Connecting Pieces – Army of Viruses

Paulo Faroni (guitar) and Vinnie Kuhlmann (drums) founded the Brazilian hard rock group Connecting Pieces in 2019. The two were former members of several bands from the Rock and Metal scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s, including Delpht and Tiger Cult. Carlos Alfano on guitar and Thiago Cicilini on vocals, two incredibly accomplished musicians with a great musical background, have joined the band as a result of a lineup change. In June 2023, the new lineup delivered the RECONNECTING EP, which featured two re-recordings and four covers and amply demonstrated the band’s versatility and creativity. Connecting Pieces’ track “Army of Viruses” is a thunderous onslaught of hard rock that leaves a lasting impact. From the very first notes, it becomes evident that this band is unafraid to push the boundaries of the genre and deliver a high-energy experience that will have listeners headbanging with reckless abandon. “Army of Viruses” showcases Connecting Pieces’ mastery of hard rock, as they skillfully navigate the genre’s sonic landscape. The track bursts to life with explosive guitar riffs that grab your attention and refuse to let go. The band’s guitarists display impressive technical prowess, delivering blistering solos and churning rhythms that create an electrifying atmosphere. The relentless energy and power conveyed through the guitars create a formidable backbone for the entire song. The driving force behind the track lies in the thunderous rhythm section. The drums provide a relentless and propulsive foundation, with pounding beats and expertly executed fills that inject an infectious energy into the music. The bass, on the other hand, adds depth and weight to the sound, accentuating the heaviness and amplifying the impact of each riff. Together, the drums and bass create an unstoppable momentum that permeates the entire track. Vocally, Connecting Pieces excels in delivering gritty and powerful performances.
