Biography

The first self-titled Almah was released in the second half of 2006 (Japan/Victor-JVC and Brazil/Laser Company) / in March 2007 (Europe/AFM Records). Besides singing, Edu Falaschi also produced the record, composed all the songs and wrote all the lyrics. He recorded acoustic guitars and keyboards and created all the arrangements for every instrument, including orchestrations. The album was recorded in Finland and Brazil with the following musicians: Emppu Vuorinen (guitars – Nightwish), Lauri Porra (bass – Stratovarius) and Casey Grillo (drums – Kamelot) and special guest appearances: Mike Stone (guitars – Queensrÿche), Edu Ardanuy (guitars – Dr. Sin) and Sizão Machado (bass – Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque and others) among others.

Edu Falaschi stated that he was looking for a name that was easy to remember and pronounce in all languages. In Portuguese and Spanish Alma means is soul. He discovered that in Hebrew, Almah (עלמה), with an 'h', means virgin and purity. He also states that many religious people say what it means is the opposite. 'I decided to talk about human feelings in a whole album - and human feelings can be good and bad – like liberty like love ore we can feel like freedom we can feel envy and greed – bad feelings. That's how I decided to write about human feelings.

The debut album got good reviews in many rock magazines and websites worldwide. Edu Falaschi was called one of the best singers by Burrn! magazine readers (Japan).

The second album Fragile Equality was released on September 24 in Asia/Brazil by JVC and Laser Company Records and on October 17 in Europe/U.S./Canada by AFM Records. Since in June 2007 Angra took a break for two years, Edu concentrated on Almah. The solo project month by month was turning into a real band with stable line-up.

Edu Falaschi: Angra really stopped in 2007 in July. And then when I released the first album, it was the solo album, I knew that maybe in the future Almah could be a band. And when Angra really stopped, we didn’t know about Angra future and we didn’t know when we would come back with Angra. I decided in December 2007 to create a new Almah album, but as a real band, as a full time band.

Besides Edu, who is handling the vocals, his Angra's mate Felipe Andreoli on bass has participated in the band. Guitar player Marcelo Barbosa from Khallice joined the band before its first tour in August 2007. During pre-production stage of Fragile Equality, drummer Marcelo Moreira and second guitarist Paulo Schroeber joined Almah. All members have contributed actively to the songwriting process of Fragile Equality, with Edu Falaschi and Felipe Andreoli being responsible for the production as well. The album was at Norcal Studios in 2008.

The 2nd Almah album Fragile Equality lyrical concept is about 'the balance between all the elements of the universe' based on a book that Edu is the co-writer for. The book 'Fragile Equality - Equinox-Book 1' (done in manga style) is to be released sometime later, with a karaoke CD of the Fragile Equality album.

In Brazil the first press of the album was sold out during the first day of official sales. According to the magazine Roadie Crew the album became of the best-selling albums in Brazil. By the readers of Brazilian Metal Magazine, Roadie Crew and by the contributors of the Brazilian metal website Whiplash, and the Brazilian metal website Rock Underground Almah and Fragile Equality were recognized as the Best Brazilian Band 2008, the Best Album 2008, The Best Artwork 2008 among other nominations awarded to Almah musicians. The album was also well reviewed internationally.

A tour started in São Paulo in November 2008 and finished in April 2009 in Rio de Janeiro. In July and August 2008, Almah played on the main stage of musical festivals Píaui Pop and Porão Do Rock.

In January 2009 Almah launched the new video clip Beyond Tomorrow. It was filmed in December 2008 in Brasília by Rodrigo Gianetto who works also for MTV Brazil. In March 2009 the band released its first Internet single, an acoustic version of 'All I Am', through its Brazilian Equality Fan Club.

Angra returned to the high activities in March 2009 but Almah announced the start of composing songs for the follower of Fragile Equality.

In September 2011, Edu Falaschi and Felipe Andreoli went to Japan to promote the album release by making various interviews for the local press. In October 2011, Paulo Schroeber left the band due to health issues.[citation needed] He had played his last show with the band in July 2011. The band also played a few concerts with Sepultura in late 2011.[citation needed]

In April 2012, the band played at the 'Metal Open Air' festival in São Luís. This was the first concert of the new guitarist Gustavo Di Padua replacing Paulo Schroeber.[citation needed] In May 2012, Felipe Andreoli announced his departure from Almah to fully dedicate himself to other projects and his main band, Angra.[citation needed] On the same day, Edu Falaschi announced his departure from Angra on an open letter, to fully dedicate himself to Almah.[citation needed]

Lead singer Edu Falaschi said in September 2013 that he had 20 new songs for an upcoming Almah album. The band has since released Unfold (2013), their fourth album,[citation needed] as well as a compilation, Within The Last Eleven Lines in 2015.
