The 23rd of May: The Day 4 Young Men Died for São Paulo (MMDC)

After the Coup D’Etát that ended the Monarchy in Brazil in 1889, the country tried to organise itself and a natural path was localism. The country was then named the United States of Brazil.

Bahia was long forgotten and Rio de Janeiro had lost its former glory, so two main players took the lead: The State of São Paulo and The State of Minas Gerais, with high numbers in economy producing coffee and dairy products (among others), good foreign relations and always electing presidents from either one of those two states, solidifying their power (a period called Republic of Coffee and Milk).

Instead of trying to develop themselves and then also get to the top, the other states supported another Coup D`Etát (out of envy?) placing Getúlio Vargas in power, who started a ruthless dictatorship in 1930.

Obviously São Paulo was unsatisfied with the new (lack of) rule and the whole state started to question such lawless dictatorship and then on the 23rd of May, 1932, four young students were killed in confront with pro-dictatorship troops, the initial of those students’ surnames formed the acronym MMDC (Martins, Miragaia, Dráusio and Camargo) which became a symbol for the Constitutionalist Revolution promoted by São Paulo against Brazil of Getúlio Vargas, the biggest civil war of Brazil’s History.

São Paulo never forgives, never forgets.

Review Of The Live Presentation in Campinas 12/05/2025: Yes, as promised, Symphony of Enchanted Lands is wholly played, even the last track which takes the name of the album with it 13 minutes and 16 seconds. The fact that there is an orchestra and a choir on stage makes the experience a lot more real and expanded, but I have to say that samples weren't refrained from using. Although these classical music people were taken away from their usual place, they show extreme pleasure in playing metal and I dare to say that some of them might be metal listeners themselves. After finishing play that whole album, the band played the fans' favourites of Rhapsody as Land Of Immortals, Dawn Of Victory, Holy Thunderforce. The ballad Lamento Eroico made a very good use of the choir and the orchestra and gave the fans an epic moment. Fabio Lione is still sharp with his voice and sang very well and his popular charisma and character makes the vibe very positive on the stage and with the public. The band was mostly formed by members of the two Brazilian Metal bands Delohim and Nesher, which is positive once they are familiar to play with each other. They showed a lot of dedication, playing the songs with will and feeling and they were friendly to the public by staying there to talk to them after the show, while Fabio Lione left for a possible paid meet and greet.
Teatro Oficina do Estudante Iguatemi, the venue in Campinas that received the concert, is a typical theatre with seats and people were actually sitting for the show, which is quite different for a metal concert, but it was very well appreciated by people, I didn't see any complaints and I enjoyed that myself. For the last two songs, Fabio Lione asked people to stand up, which was done promptly. The opening band was Dogma, the nuns who mix the energy and catchy choruses of the hard rock (glam) with Gothic theme and visuals, I was surprised by their impeccable performance and the art they bring to the stage with their clothes and attitude. All in All I can say I found my Emerald Sword in this concert and I saw the violin & harpsichord passage of The Dark Tower of Abyss, which I never thought I would see live.

In this photo I asked Rusalka (Dogma) where they come from, to what she replied "from hell 🔥"
