VIPER fans already know that every Tuesday is VIPER Tuesdays !
Shortly after we passed the date marking 29 years since Freddie Mercury's , VIPER brings you the legendary "We Will Rock You" from the Maniacs in Japan .
Queen 's anthem was originally released as the opening track on News of the World , but it was based on the English band's live version that VIPER created a cover with even more fury, energy, and excitement!
It's an accurate record of the moment when the band was at its peak, showcasing incredible talent and charisma, without overdubs, without retouching, without studio tricks—a real band.
VIPER's live show in Japan, one of the most legendary in the history of Brazilian metal, was now available on digital platforms and in a brand new physical format .
Now, fans can finally see footage from this iconic show featuring Pit Passarell (bass and vocals), Felipe Machado (guitar), Yves Passarell (guitar), and Renato Graccia (drums) rocking out in Japan.
The show was recorded on June 18, 1993 in Tokyo during the closing of the Maniacs on Tour 92-93 , which passed through Europe, Japan and South America and promoted the album Evolution and the EP Vipera Sapiens , both available in physical format. Click here to secure your copies!
