ith great influences from Prog, Power and Symphonic Metal in their sound, Liquens is a band from Brazil that has been performing since 2015, with presence in several online festivals throughout Latin America and with several materials already released, among them the audiovisual material called “A Noite Escura da Alma”, which gained another chapter with the recent release of the live version of the track “Cicatrizes”.

Originally released as the title track of the “Cicatrizes” EP in 2018, this live version was recorded on March 18, 2023 at Teatro de Bolso SESIMINAS in Belo Horizonte/MG with audio capture by Igor Leandro, lighting by Richard Filipe, mix and master by Wesley Lanzieri (also the band's guitarist) and video production by Junin Zex.

In the words of vocalist Ivete Lanzieri, “(the song) ‘Cicatrizes’ is a composition created in the context of a story based on the duality of good versus evil. Being the music of resolving the tension that was developed in the previous songs and in the story built on the album. It begins with a prominent bass symbolizing the ‘evil that was triumphing’, the vocal lines translate human fragility. The guitar, representing ‘good’, arrives with enough presence to duel against the bass and that is why the music has its conclusion in this epic duel where the guitar triumphs after defeating its musical ‘opponent’”.

The live version of “Cicatrizes” is available on the band’s official YouTube channel and can be seen at the link below:
