ANIMA DOMINUM
Symphonic Prog • Brazil
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Anima Dominum biography
Anima Dominum are a rather eclectic Brazilian band with no strong obvious influences, which makes sense since the band's members claim their formation was borne out of a desire to express themselves musically without the restriction of any particular genre or style. The band's keyboards bear a mild resemblance to earlier ELP, but the heavy Latin accent in their guitar and especially percussion give them a sound all their own.
The band formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1991, and despite numerous personnel shifts and short periods of inactivity, are still an active band today. The band returned to the studio in the fall of 2006 to record their fourth release.
The band's music can best be described as slightly gregarious, keyboard intensive with an electric rhythmic guitar that manages to project a Spanish inflection that makes for a unique and interesting sound next to the other, more traditional rock guitar and bass. The band's studio work is marred slightly by low-resolution mixes (probably 16-track), but the energy demonstrated clearly suggest the band is a pleasure to witness in a live setting.
Anima Dominum continue to tour and appear in trade magazines and on radio today, having restored many members from the original lineup
Anima Dominum deserve a place in the Archives for their clearly creative and progressive use of keyboards, complex and multicultural compositions, and expansive instrumental passages in their infrequent but well-scored extended tracks.

The Book of Comedy
Anima Dominum Symphonic Prog
This is a first rate recording to be added to the usual Brazilian suspects : Quaterna
Requiem, Tempus Fugit and Aether. The entire disc is chock full of highly interesting
compositions, well balanced and loaded with atmospherics, stylistic twirls and zesty leads
from (brothers?) Ze Lima on guitar and Ricardo Lima on keys. The true obvious "genius" is
bassist Claudio Cepeda who lays down some neat rythms throughout , very much in the
Squire Rickenbacker mode with lots of trebly tones and deft fingerwork. I always go
through at least once all prog albums listening uniquely to the bass guitar , generally a very
good barometer of overall quality.Tracks 3 and 4 provide the epic extended pieces where
each musician has the stage to express their craft but the real killer track is the aptly
named "Leviathan" a monster piece that has CLASSIC written all over it. Perhaps the album
is a little clinical for some of the more experimental prog fans out there but prog played
with such gusto and finesse dissipates any negative sub-impressions , as this is quite
original , typical of the "looser" Brazilian attitude towards music where technique is always
relegated by emotion (just like with soccer, of course!). This album comes strongly recommended for symph prog fans. 4 laughing pages
