FramePictures' "Remember It" is a seven song album that expresses musically the plunge into the deepness of the subconscious human mind. The conceptual 78 minutes long album is FramePictures' display of this point of view through a series of complex arrangements and long "virtuoso" guitar and keyboard solos, mixed with the simplicity and a-kind-of straight forward approach to songwriting, adding to it the odd time signatures and tempo changes that are trademarks of progressive-rock. "Remember It" is a re-interpretation of the progressive-rock genre, more than a re-invention, bringing to the 21st century the same non-conformism and artistic breakthrough expression that was so fresh with visionaire musicians like Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, Thom Yorke and Steven Wilson.
Varying from the most aggressive post-metal guitar riffs to the intimate warmth of the grand piano, "Remember It" is stretching from left to right of the rock repertoire, including the 25 minutes conceptual seven-part epic song "My Will to Live".

Additional info - Banners etc;: "Remember It" was recorded at IM Studios, Matosinhos, Portugal and was produced by Artur Jorge, co-produced, engineered and mixed by Ivo Magalhães and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Symphony X) at Fascination Street Studios, Orebro, Sweden.
