Música Pop/Rock - Michael Grant, vocalista da banda metal Crescent Shield, faleceu ontem (31 de maio) no hospital Glendale Memorial, na Califórnia!
«Vocalista dos Crescent Shield morre aos 39 anos
MICHAEL GRANT CONTRAIU DOENÇA SÚBITA
Michael Grant, vocalista da banda metal Crescent Shield, faleceu ontem (31 de maio) no hospital Glendale Memorial, na Califórnia. O músico tinha apenas 39 anos.
De acordo com a publicação da banda no seu site oficial, Grant sofria de uma “doença relativamente breve, mas séria”. O músico faleceu em paz e rodeado pela sua família. Mais detalhes sobre a doença não foram revelados.
Além de tocar nos Crescent Shield, que se têm mantido afastado dos palcos, Grant também integrava a banda Onward, que chegou a assinar contrato com a Century Media Records. A sua capacidade vocal é descrita como um “barítono rico e poderoso”, sendo que os seus colegas de banda lembrarão o músico pela sua voz “limpa e melódica, que o distinguia das restantes vozes no heavy metal”.
O comunicado da banda termina com as seguintes palavras: “Possivelmente o mais notável era a forma apaixonada como o Mike cantava. Ele podia convocar a força e a grande eloquência dos guerreiros mais poderosos do metal ou a atmosfera lúgubre de uma vida que passa”.
«Crescent Shield Vocalist Michael Grant Has Passed Away
by Dan on May.31, 2012, under News
Today I have lost a dear and close friend, a band mate, and a heavy metal brother. Michael Grant passed away on May 31, 2012 at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, CA after a relatively brief but serious illness. He was 39 years old. He was peaceful and surrounded by family at the time of his passing. Michael recorded and toured with several bands throughout his career most notably Onward on Century Media Records and more recently Crescent Shield on Cruz del Sur Music.
Michael’s rich and powerful baritone and clean melodic vocal style made him a distinct voice in heavy metal. He was known for crafting memorable vocal hooks and layered harmonies. He often weaved multiple vocal phrases together creating a complex and striking tapestry of vocal melodies. Perhaps most notable however was the passion Mike sang with. He could evoke the strength and grandiloquence of the mightiest metal warrior or the mournful atmosphere of a passing life.
Mike was more than just a singer though. He was a greatly talented songwriter and lyricist. Although he didn’t play an instrument, he would often write complete songs by humming guitar lines and vocalizing drum beats. His lyrics were profound, evocative and often personal. He was a true lover of heavy metal and would sing its praises with a sense of poetry and grandeur. No matter the topic: journeys into the unknown, the choices we make in life, religious dogma, or a crimson moonrise, Mike always delivered a moving message with unique elegance.
Writing, recording, and performing music with Mike in Crescent Shield was a joy. We were in synch creatively and complimented each other’s abilities very well. We produced music for the love of it. We performed for the love of it. Crescent Shield’s pinnacle performance at Keep It True 08 in Germany was a dream come true for both of us.
Working with Mike was the most creatively rewarding experience of my life. Although the band has been on hiatus for a while, Mike and I still were writing new material and his voice and creative energies were still in top form. Losing him at such a young age is both shocking and tragic. I will miss my musical companion, my metal brother, and my friend.» in http://www.crescentshield.com/

Crescent Shield - "My Anger"
"Await the Champion
Crescent Shield
Chosen, equal, last two shadows
Challenge, both heed the call
Strength and knowledge, calm and patient
Arena, both watched by all
I've been here waiting for all time
To find my adversary
Will this be the last day that I'll see
Or the first to live forever
We will...
FEEL the force and might
Uncertain eyes await the champion
One will rise above...one will fall
HAIL! the victor's right
Gather round to crown the champion
KNEEL! the winners name
Will stand tall
Weapons chosen, clash with steel force
Wounded, both blood does fall
Careful, cunning, skill so well taught
Stalemate, both will not draw
I feel the power of my enemy
At last my adversary
This will be the last day that he sees
So I will live forever
They will...
repeat chorus
Such new found glory
I'll fight to feel alive
The reaper also awaits
Even he does not know who will die
solo
Raise the fallen body from the ground
Remember his name with honor
Not lost but not won in the end
Respect I'll feel forever
Now we...
KNOW the force and might
Certain eyes await the champion
One did rise above...one did fall
HAIL! the victor's mine
Gather round to crown the champion
KNEEL! for my own name
Will stand tall"

«Adalberto é o novo treinador do Amarante
Por Nuno Pedro Fernandes
O antigo defesa-central do P. Ferreira, Adalberto, é o novo treinador do Amarante, clube que compete na Zona Centro da 2.ª Divisão.
Aos 43 anos e após toda a uma carreira ligada ao clube da capital do móvel – depois de pendurar as chuteiras continuou em Paços de Ferreira no departamento de observação –, o antigo futebolista vai estrear-se na função de treinador.
Adalberto acordou hoje contrato válido por uma época com a Direção do clube duriense e tem a difícil missão de substituir Arlindo Gomes, técnico que terminou o campeonato no quinto lugar, atrás dos candidatos à subida, Tondela, Espinho, Boavista e Operário.» in http://www.abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=334235
