Four years later he and a few friends started a band called Horizon, when he was 16 years old. The band was quite successful and well known, counting on with a legion of fans. They were the first metal band in Rio de Janeiro to receive the support of a small record company. Later on, after the band broke up, Tribuzy started a new band, in 1997, named Thoten. In the same year the band released a demo. In 2001 Thoten release their first album, called "Beyond Tomorrow", and in the following year they released it in Mexico, South America, Europe and Taiwan.

The album was produced by Kiko Loureiro, Angra's guitarist. Soon Thoten was touring in Europe and South America, performing on the best radios and pubs and participating on the Aglutination Festival IV, as co headline, in Chiaromonte ( Italy) Lima Metal Fest II as headline ( Peru). Thoten tour was the main subject of every single metal magazine in Europe and South America. The tour went by the following countries: Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Finland, Peru and Brazil. Tribuzy decided to leave Thoten and work harder on his career take-off, investing his time and talent on the make-up of Execution.

Ask any headbanger in the world what would be the Heavy Metal "Dream Team" and at least one of these names will be said: Bruce Dickinson,Michael Kiske, Roland Grapow, Kiko Loureiro, Ralf Scheepers, Matt Sinner, Roy Z, Chris Dale.

Renato Tribuzy gathered the best musicians of the heavy metal scene together on an album that has already made its mark in heavy metal history: Execution.

Execution is a sonic experience. An album that mixes the best of Metal with strength, melody and the talent of the most respected musicians on the scene, playing nine songs written by Tribuzy and a cover ("Nature Of Evil", from the German band Sinner). The musical influences used by Tribuzy during the writing process were the great classics such as Powerslave (Iron Maiden), And Justice For All (Metallica) and other 80's heavy music. The production was done by Tribuzy, with the help of some of very experienced music producers, such as:

Achim Koehler : Who has also produced bands like Helloween, Primal Fear, Sinner and Accept.
Roy Z : Who has also produced bands like Helloween, Rob Halford, Judas Priest and has been working for years with Bruce Dickinson.
Dennis Ward : who has also produced bands like Angra and DC Cooper.

Execution is not only a project but due to Tribuzy's dedication to it, he decided it wouldn't be an isolated solo project. It is in fact his first band's album, with great guests, and a world tour is being planned, since within five months the album got distribution in all the major territories of the world such as: USA, Germany, UK, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Russia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Asia and more.

Execution Appears in the heavy metal charts in several countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Japan, in this last one having the title track of the album as the title track of a TV sport show!

After the initial success of the Execution album, it was decided to play some concerts in Brazil featuring all the guest artists from the album. This was a very difficult task to achieve with all the different artists schedules, but finally in November 2005 another dream came true and the full line-up appeared together onstage for three concerts and to be recorded for DVD release.

Tribuzy is the first Brazilian heavy metal musician ever to work with such a well known group of people onstage, and one of the very few to do it worldwide.

This DVD has 9 Tribuzy songs and three covers including a great jam with all the musicians playing the ZZ Top Song - Tush. In addition there are bonus features including the "making of", rehearsals and interviews with all guests and the band itself.

The DVD was recorded during 4 days in Brazil and received press coverage in the major heavy metal magazines and websites around the world. It has thus become one of the most highly anticipated up-coming heavy metal releases of 2006!

Lake Of Sins
Tribuzy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living as the nameless one
We keep our lives on and on
Without a way we
Are treated as worms
The Sky is my roof
And the pain is my root
The cry for freedom
Is my only hope

That makes my heart
Break in two parts

And the darkened destiny
Makes us fall on our knees
We remember a time with
Dreams in hands
Deaf in our mind sleeps the fire
Which burns our desires
White deep in our hearts
We're bleeding silently

Dive inside of
Your lake of sins
Thus you will see what I mean
Wash your soul in your lake of sins
Dive Inside your dreams

When the night arrives
You feel the fright
So many lies
You cannot sleep or carry on

Mistakes you have made
Now live on and on, and on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tribuzy's song Lake Of Sins depict the struggles of living on the margins of society, where one does not even have an identity or a name. The nameless one, presumably a marginalized individual or group, keeps living their lives despite the challenges they face. They are treated as worms, and the sky is their roof. Pain is their root, and the cry for freedom is their only hope.

Furthermore, the song talks about how destiny can be unfavourable and make one fall on their knees, leading them to remember the time when they had dreams in their hand. The fire inside them that once burned with desire has now been deafened by their mind's silence. White deep in their hearts, they are bleeding silently.

In the chorus, the song urges listeners to dive inside their lake of sins to see what the lyrics mean. The lake of sins is a metaphor that represents one's consciousness, asking them to face their fears and wash their souls. The song ends on a note of despair, with the night bringing fright and the mistakes people make living on.

Line by Line Meaning

Living as the nameless one
Existing without recognition

We keep our lives on and on
We continue to survive

Without a way we
When we are lost and helpless

Are treated as worms
People belittle and mistreat us

The Sky is my roof
We have no shelter but the sky

And the pain is my root
Our suffering is the source of our strength

The cry for freedom
We long for liberation

Is my only hope
It's the only thing that keeps us going

That makes my heart
It deeply affects our emotions

Break in two parts
Causes extreme distress and sadness

And the darkened destiny
Our unfortunate fate
