   Happy to announce the follow-up to Holoceno - ranked #3 on ProgArchives list of Top Albums of 2021!

LAMPIÃO REI is the second studio album by the Brazilian prog rock / avant-garde metal band Papangu. 

Recorded by 3x Latin Grammy-winning engineer Fernando Sanches and mixed 
by Berlin-based heavy psych expert Richard Behrens, Lampião Rei 
continues Papangu's series of albums on the Cangaço movement that began 
with Holoceno, the band's critically acclaimed 2021 debut. 

While Holoceno is a Faustian allegory for the climate crisis, Lampião 
Rei instead presents an epic, biographical narrative of magical realism,
 recounting the trials and tribulations of legendary bandit leader 
Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, a.k.a. Lampião (1898 – 1938), from his 
birth until his rise as the most fearful man in Brazil. The rest of the 
story—Lampião's downfall and the infamous beheading of his whole crew in
 1938—will be continued in a future recording. 

Now functioning as a sextet, with brothers Rodolfo and Pedro steering 
the songs into jazz-rock territory, and drummer Vitor—a forró 
percussionist and death metal expert by trade—grounding everything down 
with brute force and class, Papangu showcases their sophomore record 
with aplomb. Unlike the half-bedroom recording of Holoceno, most of 
Lampião Rei was recorded live in the studio as first takes. 

The result is Papangu's own brew of colourful, sludgy zeuhl taken to a 
rolling boil, showing not only the high-octane intensity that brought 
them comparisons to King Crimson and Magma, but also proudly displaying 
their Brazilian heritage, with influences ranging from Hermeto Pascoal 
and Edu Lobo to Sepultura.
