Biography:
Midas Fate started with Vitor Campos and Felipe Vieira … two gents who wanted to make virtuous songs that didn’t sound boring, so they started to write and record songs while looking for other musicians.
Renato Videira was friends with both Vitor and Felipe for years, and he joined the band later. They called on Mike DiMeo (ex-Masterplan, Riot) and then the line-up was complete. Mike brought his Bluesy style, which enriched the style of Midas Fate, which can best be described as Progressive Metal/Rock.
In February 2011, Midas Fate released the single, “What Dreams May Come”, which was mixed by Paulo Brancaccio at Diesel Studio and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studio. This single can be heard along with 3 other tracks on Metal Express Radio throughout the week of March 7, 2011 as part of the Metal Express Radio Independent Band of the Week promotion! The band is looking to release a full-length album sometime in the summer of 2011 …
