Thanks for the list of Brazilian musicians. I'd never be able to find them otherwise. Damn, Eloy is beyond amazing and such a genuine guy too.

I only started listening to Slipknot again because of him; the videos of his live performances (even if sometimes in poor quality) show how amazing he is… Congratulations to those who opened their eyes and weren't narrow-minded in his choice.
