BRAINWORMS I is the first album from this group/project fully idealized by Rafael Bittencourt who has a discography of over 16 titles, gold records (in Brazil and Japan), over one million records sold and wrote some of the modern melodic-metal hymns such as ANGELS CRY Read Full BioThe BITTENCOURT PROJECT is the name of Rafael Bittencourt's most recent side project. He is the founder guitar player of the band Angra, that has conquered fame in many countries with a very singular style that blends Heavy-Metal, Brazilian and classic music.
BRAINWORMS I is the first album from this group/project fully idealized by Rafael Bittencourt who has a discography of over 16 titles, gold records (in Brazil and Japan), over one million records sold and wrote some of the modern melodic-metal hymns such as ANGELS CRY, TIME, STAND AWAY, Z.I.T.O., MAKE BELIEVE, METAL ICARUS, REBIRTH, ACID RAIN, THE SHADOW HUNTER, THE VOICE COMMANDING YOU among many other songs that for years inspire an assorted audience and motivate many hopeful musicians to improve themselves on their instruments.
Brainworms is a term created by Oliver Sacks, a famous American Neuron-scientist, to name certain types of melodies that eventually “stick” into our memory and we feel hard to get it off. Curiosly, Rafael had the melodies for the songs trapped in his mind right when he was reading Oliver Sacks's book “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain”. Inspired by this concept, he wrote the 11 songs of the album.
Accurate musicianship, talent, originality, a pioneer instinct, technique and feeling are just a few of the adjectives used to qualify this musician, owner of an unique sensibility, known as one of the most important of his style. And those are the same qualities found in the upcoming CD BRAINWORMS I from his recently born group: the BITTENCOURT PROJECT
The release of BRAINWORMS I is expected for October 2008, same month as ANGRA's 17th anniversary. This album comes as a gift for the fans that have been supporting this musician's career all over the world.
The BITTENCOURT PROJECT is been released simultaneously in Japan (JVC VICTOR) and Brazil (VOICE MUSIC). A tour might happen in Japan early 2009. And it is planned to be released in USA and Europe on late 2008.

Lay down and surrender
You soldier at arms
Your war will be over when you find peace inside
There ain't no way around it
No reason to fight
Life's worthwhile when you
Forget you're gonna die
For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settles down
I'm holding back the fire
Holding back the fire
Words are washing away
Like the pasth of my tears
Realigning my thoughts
Through the pages of the years
Stop making it worse!
Must accept what you've got!
Don't live your tomorrows
As just another day
Turn another page and live your life
And live your life
But my heart still bleeds
It's ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering
With torns wounding my heart
I refuse to see!
Am I going blind?
Can't run from the burning
When the smoke is in your eyes
You're the only one to be blamed
It's your own sacrifice
Stop looking for justice
That is no how it works
Don't leave for tomorrow
What you can do today
What you can do today
Is change your life
Change your life
But my heart still bleeds
It's ripping the scars
I'm bearing the suffering
With torns wounding my heart
I refuse to see!
Am I going blind?
Can't run from the burning
When the smoke is in your eyes
For this minute I'm just fine
All my anger settles down
I'm holding back the fire
Holding back the fire
That is ripping my scars
I am bearing the suffering
Holding back the fire
Beware of your anger
Your heart's still on fire
Your war can't be own until
You fine some peace inside
Lay down and surrender
You soldier at arms
Can't run from the burning
When you're holding back the fire
Now my anger settles down...
