The band has never hidden its admiration for Iron Maiden, and since the beginning of their career, the British band has always been a great source of inspiration for the musicians. Despite the presence of several songs by their idols in their shows – VIPER knew how to play all of Iron Maiden's songs up to the Powerslave – this is the only recording of a studio version.
The VIPER lineup that recorded “Prowler” predates the one that went into the studio for the All My Life . In 2005, vocalist Ricardo Bocci had not yet joined the band – hence the vocals are by Pit Passarell , the vocalist at the time. Drummer Guilherme Martin , who recorded “Prowler,” was also replaced by Renato Graccia on All My Life , and only returned to the band in 2012. This demo was recorded at his studio, Guillas Studio, and produced by Val Santos , who also had not yet joined VIPER. The guitars on “Prowler” were recorded by Felipe Machado and Yves Passarell, who now plays in Capital Inicial.
Released for the first time on digital platforms, All My Life features songs such as “Come On Come On”, “Miles Away”, “Love is All”, featuring Andre Matos, and one of VIPER's most beautiful ballads, “Violet”, among others. In addition to “Prowler”, the album also includes other bonus tracks recorded during the demos that gave rise to the album.
All My Life features the so-called "V3," the third classic lineup of VIPER, which included Ricardo Bocci (vocals), Pit Passarell (bass and vocals), Felipe Machado and Val Santos (guitars), and Renato Graccia (drums). The album was produced by André Cortada and Marcos Yukio , with co-production by Theo Vieira . The new version, which will also be released on CD, was remixed by Cortada and Val Santos. The remastering was done by Cortada, and the single cover art is by João Duarte. A Wikimetal / FMLabs release.
