HISTORY

CounterParts was formed in 1996 as a garage band influenced by great bands like Iron Maiden, Helloween, Manowar and Deep Purple.
		In 1998, they finished the recording sessions of their first demonstration CD, "Faraway from Home", recorded at Anonimato Studios in Sao Paulo/Brazil, (where the brazilian band Angra recorded their first material), obtaining a good repercussion in the local underground scene and praises of the national and international critic.
	In the middle of 1998, Renato Angelo came to reinforce the technical side of the band, that started to incorporate elements of the melodic heavy metal, turning the sonority of CounterParts music more harmonious
			In 1999 CounterParts presented its new independent CD – "Twilight Riders". Emerson Penerari became the band's new singer, and this release unveilled a powerfull heavy metal in 5 new songs: "Twilight Riders" ,"Burning Sins", "Final Pray", "Feelings of Pain" and "CounterParts".
