The first two singles immediately caught the public's attention for their versatility and undeniable quality of composition, which became a topic in international media, gaining special prominence after the band's participation in Shaman Fest Online, opening doors for a cappella music in countries in Latin America, North America, Europe, and getting the band featured on the Japanese radio station ZIP-FM.
Besides the quality of the songs, what stands out is the fact that the band was formed in Portugal entirely by Brazilian musicians, who by chance came together in Portuguese lands amidst the pandemic to form Capella. The band members are already well-known figures in the Brazilian heavy metal scene, including the experienced André “Zaza” Hernandes (guitarist, ex- Andre Matos , Angra ), Jota Fortinho (vocalist, Signum Regis , ex- Before Eden , ex- Fortress ), Pablo Romeu (fusion lead guitarist), Gabriel Carvalho (bassist, Terra Prima ) and Fernando Castagna (drummer, ex- Scenes From a Dream , a Dream Theater from São Paulo).
The EP, which had been planned for 2020, had its recording and release postponed due to the lockdown situation in the country, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Regarding the recording of the EP, the band's vocalist, Jota Fortinho, highlighted: "It has been an incredible experience, the songs are exceeding our expectations, we are eager to show what we've been up to here."
