When a band is formed, things usually go with the flow naturally, as the time goes by. However, having an objective, a previous
planning is something that can help effectively. This is the case of Vougan, band which had its base formed in July, 2005 by
former members of Dark Avenger, Acácio Carvalho, G Zus e Hugo Santiago. The line-up was fulfilled in September the same
year and set up with Acácio Carvalho (drums), G Zus (bass), Hugo Santiago (guitars), Rafael Galvão (keyboards, ex-Dark
Avenger) and Carlos Zema (vocals, Coldera, Izrafel, Outworld, DSG-David Shankle Group, Heaven''s Guardian).
About the music, the musicians set as a main goal to work towards the highest versatility, without setting limits in the creative
process. Thus, the search for a unique sound was determining. In search of a free style away from the labels Metal owns, the
band attempted to add Heavy Metal, Melodic Metal, Brazilian Music, Classical Music, Power Metal, Progressive Rock and even
Thrash Metal elements to their music. Though, the most important thing in this process was the freedom of writing
spontaneously, without any worry about trends.
After the rehearsal time, the band has recorded the song "Silent Souls" for the release of their official web site. During this time,
Rafael Galvão ended up being replaced by the keyboardist Felipe K.. Then, Vougan have decided to record the other songs and
the result was the single "Silent Souls", released in 2006 and produced by Gustavo Vazquez.
Even containing only 5 tracks, this EP got the best reviews from the especialized press worldwide, becoming the highlight of
several magazines and webzines in 2006 and 2007.
When they started touring, Vougan has settled down and played gigs which provided them more consistency, being the opening
act for the Dutch band After Forever, on October 11th 2006, in Brasília (BR) the highlight of the tour.
At the end of 2007 the band released their first album, called "Mind Exceeding". This album has written a new page on brazilian
heavy metal history, getting excellent reviews and reaching horizons that just a few of the brazilian heavy metal bands had
gotten till then. The album was also released in Japan by "Soundholic" on July 23rd 2008 and is now available through CD Baby as a digital download.
