PERC3PTION is a progressive metal band from São Paulo in Brazil. In 2006, with the demise of the heavy metal band Travil, two members and friends Thariel Manteiga (bass) and Glauco Barros(guitar) wished to continue playing together . They invited Andre Xavier, drummer with the band Vulture, and Danilo Moraes (vocals) and Rick Leite (guitar) from Scarekrow, to play covers and songs from their old projects. In April 2007 it was agreed to make this arrangement more permanent, and Perception was formed. The name PERC3PTION was chosen as an analogy of the band’s ability to create something new and original, adding the different tastes and influences of its members, resulting in different perceptions in people who listen to their music and read their lyrics. With this team Perc3ption composed their first song, The Third Eye, whose theme is the virtual reality and the domain of machines over men. Between 2007 and 2008 the band composed several songs blending melody, heaviness, feeling and technique, always with well-crafted lyrics, covering topics obscure and controversial. The group has performed in many concerts and festivals in the interior of Sao Paulo, promoting their work, always making it the best possible way. In June 2010, facing some changes in their line-up, Percpetion admits Luiz Poleto on vocals and releases the single Dead Man In Me. In early 2012 Peferson Mendes takes the drumsticks and Wellington Consoli the bass. Both of them, long-time friends and partners in previous projects joined to complete the team. 2012 was spent working on the band’s debut album, Reason and Faith, which was independently released in 2013. Reason And Faith aims to explore the dichotomy between science and religion during various historical moments, real and fictional, and their consequences in our attitudes and perceptions.
