With a bold stance, Devaneio launches his debut album with a conceptual theme. The album of the same name brings in its
seven tracks reflections on the manifestation of spirituality in religions, in the individual and in the universe. The
complex theme of the work, anticipated by the singles “Entre a Espada e a Cruz” and “Miragem”, combines musical
inspirations that move through psychedelic and progressive rock, in addition to the strong presence of Brazilian guitar
and regional rhythms.
“Because it is a conceptual disc, the album presents a complex web of concepts, reflections and quotes within it. First,
the choice of number 7, present in the seven songs that make up the work. This being a number that represents the days
of the creation of the universe and the idea of spirituality and fullness in numerology. Interestingly, this album also
took 7 years to complete, from the composition of the first song in 2013, to its completion and recording in 2020. ”,
recalls Leo Correa, vocalist and guitarist of Devaneio.Devaneio - Crédito Dan Sant'Anna
The expression of spirituality is the main idea of the album “Devaneio”, which absorbs the mythological and religious
narratives told throughout the history of mankind. From Greek Mythology to Christianity, also passing through Judaism,
Buddhism and Hinduism. All visions are valuable and necessary for understanding who we are, what we do here and where we
are going.
“The songs approach since the creation of the universe, from the Theogony of Hesiod - a poetic and mythological
narrative from Ancient Greece; the creation of Gods and humanity, as well as the creation of religions and gods from
human desires and misunderstandings; the materialization of the sacred and the creation of chaos, citing the biblical
episode of the Golden Calf; the emergence of sin, as an instrument of power and control; the destruction of temples and
sacred images; healing by connecting to the pure side of faith; and finally, meditation, transcendence, and the
encounter with oneself in the perception that we are all gods.”, details Leo.
As if it were a musical manifesto, Devaneio talks about the contradictions of religions that seek control through guilt
and punishment.
"The album proposes the liberation of these dogmatic religious notions, defending the idea that we are all gods and that
'the truth' and spirituality do not belong to a single religion", declares the vocalist, also the band's main lyricist.
