Other artists/personalities who have confirmed their participation in the event — which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 1 at Blackmore Rock Bar in São Paulo (SP) — include Mário Pastore (DELPHT, ex-TAILGUNNES, ACID STORM) and Nando Fernandes (HANGAR, CAVALO VAPOR), Fernando Schaefer (ENDRAH, KIKO LOUREIRO, ex-RODOX, TRETA, KORZUS), Vitão Bonesso ("Backstage" radio show) and Nando Lima (MASSACRATION). The concert will also include a special tribute to the band STRESS, whose self-titled debut album — widely considered to be the first heavy metal album to be released in Brazil — came out 25 years ago (in 1982). The entire event will be filmed by the makers of the documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" for their follow-up film, "Global Metal", which will explore the global spread of heavy metal music and culture.
