Through an internet ad in 2004, long term friends Caio Duarte and Diego Teixeira met the guitarist Victor H. Schmidlin, creating a then unaligned project with the drummer Rodrigo Costa.

The growing complexity of the band’s music demanded another guitarist, who came to be the city newcomer and music teacher Diogo Mafra.

In june of 2005, Rodrigo Costa left the band, and was replaced by Marlon Marquis, who filled for a few months before returning to his hometown. The band was then joined by the ecletic drummer Rafael Dantas (ex Dark Avenger and Last Rites).

In 2006 Victor left, and was soon replaced by Pablo Vilela (Rattlesnake, Engels Espíritos, ex Dark Avenger), an experienced guitarist known for his versatility and technique.

After massive live performing, in 2008 they finished their first full lenght, "Antigen".

The album was released with an overwhelming acclaim from both critics and fans, and is currently being placed by some media outlets among the best Brazilian metal albums of all time.

The excellent reception yielded several distribution partnerships, making the album available on Europe, North and South America, but the band is currently unsigned.

Press Release:   Mixing progressive influences and a furious soundscape, combined with a solid experimental verve, DYNAHEAD released in 2009 their first full lenght record, Antigen.

Comprised of well-known and experienced musicians from the respected Brazilian scene, DYNAHEAD already have a major touring history throughout South America, performing with bands such as ILL NIŃO, SEPULTURA, ANATHEMA, OMEN, RATOS DE PORĂO and many others.

Helmed by up-and-coming producer CAIO DUARTE and mastered by JAMES MURPHY (TESTAMENT, DEATH), DYNAHEAD is currently working on the worldwide release and promotion for their new opus. The antigen is here.

Reception:

PROGRESSIVE AREA – FRANCE: “Dynahead is a new Brazil... It’s a rare thing when I don’t want an album to end.”

METALUNDERGROUND – USA: “Dynahead’s "Antigen" didn’t just secure my enjoyment of Brazilian metal - it secured my respect for it.”

THE METAL OBSERVER – CANADA: “No matter what genre I attempt do classify them in, they seem to transcend all of them”

WHIPLASH – BRAZIL: “Sounds like the work of a lifetime trying to write the best Brazilian metal album of all time. ”

METALSUCKS – USA: “That’s the definition of a good band, right there. ”

SHAPELESS ZINE – ITALY: “A winning card for Brazilian metal and, overall, the entire world.”

FLIGHT OF PEGASUS – GREECE: “Interesting and promising, direct and exuberant, and honest in their intentions.”
